might just abandon bb ship with this one.

My Tmobile contract is almost up. since bbm might be a go for android, is the galaxy the best android go-to phone on tmobile? and yes i am aware that tmobile will have the new blackberry(s) that are coming out this summer, ill look into that. Been loyal through my battery pulls and its time to reevaluate. anyone?

How are the batteries on Android phones? I'm tired of having to charge my phone every day/other.

Depends on the phone, than it depends on if you are going to be using a custom rom/fw. There are certain roms that try to maximize battery life but you usually are going to have to lose some functionality for maximum battery life.

i think thats what makes bbm such a big deal.
i had a BB for a while rarely used it, only with my friends in nicaragua which made it easy and cheap for me to talk to them.

Umm dude... Whatsapp has those features u mentioned above.

^The batteries on Androids need to be charged pretty often...more so than the iPhone's or Blackberry's.

Too bad I'm gonna be stuck with the Torch until September of 2012.

this. tell me how I go on my iTouch to check my e-mail so I can track a shipment and theres an app that automatically loads up the UPS tracking page without me even downloading it? my BB OG Storm can't do anything remotely close to that. I realize it's dated 2 years but for crying out loud. 
BB just gave away the only thing they have going for them right now. BBMs are cool, but when you think about it are you willing to keep the BB just to be able to BBM chicks? Does it really matter how you text these garden tools? I'm dropping my BB with the quickness when my plan comes up in the spring...

Whats app > regular texting all day.

Pictures, voice messages, sending locations, and interface are infinitely better than regular texting. Character limits? Please....

With that said, BBM is hella late to the cross platform chatting game. They may have started it, but they've been stagnant for the longest time trying to keep this a blackberry exclusive while kik and whatsapp have been growing. Too late to catch up imo.

That would be the keyboard. The physical keyboard is (Still) unmatched by any phone manufacture. Their OS can go to hell.
