Android hands down. I work for a $3 billion global company that is ditching their blackberry infrastructure (read: 5000+ phones & way too many blackberry servers), at quickly possible as practical, instead, for Android phones that interface way easier to their infrastructure without either a BB server bottleneck or yet another BBnetwork outage, throttling access and performance.
Android requires much less support & backend costs all around, more reliable also. RIM is in a serious sales tailspin and having trouble servicing their existing customers as well as keeping pace with current customers & software let alone developing anything new, especially with a constant revolving door at the board level. Many Fortune 500 companies are looking at replacing their aging, bottlenecking, BB infrastructure with (read:) Android phones/tablets or iPhones/iPads).
I had a BB8830 World Edition, followed by a BB Storm. The old BB8830 WE was rock solid. Storm, which at the time, I loved. I went through 2 BB Storms due to defects, gave up and moved to Android. Been on Androids since then, upgrading from an original Droid to DroidX2.
My wife willingly gave up her iPhone 3gs & got a Droid X over a year ago. She does NOT want to go back to an iPhone. So far as work goes, I'm on my 3rd BB in less than a year due to defects.
My employer is moving to Android globally as soon as is practical to reduce overhead, downtime, and excessive costs. Do yourself a favor, get an Android phone (Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, Whatever), you won't be sorry. They will still be around. RIM/Blackberry on the other hand....

For making calls, emails, texting, and social networking, the blackberry will be better. However, if you want to play ANY games (angry birds, words with friends, etc....), you will need to get the android. The android will also send emails, make calls, and be able to send texts just the same, but maybe not as productively.

Neither. Get a Windows Phone. Immense variety in hardware from Nokia, HTC, Dell, LG, ZTE, Fujitsu, Acer, Samsung with a range of capabilities ane price points. Windows Phone devices get update regularly unlike Android, are far more capable unlike BlackBerry, are far more dynamic unlike iOS. Good luck.
