Got enough with my Blackberry Bold and plan to buy an Android phone instead. What is a good Android phone to buy under $500?

I have been using Google's flagship phones (Nexus/ Pixel) for about 4 years and cannot recommend them enough.

Got a Google Pixel and it is great. Though it is a bit expensive, it worths the money. One thing to keep in mind is how to transfer data from other phone to Pixel. There is a great guide out there and you can get the data on new phone within minutes.

I love my HTC.  Under 150.00 now, I think, on Amazon.  Not fancy, but great sound and excellent camera. And, BIG!  Downside:  packed with bloatware.  Upside:  cheap, 55.00/month, unlimited everything (Sprint) pkg deal.

Love my Samsung Note 5.

I'm still using my Samsung Galaxy S5.......

But honestly, this question can only be reasonably answered if you share exactly how you want to use it and what features are important. For me, having a removable battery and spares is important, which cuts down my choices significantly. Screen size, battery life, carrier, all things to consider.

Edit: Oh, already picked huh? Fast decision; I'm used to browsing technology boards so that's pretty rare, haha.

Any Galaxy.  They are easy to operate, dependable, and Samsung is a quality brand.

Galaxy for years. Love the phones - hate the battery.
