Phones › Re: Blackberry 10.3.1 Vs Android 5.0 Vs Ios 8.1 Vs WP 8.1 by ATInsider: 12:17pm On Apr 01, 2015
Here is my Professional Evaluation on the current Mobile OS's. I've used them ALL.

BlackBerry 10.3.1 - 90/100 - Built from the ground up, and powered by QNX, the only mobile OS that has a RTOS. Very rarely needs Restarting and does not slow down. Pure Gesture Based, Hub, Flow, Intuitiveness, Productivity, Virtual Keyboard (Best in the Industry by far) and feels Natural when using. Very easy to learn and navigate throughout the entire OS. Menu's seem to be in the right place at the right time. Native BB10 apps are by far the best. Not Android Ports, though they are somewhat catching on, as Android's are ported, BB10 allows for more added features you will not find on the Android OS. - Current BlackBerry Z30 - Main Daily Driver

Android 5.0 - 65/100 - Aged feel to the touch, though has been improved somewhat. Still laggy OS though. Back & Home buttons? Are somewhat irritating to use and end up being Counter Intuitive for my liking. Huge App store but prone to Malware Infections. Menu's seem to have a lot of useless functions that are in the wrong place and should be separated from the most common functions. Installing too many apps bogs down the entire OS, that forces you to restart. Android in general is not the best designed OS for performance, functionality and productivity. Current - Samsung Galaxy S5 - Was given to me, so its a Backup

iOS 8.1 - 50/100 - Again with the most useless function, the Home Button. I find it very annoying and Counter Intuitive. The OS is not as Intuitive as I was led to believe. The only thing going for iOS is simply a strong Ecosystem and Integration with other Apple related products. I sold mine a week in, just could not stand this thing. - Current - iPhone 5c - SOLD

WP 8.1 - 45/100 (Perhaps WP 10 will increase this rating) - Do not like the UI at all. On screen plastered ICONs not my style. But still gave it a good try. I really tried to like it, but just could not. Though I admire MS for changing the style from its competitors. The Swiping Gestures don't feel natural to me. The one major plus, accessing pretty much anything you would on on your PC. Overall, Just not a fan of the actual OS. - Current - Lumina 520 - Returned It.

There you have it.
