It really depends if you need all the BB system. There are companies that invested so heavily to integrate their infrastructure with BB that keep using a BB might be a better idea.

If you are just a regular user, I'd say Nexus One can do everything your 9700 can and some more to spare. Anything in particular you use heavily on your 9700? I might be able to share some of my exp. using N1 in that area.

Only thing I'm going to miss on my BB 9000 is the BBM. Everything else on there can be done with the Nexus One.

This supposedly saves battery life, and today was my first day with this setting, and indeed it does!
I did this, but my emails don't sync as often.

IIRC I signed up for it a few months ago.

I think the beta goes public tomorrow.

Yeah, I think I can type faster on the BB 9000 or 9700 even with the help of swype.

Either way, I'm kinda glad I left blackberry behind.

Wow. swype beta is a 6.5mb package. Although I still really like HTC IME.
