Reader Poll: iPhone, Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone?
The article behind the poll
The week before, the site published a comparison that set out the good and bad points of each mobile platform. It judged them on four things: usability, user interface, customization and raw power. The poll was a follow-up to see where the majority of readers stood.
Why ask readers
The editorial team made the point that Android is not right for everyone. Different phones work better for different kinds of people, and the site wanted to learn which platform its audience actually preferred.
The four platforms
| Platform | Compared on |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Usability, UI, customization, power |
| Android | Usability, UI, customization, power |
| BlackBerry | Usability, UI, customization, power |
| Windows Phone | Usability, UI, customization, power |
Status today
The poll is closed and its results were not kept in the text. Several of these platforms are no longer actively developed, so this page is a snapshot of the mobile market of its time.
