its crazy that people would hate someone because they use a certain phone...

i dont like touchscreen phones, so ive got a blackberry bold.. i like the keyboard...

Yea, I guess apple giving out free phone covers did the trick on brain washing their customers!

Thats one OS that someone should be shot for comming up with.

*ninja edit to fix typo*

Yea the Iphone has a fairly simplistic UI. Just a few of the reasons why I dont like it, its too simple for advanced users and I like to tweak with a lot of stuff on my htc, so it doesnt fly for me. The UI isnt appealing at all, maybe for someone who has never picked up a smart phone before and is their first time using it, but not for me. Sure Iphones always look sleak and futuristic for the majority of the population because they like to show off their new shiny TOY with a good camera and high resolution screen. It does the job to look like a pretty boy I guess. Thats why there are more things made for the Iphone products, because people love pretty looking things, its all about making money. Who cares if its a crappy product or not, if it sells, they make money.


Aside from that, this thread makes me laugh! I dont care what you have to say, I like using my HTC because it suits my usages and I can make it do what I want. You like the Iphone because it makes your life easier, sure thats a perfectly sound reason.


I would never switch to a Iphone though because I hate typing on touch screens. Im a old school feedback kind of guy.

I loved my BB Tour. Thats why I got the Droid Pro. Looks/feels like my BB (a little different but not too bad to get used to) and has the touch screen.

Like I showed in my last post, you can find anecdotal evidence to support anyone's facts (err, I mean opinions?), so arguing over which one is better is a lost cause as it makes all parties involved look like jackasses.
Yeah, the worst thing ever is an argument between the two, and more-so when approached by the ROID user. When it's around me, it usually goes on for a few minutes and then I stand up and am like: HEY!! You like your phone, right? "yeah" and you like yours right? "uhh yeah" OKAY THEN BOTH OF YOU STFU ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's happened at least 4 times where the DROID user is trying to tell the iPhone user all the amazing things they can do with their phone and the iPhone user is like "but.. I don't care, and my phone does what I want it to" and then the argument turns to how they are dumb because they don't care or something along those lines.

OMG it's a phone! Who cares!! Want to talk about my shoes??? I wear Doc Martens! COME AT ME BRO!

Hahahahaha.... Whooooo boy.

Classic. One of my favorite movies of all times. Probably the only bit of pride I have is that my boss and his boss refer to me as "the cleaner" based on how I get it done. Currently in NYC getting it done. BTW no issues with AT&T out here haha... Hmm.

Hating on someone because of anything like that is stupid. Incidentally, I am using my wife's old iPhone because my brand new Blackberry 9700 Bold is such a worthless ****ing unusable piece of **** it makes me want to stab my ****ing eyes out with a ****ing iphone case. Incidentally my 8300 or whatever "Curve" was problem free and great, but I gave that to my sister when I "upgraded" to the Bold.

BTW - what is a "bumper" that the iPhone comes with? I have yet to meet a person who as A SINGLE COMPLAINT about their personal iPhone, however lots of people who have NEVER USED ONE complain about them a lot.

Also, I hated touch-screen phones but for some reason I am not bothered by the iPhone except that I am in NYC now and it's hard to use with gloves, and when I try to use it with my nose, I walk into stuff.

The camera was a zillion times better and more usable on my Berry, and as an avid "must have a hardware keyboard" person for years, I am not bothered at all by the touch screen. I like the iPhone I am using for this reason: it has not yet failed me. Also, I think I am really pretty and I like shiny stuff. Yeah!

My Pilotis are better than your Doc Martins because I like to drive and not do stuff Doc Martins are suited for!
