that tired meme aint funny no more, and double posting aint gonna ensure double laughs.

but you're right, those who have bias will always delude themselves into a conviction of 'rightness'.

everyone is their own best judge, at the end of the day.

but they can hold off with the ironic 'don't be elitist!' posts, and stay the fuck out if all they have to do is spew shit from their rancid arseholes.

Mannn, if there's one thing I hate about Apple () it's the fact they brand everything with an "i" before it. What's it stand for anyway? Intelligent? Ironic?

Apple declared the 'i' in iMac to stand for "Internet"; it also represented the product's focus as a personal device ('i' for "individual").^[3]

elitist arse? excuse me, you're the one shitting on a perfectly-acceptable iphone 4 thread with your 'apple buyers are morons', 'this gadget will only sell to dumbasses', and 'other smartphones are far superior imo' type statements. and im being elitist? im merely speaking up for the right for interested consumers to discuss and read about the upcoming iphone. you're the one making it a huge bandwagon-deal, yet again. read my last tl;dr, you silly little no-life cunt.

oh and just to debunk your dumb, ill-founded little bandwagon-geek myths:

- the iphone does not have ridiculous marketing schemes. it is open in the UK and most other markets. america is their corporate problem, not an apple problem specifically. let AT&T sort out their problems and stop judging a gadget that will be launched worldwide on one shitty, anecdotal piece of 'evidence'.

- if you read the leaked slides/images, you can clearly see that there are 'new' things about the iphone. at least over its predecessor. the last iphone 3GS is pretty old now, as far as the phone-tech market goes. these are welcome upgrades and additions. and it isn't for you to say that there is nothing new or desirable. that estimation is for the consumer. and the iphone sales statistics will surely prove you wrong and give you something to get a geek-rage over, yet again.

- no the iphone is not marketed that way. your perception of the apple marketing 'style' is wildly skewed and misshaped by your clear bias and bandwagon-fanboyism. talking about the fact the very first iphone didnt have MMS messaging doesn't have anything to do with the last 3-4 iphones. earlier telephone brands have all gone through their own stages of development. do you see people denouncing the new android phones or the new blackberry's because their original models sucked dick? no. it's just you. and why, what mentality leads to this? anti-apple bandwagonism, blind raging, lack of facts etc. it's simple for everyone else to see: your mentality is ridiculous.

- people don't buy iphones because of steve jobs. i can assure you, 95% of consumers that walk into mobile phone shops or online stores have not heard of steve jobs. they do not watch the apple keynotes. they do not attend the apple conventions. most consumers want a phone that just works. the iphone does just that with style, effectivity and a great design aesthetic to suit. there is no 'cult of steve jobs' in the real-world: it is an entirely virtual phenomenon. do not let the NICHE area of online following misinform you; don't be stupid. again, 95% of people do not subscribe to this 'raging apple hipster' demographic that you imagine. and it is imagined, conveniently enough for your so-called 'arguments'. half of the apple community questioned - as any well-informed and aware consumer should and indeed does - the apple ipad. there is no frenzied blind support. you are making shit up, and again, failing to provide substantiated evidence. which is what minty, and now i too, ask for.

so deliver, or:

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET THE FUCK OUT.

yours sincerely,

Yo, floppy.. have you ever actually..


you know..


used an iPhone, besides the two minutes you spend looking at it in a shop?



I've played around with my friends HTC this and that (there are like a million different kinds.. ), and they seemed pretty cool. Not for me, but pretty cool none the less.

A bit shocked that you of all people don't have a smartphone.

What are you implying?

hehe

I don't have one because I signed on to a two year contract just before smart phones started popping up everywhere (for the consumer market, rather than business) I suppose.
