Java mobile: Android or Blackberry?

Question

Hi all,

Most of the questions on SO has been too generic, comparing iPhone, Android and Blackberry all at once. I want to ask your experience between developing on Android and Blackberry.

From your experience as Java programmer:

• Which platform do you enjoy developing on the most?
• Which API do you find is well written and fun to code?
• Which development platform that is fun to work with?
• Which platform do you find most stable and less issues with?

Android or Blackberry? Any other noteworthy checklists to share to Java programmers that want to choose whether to develop on Android or Blackberry?

Thank you for sharing your experience with us here.

2. Huge community
3. Linux
4. More Open than BB
5. Many more.....
