I hate to be the one to say it but Spec wise, Android is leap and bound ahead of both iOS and Blackberry. This is the year for Android, not only specs but OS is the most innovative out there!!

Yes, why the comparison only (or primarily) with the iPhone 5? Is there an implication that the iPhone 5 / iOS6 is way ahead of the Samsung Galaxy SIII / Android OS, or is there an implication that the Samsung Galaxy SIII is way ahead of everything else? A 3-way comparison would be more useful.

You forgot to mention than plenty of Android apps will be compatible with the new Blackberry OS.
Plus, BB still has the reputation to be very safe and to well secure your messages and mails on their own servers (remember recent riots in England or north africa where governments were not able to control the communication between BB owners).

Apart from being a touchscreen phone, the Z10 looks nothing like an iPhone. Honestly, did you run out of things to say?
What's interesting to me about the Z10 and Q10 are how much effort BlackBerry is exerting to please their base. They've paid a lot of attention to the keyboards, for instance, whether onscreen or physical. And the messaging features are strong as well.
I think that if you were holding onto an older Blackberry handset, this or the Q10 would be an obvious and attractive upgrade.

When considering an iPhone, Blackberry, or Android phone keep in mind Apple's One-On-One option at the time of purchase. To my knowledge, no other company offers this degree of customer support and/or instruction.

I do find this article to be staunchly biased against the Z10. "but the Z10 is 18 percent thicker." (that's a 1-ish mm difference, or 0.05".) vs "The Z10 continues to look good on paper. Its battery is higher-capacity than the iPhone's. " followed by some not-so-optimistic caution against the battery life of the BB. I get that you don't want to get the hype up too high, but isn't pointing out that the BB will most likely be worse, even when it is better, a bit much?
And I know we're not getting into the software side of things since this is a strictly hardware review, but BB really shines in the software. Any veterans would tell you that once you go BBM, you don't go back, period. Sure, other chat clients are cute..but BBM is just so much better. What about the new BB10's voice recognition, which proves to be about 10% faster, and 30% more accurate than Siri? What about BB's unique ability to actually multitask (not only do you not have to reload the site again upon switching back to browser, your other programs can still keep running too!)
Oh, but we did talked about the amount of Apps, didn't we? Personally, I do agree--BBmarket is going to be dominated by ports early on. But I think that is wayyyyy better than Apple's 50thousand clones of everything. There are like 2000 versions/updates/clones of Angry Bird/Temple Run alone, not counting a gazillion skins for the OS, all of which counts as App. Let's admit it--both Apple Store and Google Play are flooded with crap and clones too. In terms of actual quality apps, I think all three (plus windows store) will end up with very similar amount right off the gate--which may number in high hundreds. Everything else? Let's face it--crap ware.
@phissith: It would be quite interesting to see, but I guess we don't have a de facto Android phone to compare to. But more importantly, while I'm not sure how RIM is proceeding with Z10, BBs are usually at a lower price point than actual premium phones of the same class. The Torch only costs the same as Galaxy (Torch was about $70 cheaper than Galaxy in my country, actually) back when it was released, even though it was RIM's premium phone. And we know that Galaxy is on the value side of the Android lineup So for a fair comparison, I would reckon that it will have to be compared to the 2nd class Android phones.

The world has changed in the last 12 months: Apple ain't cool anymore... Google Play has close to the quantity and quality of apps as iTunes... Android phones make up the bulk of smartphones sold.... Android Jelly Bean is as good (arguably better) as iOS and Samsung SIII beats off the iP5 in performance.
I await your real comparison, against the SIII.

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering why the Blackberry is being compared to a model of phone which does not dominate the market.

BB10 clearly offers the fastest browser.Just having the fastest browser isn't everything, of course, BB10 also has the best HTML5 support -- beating out every desktop browser.

Of course the Blackberry is the better choice..relly why are they comparing them at all....I had an iphone and it was a completely disappointment, not only that I have to pay for all the apps and the music that i use and the most stupid thing was that I actually couldn't make a normal conversation with it..couldn't hear a thing nor the people that I'm talking..
