Has anyone been able to communicate between BlackBerry and Android phones via NFC?

I have been trying to do some basic communications between a BlackBerry and a Android NFC enabled phone. The BlackBerry is a Bold 9930 with 7.1 on it, and the Android is a Nexus S with 2.3.6 on it. I have the BlackBerry set up to emulate a tag and am trying to get the Android phone to recognize it. I have a NXP test board set up and it can read the BB emulated tag's ID, but the Android won't recognize it. Has anyone been able to do this successfully?

You have a good example at blackberry doc. You can share a NDEF message to the Android phone. Is a simple example but the communication is possible.

Yes, I just used the Smart Tags app on a BlackBerry 9360 with OS7.0 to create a Smart Poster tag and place it in tag emulation mode. Then held it to the back of a Nexus S running NXPs tag writer app, and it recognised and read the BB emulated tag. Likewise the tag was read on the Nexus S by the NFC TagInfo app by Michael Roland at NFC Research Lab.
