Previewing notifications: swipe up. Reveal context menu: Touch the time. Global Search: The home screen has a call, search, camera Privacy\Permissions: Application Manager -- However all platforms really suck at this and a 3rd party app is necessary. Backups: For Applications, it doesn't do it yet but if you backup using Link you can. For e-Mail (Calendar, Contacts), ActiveSync is supported. Patterns: Might be a security requirement but I agree. Design/Detail: Okay they fail hard here because settings is not alpha order, and many other things. However, navigating icon screens with that mini bar is pretty nice. Interoperability with existing services and devices: It works really well with Windows, BlackBerry link mounts a network drive over a shared wireless network. BlackBerry Blend released on 24th does Windows/Mac and will probably make it the only platform which lets you use your phone from your PC, if it is as advertised. Wearables and Health: Android is going to struggle here because of the security of it's platform with Health. BlackBerry has investments in several health companies. However, wearables they don't see to be going into. Home Automation: If it runs on Android, it runs on BlackBerry, in many cases. Free stuff/customer service: BBRY loses here but Google doesn't offer customer service. Google offers forums by dedicated people however. Tons of support: CrackBerry was a decent resource but with BB10 you have to be on your own. After all the platform was completely rebuilt. A company with a "Ship or Die" ultimatum basically. We are only at 10.2 and the amount of changes each update brings is pretty fast. I expect many of the other items you have mentioned to get added. For example, adding quick settings is new, the flashlight, easy alarm management from quick setting, multiple alarms. Items are changing after each update, features being removed, changed, added. Swipe up does what swipe down used to do and so on and so forth. Not going anywhere: Yeah you win there. Platform of services: BlackBerry had BBM Chat which was pretty good. With the BlackBerry 10, and video/voice chat it has a communications platform. The Hub is pretty awesome to centralize communications, I don't think anyone does it better, however, their notifications suck. BBM has screen share. Channels is like "twitter/facebook" pages for companies. You have Voice Control for Siri, BlackBerry Link for ITunes, Blend to run on Windows/Mac. - BlackBerry developer documentation is not as good but their entire developer platform is easy to navigate/learn/install and easy to get started. It currently has only one main version to develop for so easier to manage development cycles. This is why Android fails with it's rapid development and lack of application support across versions. The Hub is centralized communication. Runs Android applications. ActiveSync. Personal/Work Space, run your own BES server and setup your company on the personal side and yourself on the private side. Manage your kids mobile devices using your own "BES installation and for free" BlackBerry link mounts a network drive for your device over wireless connection. They have QNX which is in cars. The only platform to have their own security management application. Microsoft has ActiveSync but it isn't as robust as BES/AirWatch/Meraki. - Lack of apps, however, this is going to change slowly if adoption increases. However, Android applications work. The camera is not the best. Settings are not in alpha order. Blackberry Protect doesn't protect. Android applications are 90/10 whether they work or not. Settings are buried all over the place. Default e-Mail client and reply. Edit: Forgot BlackBerry Blend in list of positives.
