If BBs and iPhones have Android...

[Remordere]

Would you buy it?

If they ran the Android OS or if they have emulation like RIM is planning to offer? If they were Android devices then what would make them different? How are you envisioning RIM and Apple integrating Android into their devices? Would Apple still have the same walled garden as they currently do? Would BB's still require access to RIM's infrastructure and dedicated BB data plans as they currently do? Your question really omits a lot of information that would affect how people will reply.

^Basically...yea....it depends on some things....lol

If the iPhone was still as it is today, probably not. Dont want any phone under 4" now. BB, no way.

WP7? A strong maybe.

I'm confused as well. Would I want a BB's hardware running Android? No. It would be crappy hardware. Would I buy a phone made by BB that ran Android? That depends on what hardware it's got, what features it has, etc......

What exactly do you mean? Android already has handsets with similar looks and form factors to the iPhone and BB. There are Android handsets with a slate form factors with 3.5" screens as well as a half screen/half keyboard form factor like the typical Blackberry.

With some of the recent Android phones...I wonder when will RIM begin their look n feel lawsuit.
