BlackBerry 10 Delayed Until 2013

Tbone, I understand and relate to your decision on upgrading. I had a very similar experience two years ago. Having owned an older BB and like you, I wanted to stick with BB. Everything you pointed out about the OS is true and it made me think really hard about what I wanted.

I would say, wait until fall, really play around with the new WP8, iOS6 and Android phones and see which on comes closest to the features you like in BB. Im sure this isn't something you dont already know.

For me, WP has been a good choice but, I dont know how WP8 will be since they are using an OS that shares the same architecture of Windows 8. That can work in one of two ways in my opinion. Either, it will make the desktop OS more reliable or make WP8 less reliable than the current WP OS. None of them will be perfect and honestly, you may fund yourself waiting anyway because, you will most likely want to read reviews over the next few months after the release of the newer phones.
