Software

You have your choice of BlackBerry 10 software, Android with lots of Samsung features or iOS 6.1.3.  Many are calling iPhone the grandma phone because it's easy to learn.  However if you are a BlackBerry fan, you may prefer the BlackBerry z10.  If you like to do all kinds of media sharing with friends who have Samsung Galaxy phones the Samsung Galaxy S 3/4 may be your choice.

Color - Tie

BlackBerry comes in basic black.  The S3 comes in Garnet Red on AT&T only or white or Pebble Blue.  The iPhone 5 is black or white.  Since you can always get a colorful case, color isn't a big deal.  If you want something really bright, look at the Nokia Lumia 920 (will be the comparison chart that coming later).

Wi-Fi - Tie

All new smartphones come with Wi-Fi, sometimes some models get better signals than others.

Keyboard -Subjective

Typing on smartphones can be learned and never in our opinion optimal.  The new BlackBerry Z10 keyboard is supposed to be amazing therefore, if you a BlackBerry fan, its worth a try.  Keyboard use is subject, but if you have long nails or wear gloves your choices are the Samsung Galaxy S 4 or Nokia Lumia 920.

NFC

The only phone in the comparison not to offer NFC is the iPhone 5.  The feature may come in handy if you plan on paying for purchases with your phone.  Payment systems, however are not fully deployed or universally used, yet.

Camera

All the smartphones have an 8MP camera except for the 12MP Samsung Galaxy S 4 which also takes photos with the front camera at the same time.

Other Specs

The Samsung Galaxy S 4 has the fastest processor, infrared remote for TV, temperature and humidity sensors.

Since the launch of the original iPhone almost six years ago smartphones have come a long way. Now BlackBerry fans have almost the same features of its toughest competitors.

We are working on a ginormous chart that shows all the top best smartphones of the Spring which will not easily fit on webpage, therefore we will post them on Google + and Facebook first and then offer it a  PDF file.
