I like how Android 4 fixed a glitch I had with most -oid emulators.
However I can't use fast forward anymore (to grind in RPGs.)

Blackberry because I enjoy summer rioting.
Objection!
You said in blogs that you disliked Blackberry.

I'm just trolling but where am I trolling?
 
I use Android the most but there's pros and cons.

I'm not too fond of iOS but at least it's streamlined. With Android devices, there's so many of them that one build of Android can run great on one device but be terrible on another. At least with iOS if you buy the product, you're guaranteed (mostly) to have the OS running well.

That being said I do enjoy the customization in Android and the "openness" people always talk about. I'm a cheap bastard and just downloading an APK off the internet of something I want works just as well as buying it from the store. Of course I'm a lazy bastard at times and buy things off the store from time to time.

I've used an older version of iOS way back when and I'm currently using my Kindle Fire with modified Android. The latter is a definite improvement over the former.

I haven't done so myself but I'd say you're more or less guaranteed a pretty good experience if you have a Nexus device running AOSP or similar.
 
You could get the metro interface on Android. There is a UI for it in the market.
It would really not be the same, the UI is not only about the "Hubs", it it doesn't have any menus, which Android seems to love, everything is contained within screens that you can flip around. While you can get the hubs in another OS, you don't get the whole functionality of the OS.

It seems that most people here likes Android. I have not used 4.0 but seems by far the best and the most polished iteration yet.

So no love for Blackberry or webOS?
