Android Fanboys....

Android owners don't drink nasty, burned Starbucks coffee. They know how to make their own damn coffee. That's why they own Androids...

But there are 2 missing ... Windows Mobile and Nokia (Symbian) fanboys ...

Anyone can make up for that?

Windows Mobile

Turn on: Stylus

Raw Nerve: Finger

Deep fear: Windows Phone 7 Series
 
that was a good chuckle. Yes, it would have been nice to see their thoughts for a Windows Mobile user. I've spent more time with that OS than BB and droid put together (though I must say I'm REALLY enjoying my droid and hope I can stick with it for awhile)
 
Well this gave me a good laugh though I don't fit many of the stereotypes.

PS i made that Dine in hell my signature for a while XD
 
I lol'd and then clicked away from that page. Those stereotypes of android fanboys are ridiculous at best.

C'mon. A prius? :rolleyes:
 
I so much agree with you! I switched from ATT to Vzn to get the Droid, I didn't switch cause I think Vzn's network is supior, as so, so, so many think, I swtched cause I don't like how ATT screwed up Android. And the Motorola Backflip is a frinkin ****** of a device!!!
I switched cause The Droid says "With Google" on the back and doesn't have a bunch of carrier bloatware. I believe in what fits me, loyalty is for a wife not a frinkin corporation. Corporations lay people off all the time, they sure as hell aren't loyal to anybody.

Yeah, I hate Android. That's why I own a DROID. There's a basic understanding of tech and like for tech, but fanboyism is deplorable no matter what tech it is. Apple, Android, PC, Sony, Samsung... all have their own fanboys. That's what I hate. Whether I'm in one of those manufacturer's camps, I will always want them to "do more." But I'm not going to sit here, get what I get and say it's the next best thing to sliced bread. That's the fanboy delusion. Ours isn't the "best tech" there is. It has strengths, yes. But it also has weaknesses. The fanboy only sees the strengths and ignores the weakness. Why stop posting PC World links if what they say even has an ounce of truth to it? I say post on and you'll see the fanboys crop up and display their true subjectiveness.

Yeah, the Prius stereotype seems to be way off. I don't think I could go on without a supercharged V-8.

All the gas guzzling of an SUV, but without all that pesky space and utility.

I agree, I would never have a Prius. I love my supercharged v8 too. Sucks only getting eight mpgs but worth every penny when I can suprise the hell out of mustangs and camaros with a 6500lb vehicle.:D
 
Hmm, a few fit for me but not too many, and I was looking at both the Linux and Android columns. ITunes for Linux is definitely scary, haha. I think I would shrivel up and die if I had to regularly use a Segway or Prius instead of my MR2 Turbo. I don't think multitouch is really a raw nerve (or maybe I'm just "meh" about it), and a fear of a cumbersome, app-delaying review process seems more likely.

But how can buy-in 100% to a platform when their best phone has so many problems with it? You HAVE to be mad at that.

...until you see how quickly Android phones are improving (e.g., Droid Incredible, EVO 4G, etc.) compared to their competitors. The beauty of the Android platform is that there isn't really a "best" phone because there are different phones that meet different needs. If you need a hardware keyboard, an iPhone and Nexus One are both useless to you.

We have no ammo to fire at Apple fanboys if our best representative has so many issues.

Really? I mean, I usually don't bother because they're so happy with their single form factor, no hardware options, no widgets, still-behind-in-features OS, non-user-replaceable battery, iTunes garbage, hard app crashes, non-expandable storage, no camera flash, low speaker volume, magnetic compass problems, lack of carrier choice, average resolution screen, bad 3G reception, lack of buttons, missed calls while at full signal, impossible app-refund process, .... but I'm sure I could think of a thing or two that isn't perfect, if I really had to.

I'm a realist. And really, the iPhone is a seriously capable phone. Internally, it's as good or better than my phone. Yeah, it's other features aren't going to woo the spec-monger, but how do you bash a phone that literally opened the door and ushered in the current generation of smartphones?
Click to expand...

You can bash it because it has not changed. It was an amazing phone when the first one came out. Now, it's a good phone, not bad, not amazing, good. It looks like the iPhone HD Brick will finally change things up some, though, but competition is good. It even looks like they might be innovating again (at least with their hardware), so that will push other phones to be even better. Fortunately, the Android community sees a new "best" phone every 2-3 months.
 
i don't like any of the Android answers! I definitely don't listen to Dangermouse and would never even think of driving a Prius!
