Coming to Android from a Blackberry, and moving my daughter from BB to Android, I don't feel there is any comparison. The Moto Droid has had very few issues (except one stuck out-going picture email) and the Droid Eris for my daughter (except for the few days we kept her old phone after the bug-ridden update that causes frequent lock-ups on the Eris.) The Blackberry devices, 2 different models, would often freeze, or loose internet connectivity, requiring battery pulls to fix. The browser on Android is so much better than BB's browser, it's not even close. The app selection is limited, and almost every app that might be worth-while for BB are $3 and up, not to mention the ever-present threat of RIM being bought-out by the "Evil Empire" to get their footing back in the Smart Phone market, now that version 6.5 of their OS is a flop and version 7 won't be shipping until sometime late 2010, and even then it will almost certainly be too little, too late. (I figure if I mention them by name, I'll get edited saying I'm not being "nice", you can take a guess on who I am referring to.)
You only have to look at what happened to Danger and the Sidekick once assimilated by the E. E. to see what you'd be facing if it ever happened.

Everything that I underlined is the exact reason why I got an Android phone instead of a BlackBerry. Why? Because I did my research first.
I just wish that people would realize is that BB is really only good for their almost seamless way to connect to corporate e-mails and such. Not that BB's are bad phones, my lady loves them.
