I like Coke and 7-Up (owned by Pepsi). I hate the fact that most restaurants have either Coke and Sprite (owned by Coke) or Pepsi and 7-Up. :mad:

7up is not owned by pepsi. It's owned by Dr. Pepper/Snapple group. Pepsi distributes it in certain regions. :P
 
I envy apple. You cannot argue their success.

I found it hilarious watching cnet reviews praising the all mighty iPhone when features like picture messaging, cut and paste, landscape keyboard..were rolling in one, by one. They're playing their customers like Sony with the Walkman. You know damn well they're perfectly capable of adding in a tremendous amount of features, but if people are gonna buy a new phone every year, several off contract.. By all means. And you can be as smug as you want, in the end it's a phone.

When you're smug about your iphone, you're saving me the time and emotional investment of getting to know you. And that's not saying I won't be friends with an iPhone user my wife has one perfect for her, i'm saying that smug aptitude is indicative of a flawed personality. If i'm off on my judgement..sometimes I am..Meh, whatever there are 3 billion more people out there, i'm bound to find someone I can get along with.
 
My best friend's told me today his wife just got an iPhone (Verizon)... ugh. I'm gonna hang out with them and his wife will try to rub in how she has the ultimate phone when in reality it's inferior just like her iPad she got at Xmas time... :rolleyes:
 
With the rumours that Apple may launch a new iPhone with a bigger (physical screen size) display, isn't there a chance that the 'nano' will just become based around the existing size?

I mean, touchscreens don't work so good when you go too small (for text entry accuracy), so we'll probably get a newer, slimmer, iPhone with 4+ inch screen and the current design becomes the nano, or a 'classic' model.

I'm only guessing based on ergonomics, but given that Apple doesn't release stuff that is badly designed or hard to use (one thing, I'd have to admit that some cheap OEM manufacturer wouldn't hesitate to do), it seems like common sense.

The problem Apple has is that no matter how many crappy Android devices are released, there are an increasing number of excellent ones to suit different tastes and needs. We have a range of screen sizes, rugged and durable models, a gaming model, ones with keyboards and so on. Literally something for everyone.

Apple has one (maybe two) models a year and that's about it. I also think that the biggest threat to Apple will be when people simply start to get bored of Apple and fancy a change. Sure, Android will have that same problem in the future, but it happens to everyone at some point.

Oh, I'm not a Coke fanboy, I just can't stand Pepsi! Wild Cherry Pepsi is ok, I prefer Cherry Coke. But if I'm in an establishment that only serves Pepsi, and they don't have Dr. Pepper, then Wild Cherry Pepsi it is for me.

Oh helllllll no I want me some damn MT DEW RIGHT NOW!



(This proceeding was a joke and is to be used for those purposes)
 
I'm a busy adult with more things to worry about than if somebody prefers iPhone or Android. In my opinion, it's just silly and juvenile to judge somebody based off what phone they use. I prefer Android, my friends prefer iPhone. In the end there is MUCH more to somebody than what they use to make phone calls.
 
I wanted an iPhone first, but when I did my reasearch, I chose android.
My argument with iphone fanboy started before i even got my android. I was explaining to my friend, who wanted a suggestion on which phone she should get, that was when the iphone fanboy jumped in and started saying ios is better, though she isn't familiar with the android. till this day the feud is going :P
I try to ignore it, but it is an interesting talk

Hmm... I'm not sure, I think Apple does well because of it's limited selection of choice, they sell, for want of a better word 'premium' products, exclusive if you may. that's how they get their business, that and Jobs' PHENOMENAL presentation skills and their marketing

I think you are responding to the wrong post... I was talking about Steve Jobs handling of his employees and how that will cause problems post Steve Jobs...

That has nothing to do with their product lineup.

To me it matters why someone picks their phone. If someone picks an iPhone because they want a smartphone for dummies type device then fine. If they pick it because they've done research and honestly think iOS is better then fine. If they pick it because "zomg, it's apple and that's cool" then it drives me crazy. I work with a guy who honestly argues that the fact that I have Flash on my phone is a negative. Really? WTF?

Flash has been known to eat babies, cause blindness and make your phone smell like a fish market dumpster in July. And, if you enter '666' in the dialer while watching Flash content, your soul will become the property of your carrier.

My wife has an iPhone, the only thing she brags about is the high scores she gets in skee ball.

Get over it man.
 
Honestly, the only reason why I never went iPhone is because I was in the middle of a verizon contract when it came out. Some of the bread vendors I worked with (I'm a soda guy) with their vast disposable income bought them, and they were complaining about dropping calls, slow internet..etc. So I endured with my little crackberry till the storm came out..and..PLECH delt with that thing till the Droid came about, and I still got it, it's a nice little phone. I downclocked it and trimmed a bunch of features off of it..and I get easily 2 days per charge with pretty regular use. I only turn up the processor when i'm browsing the interwebs when i'm going poo.

I just wish apple would stop milking us, quit being so insecure and just blow us..US the guys on the other side away with a phone..rather than some cute little smart phone that's missing a few things here and there, and can't even replace the battery in.

Slug, shame on you for not listing which motorcycle you prefer!!!

There's a reason for that.... I don't. My first-ever ride was pillion on a Virago across Glasgow in the evening rush hour in the rain and I nearly soiled myself more than once! A year or two later I was staying with friends who were in a H-D club and managed to break a toe on a partly-disassembled Fat Boy while drunkenly searching for the toilet during the night. The following year I gave myself a nasty concussion falling off another Harley (parked up!) while laughing at a mate who had fallen into an inspection pit as he was taking photos of the assembled machines prior to a ride-out..... me and motorcycles don't get along well. :(
 
I don't do motorcycles or any vehicles with fewer than 3 wheels. Rollerblades are OK because I got 8 wheels. :D
 
I don't think there's anything wrong with the Apple or the iPhone. People will buy what they like period. I visit quite a few Android forums and there is just as much dissention between Android users as there is between Apple vs Android. I'm amazed at how many Android users bash others because they have an Evo or a Droid X, or because they're on Verizon and not T-Mobile. It's pretty sad actually.
The point is, to each his/her own and leave it at that. There are a lot more things in this life to concern yourself with than whether or not you use Apple/PC, the iPhone/Android, plasma/lcd, etc.
Personally I like my Android, but I have used/owned a number of Apple products and have been completely satisfied with them.
Just my 2 cents.
 
Totally with you, but I DID find the Samsung on the whole to be the better phone out of brands..... as far as the iPhone? When AT&T held control, we were the other 3% in the Country who were NOT covered by AT&T, lol. I live in Eastern Oregon. Now it has become available with Verizon???? I dunno, I left Verizon because of billing practices... so I guess I'll never own one, oh well. Just like Playzwithfire. I go with what I like and what works for me. It certainly doesn't bother me who has what phone as long as I'm happy with the one I got, and NO ONE will influence me.
