i have a blackberry user for a long time, and even have a playbook. But, now I feel that they are, or will not improve their devices to keep other smartphone out there. I did use the first Moto Droid liked it, but could not stand the issues with the OS, i have an ipod touch for music playback. I have a mac and Ubuntu machine in the house. So I am asking, did Android improve or fix most of their bugs, and what about IOS, i heard it just works, with minimal issues.
So I am hoping, that you can refer me to a good alternate from my 9650. :)

Sorry RIM failed you. It is sad that they just can't seem to get their act together.
How much you use that Ubuntu box relative to the Mac may be all important. If you favor the Mac, go iOS; and the reverse if you favor Ubuntu. If you are also going to be using this phone at work, check with your IT group to see if they have any requirements. Hopefully they don't, but better to be safe.

Thanks for the input. I would say Ubuntu is my main system and the IOS come second host most of my media. I would prefer to sync it with my Ubuntu if I can but most of my contacts are sync in the cloud. Our IT dpt right is testing a fork of Android and Iphone right now, so we will wait for the answer.

iOS just works, 98% of the time. Android will work 95% of the time, but when it doesn't work it is super annoying. ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich, A.K.A.: Android 4.0) makes a lot of improvements though. The catch is that iOS will deliver a superior, simpler, prettier experience every time, but it locks you into the Apple ecosystem (so you're stuck with iTunes, you're stuck with the Dock connector, you're stuck with iPhone approved chargers, you're stuck with expensive A/V cables or an Apple TV to play video to a TV, etc.) compared to the Android experience that is entirely separated from any connection with your computer, and the variety of phone hardware provides some flexibility in your capabilities (like HDMI out on some models). The catch is no unified accessories ecosystem, of course.
