In hardware and apps.....well, most of the apps I want are free on Android and paid on iPhone and not available on BlackBerry, I think BlackBerry wins the app cost. Cases for a device, iPhone wins. Total invested time, equal between all 3. My want for all 3, equal as well. That's why I'm looking more for why others have chosen it and why they chose it over the competition.

That's because there aren't any apps on BBOS to buy. Everything these days is iOS or Android.
I read another post of yours about BB10 being able to compete. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see if it's the death knell or not for RIM. BB has a
lot of negative press to overcome. Part of my job at work is to go through orientation with new RN students who come through my department for rotations. One guy had a BB and the rest of us had iPhones and one student had an Android. I heard more than once about why do people still use BB with their outdated OS and their lack of apps. Even the guy that had the BB was riding it out until his contract was over and would "probably" be getting the iPhone5 or whatever it'll be called. It's that attitude that RIM has got to overcome
before they can make BB10 profitable. Most people see a BB and they think of the old Pearl and Curve models. I was burned by a string of bad Curves as well as being swept up in the Storm. A fifteen second commercial showing some woman in a skirt talking about getting 3000 emails a day won't help your image.
But to answer your question, I chose iOS because it suited
my needs. The app library on iOS is amazing and no, I do not have "fart" apps on my phone. I have a few games, but I also have several apps I use at work every day. At first, I didn't want to jailbreak my iPhone. I was happy with stock, but now I jailbroke it and I can make my iPhone mine, just as I could by installing themes on my BBs.
I also live in tornado country. When I'm hiding in my closet to keep from reenacting that scene in the Wizard of Oz when the Wicked Witch flies past Dorothy's window, I need something to keep me informed. I have both NOAA radio, RadarScope and LiveStream installed on my phone. One of the local TV stations uses LiveStream to stream weather information on their channel there. If I'm in the closet with my dog and cats, I can still keep track of the storm one of two ways if the power goes out or if I lose my DirecTV service. That's important to me. Very important to me. An LED light and a keyboard don't come close to matching what I need out of a phone.
In other words with my long and rambling post, you should stick with what device suits your needs, whether it be a BB, an Android or an iPhone. I chose iPhone. You pick what you want to pick. You have to live with your phone choice. We don't.
