Now I absolutely abhor the iPhone, but one of my friends didn't even know how to reset her iPhone until about 5 months after she first got it, when it froze for the first time. The iPhone is much simpler in structure, but it is a testament to it's stability. Many of my friends with BBs also rarely reset their phones. Many people have different experiences with WM, depending on their level of customization and programs installed, but I am willing to bet that the majority of power users on this forum have significant stability problems with WM. But like I said, I unfortunately deal with these issues on the tradeoff of customization, but I just wish it were possible to have it both ways. I can see how the average consumer would be turned off to using WM due to it's flakiness.
HTC and WM6.5 has significantly improved 'finger-friendliness' but it's nowhere near the ease of use that a multitouch screen offers. I find myself constantly having to use my nail to pinpoint things on the screen if I'm too lazy to pull out the stylus.

I think as far as stability goes, the customizations, etc could be a reason for the issues. Lack of customization = stability (not saying this is true, just saying this could eb a reason for the stability of BB and iPhone)
