the majority of my BB use is for emails and texting so moving away from my phone's strength would be nuts for now
i may just get a galaxy tab to quench my android craving

I take it you've been strapped with your BB for years - and probably for good reason, like you said, for emails & texting.
Current BB users have been rockin' them for years & don't want to change because of their strength is set in stone with the familiarity of the product.
Galaxy Tablet would help you out if you're jones'in for some Droid lovey dovey time.
If you had thoughts of getting a iPad - I'd just tell you to get an iPhone. But if you wanted to walk the BB and have some Droid action, then you already got the gameplan worked out and it sounds sweet.

Pros - Huge screen, open source apps/Android
Cons - Battery life, no qwerty keyboard
I'll admit, I miss my qwerty. The battery life kinda sucks but that screen is HUGE and makes browsing and media really enjoyable. Hell... I was watching NFL Redzone from my phone over the holidays when I was on the road. 
Unless yer tied to itunes or apple... you won't regret the Samsung.
