Its not always about side by side specs, which the bb still currently gets smoked at. Nor about os functions, also dessimated here. Its about an ecosystem of developers reaching to consumers allowing them to incorporate their lives in ways that are beneficial between consumers/consumers consumers businesses. How often do you read about rim innovating business tools? Because I see this topic frequently for ios and android. You can make nfc payments at a drive thru with your android now. Full office suites available on wp7 ios and android, windows tablets even have adobes full suite running on them. These devices dwarf functionality offered by rim. "Just works" doesnt cut it anymore.
