i wanna know why are you bashing on apple.

if it wasnt for apple, people wouldnt have a sweet music store(itunes)

if it wasnt for apple, people were forced to use windows.

if it wasnt for apple, there would be no touch screen phone till 2011.

if it wasnt for apple, there would be no angrybirds.

can someone reply to me in this thread on why do you hate apple/iphone?

For me, iPhone is a nice phone, but boring. Besides, there is absolutely nothing cool about a phone that is loved by grandmothers and housewives, nothing at all. Still, it's a nice device :)

On the N900, I can remove or replace any system components, or modify them as I like. (There are plenty of mods and stuff on this forum, too.)

No, it wasn't.

Because they sell their bloatware for high prices without any actual feature. All their stuff is expensive, yet they're not very practical.

Not true.
There are plenty of other music stores.

Not true.
There are plenty of other OSes, eg. Linux distros and all.

Not true.
There were touchscreen phones back in 2004... And they didn't have anything to do with Apple.

Not true.
Apple didn't create Angry Birds.

I don't hate them.
I just actually prefer to have real features and not bloatware.

same boat as you sir.

i like apple. specially for a snack. ummm nomnom.

Now that IS art. :D
Reminds me of the Sangaku.

Well, I've just been trawling the iPhone4 forums http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs44/f/20...ehpleuvoir.gif, and I can't find a single post from a rival smartphone owner baiting an argument by openly trashing the iPhone while claiming their phone is tons better like iPhone owners have done here.

Even the Nokia Facebook page gets invaded with comments like "I tink iphone4 iz betta".

Too ... uncomputerlike. I prefer mine more machine-like. Good form, nice finish and a heck of a function packed inside. And yes, I use the water extensions, the hot plug bays, etc.

There is such a thing as too simple, too hidden and too slick. I can afford any case I want, and Lian Li lost the race with twice the price.

And frankly, how much sleeker can you make a phone before it looks like a used soap or a rectal instrument? All iPhones I handled almost slipped from my hand. I have dry hands and soft skin. And Apple isn't the only one taking this minimalistic design to the edge of the possible.

All these new "sleek" phones annoy me. Strip the logo and you have a faceless drone. Shiny, smooth, faceless. Like a game of pool with 16 white balls.

Nokia is in on this too. Less(Streak) and less(N8) and less(Vibrant) personality. Long gone are the days where Nokia made a curved phone.

Get ready for the all-new [company here] phone! Now in [silver, black], in the new and exciting [bar] form factor! Features touchscreen! Hardware keys for volume! And a camera!

Step right up, folks, pick a phone, pay for it and when you turn it on you find out who made it! Choose from out sleek 2 colors available!

I hate it. And guess who's spearheading that movement. That is reason alone to hate them, they are ruining design. Their success in financial terms is forcing the hand of every insecure almost-fired CEO out there to clone them.

Alas, it's not Apple I hate, it's some of their followers. Smug li oh, look, Futurama's on.

If I'm not mistaken.. that's because they get deleted...

So true..so true. A thread about a great app will take weeks to have over a hundred posts. A stupid thread like this..one day.

Mostly because factually incorrect posts like the one that started this aren't deleted or locked outright, for fear of idiots screaming "censorship!"

So we get this.
