Right so don't actually respond to my point. Just disregard it with distraction and claim it invalid. Considering I took the time to pose a valid question and all you did was try to insult, gonna have to say you're the one spewing drivel..

Let me clarify:
- Email is better on the BB. Why? On my BB I keep a lot of emails, on my desktop I delete only those that need follow-up. That emails on exchange and BB can be independently deleted is a useful feature to me. When I actually need to view a 50mb excel file, I use my desktop.
- The Phone: 3 iphones in the family and one BB. I'm dissatisfied with the call quality of the iphones. Again, IMO.
- IOS Calendar: It's buggy, a technote has been issued to employees not to accept meetings using your IOS device.
- WIFI: Another issue, but not as you interpeted my post. When switching wifi networks, my ipad almost always requires a reboot because it can't access the wifi network. Again, I'm not the only that has experienced this in my circle.
So I agree on sheer numbers ios and andriod win. I can't comment on android telephony, but have a definite negative opinion on iphone telephony. Email goes to BB only for the reason, I can unset the sync between exchange and BES.
It's hard for most people to spend any time with the Z10 or BB 10 when no BB 10 smartphones have been officially released yet (and won't be released for another few weeks in the U.S.) and the Playbook hasn't been updated to BB 10 as of this writing.
I read your post and am confused about your point also.
Validation is not how many friends one has a particular brand of chat software. My Imessage has only 3 contacts, my immediate family. Google chat is a non-starter for me and multi-platform does not make it better. It makes it multi-platform. As far as group video chat, meh. Including BB 10 they are all going to have some of these features. Plus BB 10 will allow voice calls over wifi. Something I can't do natively with IOS.
The camera robustness is at the bottom of the list of things I care about. It just has to be good enough and according to BB 10 , crackberry review, it is.
IOS on the iphone, imo, is the worst thing I have every experienced (and if you read my preceding post I have 3 iphones in the family). IOS works much better on an ipad.
As far as bugs don't get me started in IOS:
- bad calendar bug that causes issues in exchange
- constant safari crashes on ipad.
- almost always required reboot of ipad when switching wifi networks
Not really bad things, except for #1, in and of themselves. #1 renders IOS useless for some calendar activities.
"i just wish RIM didn't leave such a huge gap between the z10 and the current market. the OS has some cool features, but not really anything exclusive"
I do agree with this statement. As my S2 is now three years old, my choices for a new phone is either iphone or BB 10. The calls over wifi is an exclusive feature that actually may sway my decision. As I constantly fumble around on an iphone, I'm not particularly concerned about fumbling around on any phone, it's a new learning paradigm and that's what it is. I do agree whole heartedly with the comment about the gap.
I thought the iPhone 5 used an A6, not and A5X.

And if they really think that, it shows they are in they same boat RIM was 3 years ago.
Yeah, my bad. I got that mixed up. you're right, it's the A6.
