The biggest issue for me is exporting my Blackberry address book to .xls spreadsheet and then aligning columns to accurately import them into Gmail --> Android.

I've been at the Verizon store for about 1.5 hours just trying every possible thing I could think of on the Android and comparing time versus the Blackberry (i.e. on Blackberry I can hit: browser, menu button, letter b to get the line item bookmarks, letter d to see all bookmarks that start with d (i.e. Delta status, delta sky club, delta seatguru, etc.)).

Its a tough move to make but one of these days I'll take the plunge and move to the Android.
