Great question! I will give you a "few" examples without trying to be too wordy.
1) HUB ; one gesture to all my emails, tests, BBM, Facebook, Twitter, etc in ONE location. Also within the hub I can view each of these separably. Yes I can choose what I want and don't want in the HUB.
2) PEEK ; one gesture to quickly see ALL of my new HUB notification
3) FLOW ; all the applications is the NEW BlackBerry 10 phone are integrated. I do not have to go out of one app that refers to another app to open the second app. A very nice experience and very efficient to use!
4) REMEMBER ; I can mark any picture, email, text, etc as a reminder WHILE using it! I set a date and an notification reminds me about it.
5) ACTIVE FRAMES ; absolutely love this feature! When you have a APP opened, you simply swipe it up and it becomes a large ICON that is the APP running, but still active. An example is the calendar, while its an active frame, it shows me next events on my calender. The same is true with Reminder, weather, etc. This is my home screen always!
6) PHONE/SEARCH/CAMERA ; every screen has these a quick launch to these 3 main APPS.
7) BALANCE ; I have had many work phones, this is an amazing ability!! It allows you to use ONE phone for WORK and HOME by separating them through BALANCE. That include calender, emails, etc. Many people either have 2 phones or one phone with WORK and PERSONAL stuff mixed together. This allows your WORK IT department to lock-down the work stuff but they can't touch your personal or HOME stuff!!! Can't say enough about this excellent feature.
8) EFFICIENCY ; if you compare many things you do on a daily basis between phones, the BlackBerry 10 phones are more efficient at doing many of them! All anyone has to do is simply compare for themselves. It take less gestures and keystrokes to accomplish the same task on a BB10 phone, PERIOD!
9) QNX ; The new BB10 phones are built on QNX core software. QNX software powers millions of things such as cars, banks, etc. Think about what the future integration holds for the BB10 phones with many other QNX products!! Also its a TRUE multitasking core operating system anther reason it stands out for many reasons compared to the "other" phones.

Need any other reasons? There are many reasons a user would find the NEW BlackBerry 10 phones are the best on the market today. The issue is public poor perception about BlackBerry resulting is them simply not trying the phone and seeing for themselves?

RE: Unfortunate downward spiral

2) same as 1
3) Nice
4) Nice
6) All modern OS's have that.
7) Android has that via multiple logins.
8) Highly debatable. Depends on your usage.
