Yup, the infamous Phone Wars. Through the various defamation and praise from many who have no idea what they are talking about, I've decided to research and write the empirical differences between the three for those looking to see which is a best fit for them.

Apple iOS
The Trendy. Apple is a super functional device that aims to be able to do all the new and cutting edge things people are into.
With the Unibody design and allure of status people who see their phone as a status symbol tend to get Apple devices. Apple does also have the most accessories and largest secure App Store out of all companies that are FULLY compatible with all other Apple devices and Products. You will be able to have an entertainment smartphone jam packed with games (single and multiplayer), movies, music, eReaders, and even functional devices like remote controls (for toys, tvs, DVRs, & computers), Wireless Presenters, astronomy tools etc. etc. etc.
Android
The Customizer. Android OS and hardware is literally designed to be "hacked" so people can change it to their own personal focuses.
Because of the processing power and memory card slots you could essentially not need to upgrade to a different phone for a longer period of time and instead evolve software and update to new OS versions yourself via Install packs.
RIM
The Business Professional. One who is concerned with Security and Productivity instead of Games.
The Lower end Processors as compared to the other Smart Phone titans is optimized for the user who wants full day usage and doesn’t need all the superfluous gaming aspects. All communications via Blackberry are far more secure; Email, Blackberry Messenger (an exclusive data based secure multi media messenger service) than the other companies as they are administered by the Canada based company directly as opposed to the Carrier. Believe it or not Blackberry cell phones are more secure than many peoples personal computers.
Simply put, each has their own lane and who their Product is made for varies. Find which one suits your needs best because when it all boils down to it, you have to use it everyday. Don’t worry about the people who boast the most about Phones they have as it equates to self worth because those people are not the best to consult with... about Anything.
