I just switched over to the Android ship with a Nexus 4, and I'm loving it, for my personal use. I do miss elements of my BlackBerry tho, soundprofiles mostly, and email simplicity. I actually kind of like the FB app better as well, you can do more with the Android, but it's not as user friendly IMO.
ANYWAYS... I'm going BB10 either with my new work phone provided by work, or perhaps as a business phone on a business line for a project I have in the works.
Don't know if Z10 and go full screen, or Q10 and key my keyboard... which, I'm not missing all that much with the apps like Swiftkey Flow and stuff for droid. (It would be murder in a professional use however, emails would demand to be proofread!).

Typing this from my new z10, picked it up at 10am yesterday and used it all day...
Initial Impressions:
The OS is very good. Stable and Snappy. The "Hub" is awesome and everything feels deeply integrated. The screen is awesome, very high res and crisp. Camera is very decent but the noise levels are a little high in low light. Time shift camera is cool. Fantastic browser. Keyboard is the best touch screen typing experience I've ever had, having said that, definitely still a learning curve coming from a 9900. BBM Video is cool, works well, screen share is a huge plus. Takes a bit of getting used to, being a very gesture based OS, it's a different experience then the typical "in and out" routine of iOS and Android. I really like that the OS "feels" like a Blackberry, it's familiar but a complete overhaul of what we're used to. Decent apps so far, more to come for sure. Still a lot of little things that could be improved on. No landscape in BBM. I can't find a way to "mark prior as read" or "delete prior" from the hub, like you could previously do with OS 6 & 7. Blackberry Maps - although usable for sure, isn't as complete as Apple or Google maps. User sound profiles are lacking, you don't really have the same multiple options as before. For example, I can't put the phone in a "bedside" mode and have only phone calls active. I could go on. The ability to easily sideload any Android App (provided you have the APK) is great, they may not all work exactly as desired but from the ones I've tried, they're pretty functional. All the negatives are easily fixed with a simple software update, which I'm sure will happen before the US launch. Overall, quite happy, and it'll only improve I'm sure.

OK, so I just played around the z10, meh... not a fan of the touch type interface, but like the throwing words up, even if it doesn't really know what I wanted to type, hopefully it's more intuitive.
However, enjoyed the BB familiarity, and the fresh of the swiping from screen to screen and PlayBook swipe gestures from the border.
I did make a stupid mistake and wanted to see BBM so I put in my old BBID and it loaded up all my contacts, tested it a bit, but couldn't remove my BBID or BBM account afterwards (BTW this was in a Rogers store lol) so I just security wiped it and left, that's going to be sufficient right? I'm being totally serious here... dunno if BB10 has different security features than it's predecessors.
Also, set up my old 9900 with my mom, set up BBID and APPWORLD to bill to Rogers via bill, bought an app but it's cycling through processing and won't stop. I hardreset and the phone releases itself from the clutch of "Please Wait" but as soon as you go back to APPWORLD, it tries to complete the purchase again. Anyone know how to clear that? There was a cache flush button combo, but can't recall.
