Android
Wins – Google. If you use Google apps and products heavily like I do,
the integration here is great. The Gchat app on Android is a curse and a
blessing. The easy video chatting is great (even works over 4G) but the
app constantly has to re-sign in each time it loses network connection
for even a bit. The Blackberry Gchat app actually is way better for
staying connected and not being told by people that you are constantly
logging in and out.
Loses – Battery. If I try and use the Android as my only phone and
eschew the Blackberry for phone and messaging, I run out of battery
around 2:30pm. This renders the Android useless as a stand alone device
and it’s the worst of the three in this regard .Google's Android operating system is the most widely deployed platform
on tablets and smartphones at present, with a large number of vendors
providing their own customized versions. Integrating smoothly with many
Google services, Android is rapidly evolving with the latest version

The Bottom Line
If you’re a power user like me, there is still no one device that can
get it all done for you. The Blackberry screen is too small and it
doesn’t have enough great apps. The iPhone battery doesn’t last long
enough for standalone usage and the mail, calendar etc integration is
not as strong as Android’s. The Android hasn’t caught up to the Apple
App Store and it’s the worst when it comes to battery time
