(For YOU) Maybe 8 or 9 years ago. But today? Nope, not really. All platforms are pretty much equal on that measure. (Perhaps for "YOU"- I have used the others and they don't compare for MY needs. Re-read my post- )
What actually IS a big measure though, is support for alternative measures of correspondence. Shared documents, cloud project corroboration, proprietary network applications (most notable in medical and academic institutions), etc.. (Again for YOU and YOUR needs. I have zero limitations for my needs. Office 365?- Drop Box? Box? These all work well on my BlackBerry devices)
BB was at one time king of messaging and email. Unfortunately, today email and messaging are very minor aspects of productivity in a business environment. (For YOU and your needs. Paramount for running my business) They're still effective at a very basic level. But platforms other than BB have managed to lock those abilities down as well, and move beyond. (not for MY needs- Android or iOS and the various email apps came no where close)
The simple fact of the matter, is that BB's dominance in messaging is yesterday's technology. PKB's aren't even needed anymore. (For YOU) Virtual KB's are just as good and dominate every "ease of composition competitions", and as well find users happy that they don't suffer Thumb Fatigue.
