Why I see Nokia Lumia (WP) ahead of Blackberry at this moment.
I feel like Im going to get a lot of hate from some of the posters but here is a genuine opinion of a loyal BB user.
Please note that even where I may have not specified, Im only talking bout the Nokia LUMIA line and not their entire portfolio of phones.
Regardless of what this website would like us to believe I have a bad feeling that BlackBerry is going to stay in the fourth place for a while. Nokia Lumia devices which account for most of WP devices look like they have easily secured the 3rd place. (Therefore putting WP in 3rd place) . They have been clawing their way back to relevance for a while now just like bb. The difference however is that they have many Lumia devices which hit almost every price point.
Their ecosystem (WP) looks stronger at this point with more apps all of which are native. They have big brother Microsoft throwing money at them every quarter. They have in my opinion a truly different OS which is refreshing after looking at iOS and android (BB10 is truly different too in my opinion). They build great hardware which can take a lot of beating.
They innovate a lot with hardware. Pure view, Pure Motion HD, are just a couple of hardware advancements. I don't think we will see such hardware innovation from BlackBerry in near future.
Their mini ecosystem is really really strong within the WP ecosystem. 'Here' services, Nokia music and tons of exclusive apps make them attractive.
However the very very very important difference between the two is execution. Because of the experience I've had with both Nokia Lumia (920) and BB10 (currently using Z10), it seems like with every announcement BlackBerry makes I doubt if it will actually deliver and also if it will deliver up to the expectation. With Nokia we don't have to worry much. They deliver and that too at a rapid pace with no broken promises as far as Lumia line is concerned.
Now for what Blackberry does better
1. HUB - far superior to anything WP has
2. BBM - not going to be available to WP upon cross platform release
3. Gestures - some like them, some dont. I love them.
4. Side loading - there is absolutely NOTHING on Nokia Lumia or WP in general to satisfy my inner geek. Side loading on BB gives me hope and excitement and not to forget some amount of freedom.
However, everything that BB does better in the list above is not even close to being a deal maker or breaker for an average user today. I love BB but sadly I see Nokia out performing BB in terms of innovation and device sales for the near future. Would love to hear everyone else's opinions of this matter. :)

Nokia is just better in camera and not entirely just in low light pics....
And I've been a WP user since 6.1 to 7 and 8, it was complicated at first but now WP has the modern UI but sadly with no notification... Even the thing that MC originated which is the live tiles blackberry ruled it hard, even multitasking is weird in WP, but for the 3rd party apps, they got nothing they don't really have native apps like instagram, they have 3rd party services that might be removed like instance... But for blackberry, most of the developers mention BB10 first and not WP in order of priority meaning BB is already in the 3rd place and not WP
