Thanks for all this info. Great to see another solid alternative option to iOS, Windows, and Android.
I have thought all along that Apple still makes the best hardware hands down. iOS is very long in the tooth though, and could be the undoing of Apple. It is so stale, I would rate it as functional only now. Live tiles are common, and Apple has yet to get that integrated. The notification system in iOS is bolt on, and not really all that useful. The lock screen is blank, and con't be customized.
Just like BB, evolution is leaving Apple behind. Unless iOS 7 is a major upgrade iOS is going to start to enter inferior territory just like BB did.
I may not buy a BB, and I by no means think these features are killer to get them out of 3rd place. I mean just look at Palm Pre to see how a great OS didn't connect enough to save it. However, I am glad we have these innovators out there to help push forward mobile OS design. In the end, we all win.
