The guys at Crackberry.com recently conducted a poll to find out the 5 most important improvements Blackberry users want on the Blackberry 10 platform. What they probably did not expect was to get a flurry of distinct recommendations, numbering in hundreds, which were eventually condensed into a list of 25 .

If you’ve ever used a Blackberry 10 device, some of the suggestions on that list are pretty expected, as they’re things we take for granted on other platforms – more browser download options, multiple folder support, SD card support for apps and better Voice Recognition.

But the most surprising of them all, and interestingly number 1 on the list,  is the request for Google Services integration. Blackberry 10 users are apparently not satisfied with just being able to install Android apps on their devices; they want the whole package. Okay maybe it’s not that much of a surprise; Android accounts for 75% of all smartphones in the world. Naturally many Blackberry 10 users are already immersed in the Android Ecosystem.

Another interestingly Google-related request on that list is the ability to install Android apps straight from Blackberry World. You have to wonder if maybe what Blackberry 10 users really want is an Android phone.  Like it or not, Android is winning.
