re: Why would anyone choose to own a Blackberry?

Don't know what IOS off the top of my head.
I don't like the gestures required by the device mainly. Would it have been so hard to give the phone a home button similar to the iPhone? Why am I having to swipe up, right, etc. just to complete a simple task?
Why is the charging port on the right side so that it is incredibly awkward / difficult to hold the phone and talk while it is connected to a charger?
The BB hub is annoying to me. I have an email but now I'm swiping and scrolling just to get to the email 'app.'

Swipe from top for settings. Look for "about". Will find OS version.
I like being able to keep apps open while I check mail. I also like having it all on one list instead of five different apps for emails, texts, and FB.
You do know you can customize the hub, right? I took out the calls and twitter. Was annoying
Get a charging bundle. You can just swap out batteries when one runs down.

This is exactly what BlackBerry was trying not to do. If you don't like the gestures then the OS will never sit well with you. Jumping in and out of apps using a home button was something they were trying to avoid and differentiate themselves with.
The gestures feel natural to me and when using an iPhone I hate having to click the home button to switch between apps. I've never used an Android so I can't make a fair comparison with that.
