I chose the Droid Pro for just this reason.
Pro:
- Keyboard. Not as great as BB, but better than my old WinMo phone. And much better than the software keyboard on my iPad.
- Widgets. Turns out I really like have new emails, upcoming events, and RSS feeds displayed right on the home screen.
- I had to switch to VZW from ATT to get this phone; now I have much better customer service and coverage.
Cons:
- The Motorola exchange client is better than the standard Android exchange client, but not as good as the iPad's.
- The Motorola stock calendar app is as good as the iPad's, but not as good as the BB's. For instance - it lacks a way to add events in other time zones.
- The phone periodically crashes and reboots itself, which is just unacceptable in 2011
- While I've enjoyed downloading apps and widgets and games, I usually end up deleting them pretty quickly. Many are just not very good; some actually decrease the phone's performance. I think most users would probably be better served by Apple's tighter control of the apps
