iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards

[The Poet]

My total Apple experience is limited to surfing a little on a friend's MacBook, and I have never owned any cellphone of any type. But I noticed the "Thumbs Down" rating this thread got, so looked to see the reason. For the life of me, I can't find one - unless Steve Jobs is a CA member.

All I'll say is, when an outsider like myself compares specs and price of Apple against other products, one wonders who would pay twice as much for half the product. That would make it four times better, and I find that hard to believe.

Oh, BTW, my Apple friend mentioned above now owns a PC laptop.

The Apple faithful are probably not happy that anyone would dare question the glory that is the iPhone.

In general, I enjoyed my iPhone except for a few things. The self learning dictionary is horrible. Spell a word wrong and it remembers it, there's no way to get rid of it unless you wipe out the whole phone. Real clever idea from Apple. If T-Mobile gets the iPhone with full functions (Visual Voicemail), I would consider the next one that comes out this summer.

The iPhone was the first of a phone I had been waiting forever for; touchscreen with a nice UI. For that, it was worth it, but just like Personal Computer from IBM, it wasn't the end, just the beginning. How many are using IBM desktops now? Not that they are bad, they are not.

moses, I have the nexus one and it's a great piece of hardware (htc does the best job at covering your "rugged" requirement in my opinion). The Android platform and overall googliness of this phone is a pure joy to work with and it comes with access to google voice, visual voicemail (text transcriptions and a web interface as well).

Just wanted to say that going from an iPhone to WinMo is going to be a painful user experience, with android 2.1 or better you'll be liking it. Been using winmo for 6 or 7 years I think and it just sucks for finger use, caveat being I quit at 6.5, 7 might be better. If you do end up going winmo let me know, I have a bunch of add-on apps that make it MUCH more user friendly for fingers and handsome too

You're just not cool if you own a Thinkpad/PC, Android, Blackberry, or Zune.

I don't see very many, if any, "fanboy" statements in this thread, just people explaining why they do like the iphone.

I sometimes think the PC or Palm fans are more guilty of the fanboyisms then they let on


In fact there really isn't any bashing going on from iphone users against other products, only from that side against apple
