I'm also getting tired of people saying the iPhone is a piece of shit! Honestly its the most overrated thing since teenage sex but it is by far not a piece of shit at all. You want to talk about not functional phones look at every gloriated dumbphone like the Env series.

agreed... 100 percent
 
Agreed, the iphone isn't a bad phone at all. Folks who can't reason beyong the apple logo on the other hand are terrible.
 
iPhone has great stuff but it is Apple that lost me completely. No apps that compete with the OS functions such as firefox?

Imagine if Microsoft came up with that rule. There wouldn't even be an iPhone because the web would be IE-only and nobody would be able to use a Mac for the internet.

I've run into a lot of fanboys in my day for lots of different things. I may even be guilty of being one myself to a degree. There's just something about rabid Apple fanboism that's so much worse than anything else I've experienced though. I just want to kick them in the teeth whenever they open their smug mouths.

Harsh? Perhaps. Deserved? Likely.

The difference between the apple fanboys and android fanboys is that the android fanboys complain about every little thing that Android doesn't have because they want Android to be the ultimate kick@$$ OS that will rule the world while the Apple fanboys defend every problem and try to pass them off as features.

Wow couldn't have said it better. Heres pretty much a few questions I ask iPhone fanboys and there responses;

Me:"So can your phone run apps in the background?"
Fanboy: "No and I dont care it doesnt matter why would that ever be Important? I can do everything android can and more!"
Me: "So are you dissapointed with AT&T's coverage see as verizons beats them in that for sure?"
Fanboy: "AT&T has more coverage than verizon, verizon is just spread propoganda"
Me: "Er um..ok have fun roaming in bum**** arkansaw's *insert shitty regional name* PCS on 1 bar of GPRS while I have full bars of EVDO rev a."
Fanboy; "Whats GPRS?"


Now I am no verizon or android fanboy, hell I think verizon is a bunch of communist bastards that charge the shit out of you for services that should be free/a quarter of the price but its a FACT not an arguable opioion that verizons CDMA2000 network even excluding there roaming agreements is far more widespread than AT&T's GSM network. And I love it when they pull the "who cares if verizon has EVDO in bum**** arkansaw" because that is just accepting the fact that AT&T will never have 3G there. And as for android, I'm no fanboy for them either, to me at least there OS is very rough on the edges, is sorta ugly and needs to be improved on but even with all those negatives it CAN do more than iPhone OS.

Yeah does it really take an expert to know the 3 main data connection of your $700 handset? These are the same people who are convinced 3G is faster than wifi and bitch about there 2 hour battery life though....

I am so glad you noticed that phenomenon!!That's what been trying to say or argue that if it was the other around the iphone would have been crucified.The last 3 years since the iphone came out the only changed they did to the iphones were adding a letter S and basically the same iphone.Yet the iphone fanboys faithfully and obediently shelved out more money to get the S without a word of protest even though it was the same phone. :confused: Can you get drunk on apple juice? just curious! :confused:

I had a argument with an iphone fanboy two weeks ago on the forums.My questions were, the Droid can do multi-tasking and a lot more...
He can back with an answer that almost rocked me off my chair.His smart answers were apple don't see the needs for multi-tasking and blah,blah.....:confused:
