Ask Dan, he'll tell you. ;-) since you're already using a BB, you can restore all of your files via BB Desktop Manager and you're off and running. Alternatively, Android is a great OS. Hardware-wise, the myTouch is "okay". Don't go with the CLIQ - too slow. There are supposed to be a lot of new Android handsets out next year, so this is very unfortunate timing. There is also the rumor of T-Mobile getting the iPhone. Maybe hold out to see if it comes true and limp along with something else? Sorry to hear about your loss! NO question. BlackBerry 9700.

MyTouch 3G should also be considered. I'd stay away from Blackberry since the browser does suck. Motorola G1 or Cliq. MyTouch 3G should also be considered.
