So was it a matter of not having BBM available for Android that killed it for you? I understand the battery life thing cuz I had to change the way I thought of battery life coming from a Motorola Q.
No, it was overall communications. SMS, MMS, IMs, emails, voicemail, etc are all in one spot and also in their own spot if you prefer it that way. They are all much more integrated with each other and their respective contacts.

Have you used a Blackberry before? If not, most BB users can tell you that nothing can come close to it in communications. I didn't think it would be that much of a drop off with Android, but it was.

In web browsing, media, and having fun apps, the N1 will murder the BB. So they both have their strengths. If you look back, I was having a lot of fun at first, but quickly realized it wasn't that good in comparison to a BB as far as communicating. I can have all that fun stuff in a better environment on my computer.

Also, where I usually am in my house I need UMA, otherwise I will lose service sporadically. BBM was not even a factor, it was communications, UMA, and then battery.


Edit: I'll stop threadjacking as I most likely won't even be in this thread anymore.

So you didn't like your N1?

I have lots of respect for the BB though ...but Android phones can do more than a BB and it's only getting better..

Just went from a bb to the samsung moment, pretty good deal on craigslist. Taking some time to get used to all this new shit. Was going to get the hero but some chick backed out.

2.1 has been leaked for the Eris, still no root though, so far the only thing solidly confirmed not working is paid apps in the market

the 2.1 leaked for the eris gave the htc hero users a boost as well...

mms, visual mail and camera still not working ...
Thats cause no matter what rom we have were still stuck with the .26 kernel and the camera is only compatiable with the new .29 kernel so either we have to wait for the kernel or try to get it to work with the .26
Looks like were gonna have to wait for the .29..

I haven't flashed the 2.1 leak yet since there's no root yet, don't want to be stuck on a half assed rom since I can't downgrade back to 1.5 or use another version, plenty of folks on XDA claiming random signal/sync trouble

You cant flash .a rom without root though
You can flash the leaked software onto the Eris through hboot, just like downgrading to prepare for rooting but this time it's upgrading lol, but I'm not going to use this leak too many things not working right I'll wait for the next one or the OTA
