What a stupid analysis, of course 45% of customers trying out the new BlackBerry are coming from ios and Android.
Blackberry haven't got a customer base of any significance so they are obviously coming from the major customer platforms.
Besides Blackberry's new os is basically Android so will feel right at home. Give it enough time Blackberry might join the Android handset alliance

My opinion, Nexus 4 if on a budget. HTC One otherwise.
Can't comment too much on a Z10, but spec wise it's a year old tech so is expensive for what it is.
Nexus 4 is pure Android so is a little boring until you play around customising it, I do love mine, but am tempted to sell and get the HTC One.
Xperia Z is also a good choice, same Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC found in the Nexus 4, but with a better screen and IP57 rating.
I'm not impressed with the Galaxy S4. Too big for me, plus pentile screen and plasticy. Octa chip has 8 cores, but only uses 4 at a time, supposed to help save power. 1.6GHz A15 quad for fast processing, 1.2GHz A7 quad when not doing much. They have moved on to PowerVR GPU's though, the same one in fact as the iPhone 5 so is very good. Also uses Gorilla glass 3. No doubt loads of people will love it, but it's not the phone for me.

I bought a Nexus4 a month or so ago, I've tried really hard to get on with it but truth be told, I'm still happier with my iPhone 4 to be honest.
So now I'm lumbered with trying to sell the Nexus 4 (eBay *shudders*)

No faults or anything Adrian. Years of being married I think have my mind set so that I feel more comfortable with being told how to organise my life/phone which Apple takes care of for me 
I have tried to embrace the 'freedom' of Android, but for me personally, I get nothing out of it. The phone still has the protective film over the front and the back
I do love the live wallpapers on the Nexus (I'm guessing all android phones can do this though). I loaded a 3D planets wallpaper that looks great. Oh and the Nexus is speedy, it does show up the age of my iPhone 4 when loading apps etc.

Well, I've just read THIS about the new Z10.
For those who can't be ar$ed to click, one of the virtues of the 'berry over its competitors was that of great data compression. Why is this important? Well, for business users, it's very important for obvious reasons (data costs etc).
Seems that Blackberry have decided not to use the same data-compression.
It does make you think.......
Shame, as the phone itself seems to be getting good reviews.
