They are productivity smart phones.People who like cool apps AND text/write emails a lot choose Blackberry'sThere are "better" products for apps such as the iPhone and Androids, but they don't offer the same *productivity as Blackberry's do.*By productivity, I mean being able to do things fast with a physical key board that works well (unlike the Droid's physical key board which is crap); nobody is able to accomplish as much on a touchscreen phone as one is able to accomplish on a physical qwerty keyboard.
