I would definitely recommend the droid over the blackberry.

Blackberry was a leader in the smartphone, but the iphone has been a real strong competitor. The biggest benefit of the blackberry was the keypad and the integration with exchange and office networks and the push technology.

The droid has all of that and it's app market is very rich. On top of that, the droid has some great features like google voice, voice search, maps and gps which makes it beat the blackberry hands down. The blackberry better innovate fast to keep up.

My husband has been drooling over the Droid. I must agree this is a vey great phone. Ihave yet to see it compared to the Blackberry, instead many people are comparing it to the iphone.
I personally would prefer this phone to both the iphone and the Blackberry, as I am not a big fan of the blackberry's open keypad display.

Here is one sites review for you:
If you must compare the DROID to the iPhone, then know that the Android platform still has a ways to go before the experience of using the phone is as seamless as the one Apple has created -- but also know that Apple has a long way to go before its messaging, email, and customization can match what Google is offering. Both products have very distinct strengths and weaknesses.

So, is the DROID a good smartphone? Yes, the DROID is an excellent smartphone with many (if not all) of the features that a modern user would expect, and if you're a Verizon customer, there probably isn't a more action packed device on the network. That's not to say the device doesn't have its faults; the camera was unpleasant to use, the application selection feels thin in both quantity and quality (despite the claim of 10,000 options), and the phone has bits of basic, non-intuitive functionality that might chafe on some users after a while. But even still, it's hard not to recommend the DROID to potential buyers eager to do more with their devices. It's easily the best Android phone to date, and when you couple the revamped OS, Verizon's killer network, and an industrial design straight from a gadget enthusiast's fever-dream, it makes for a powerful concoction. Ultimately, the DROID won't usurp the iPhone from the public's collective mindshare or convince casual users that they must switch to Android, but it will make a lot of serious geeks seriously happy -- and that's good enough for us.
