I use windows at work and apple at home -- it's not even a contest as to which is better. Not even close.

Ok, that tells me nothing. What was the plan you had with T-mo and how much for how many minutes? Also, 150 minutes more a month for $10... Big deal, I've got unlimited calling, data, messaging, free long distance in the US, Canada, and Mexico (can have that in the EU as well with a phone call), and I don't have to deal with a contract at all for less then $100 a month.

I use Verizon, by the way.

I can do that with my phone. Been able to do that with my phone longer then you, by the way. Nokia has had phones with the ability to do streaming video longer then iPhones have been available.

Can do that too...

Oh wow... You sure got me there. I can't unload Apple applications to my phone. I are so sad...

Hey look! Style over substance!

Like I said, trendy tools like iPhones.

What is it with trendy assholes always trying to play the "you're just jealous" card every time someone criticizes their trendy little gadet/clothes/hairstyle/car/etc?

You must be using windows mobile. Which is one step above the palm os - the worst mobile platform ever. Hands down. Do I seem jealous?

Maybe Firefox works better than Safari does on microsoft platforms - of course this doesn't make it better.

Hey look! Style over substance!


(are you one of those beauty is on the inside type of guys that dates fat chicks?)

Are you forgetting that the iPhone has the best mobile browser on the planet? Or that it integrates with itunes which is the largest mp3 repository on earth?

Because why else would jealous aassholes come out of the blue and start trashing a product they don't even own - telling everyone how cool they are for not owning it.
If it is not jealousy, what is it? Altruism?

Do you tell someone everytime you don't like what they have? What about cars? I just bought a new car. Care to trash that too? Most of the time when I don't like a product, and I haven't made the "mistake" of buying it, I don't research the hell out of it and tell people how lame it is. I usually just move on.

What exactly is it you're trying to compensate for, because it sound less like you're trying to convince me that you're IStatus Symbol is the best phone out there and more like you're trying to convince yourself.


Ahhh yes. You got me. You've figured me out. I like superior technology because I am trying to compensate for something.

To be honest, my junk is so huge that I compensate by having a sleak, small, stylish phone. I should probably start driving a Mini Cooper too. Sorry for not being upfront about it from the beginning.

Like I said, iPhone envy (but hey, maybe the lines will let up soon and you can go get yourself one)

This used to be a perfectly decent thread about blending iPhones, but now it is overrun by the expanding tit-for-tat between Agnus and GoodK. How many more clean, family threads will be sucked into their vortex of umbrage?

Nokia N95. Can do everything your 3G can do (and several things it can't) and it was doing it last year.


GoodK wrote:You must be using windows mobile.


No... This looks like it uses something really similar to linux. In any case, it works perfectly.


GoodK wrote:Maybe Firefox works better than Safari does on microsoft platforms - of course this doesn't make it better.


No maybes about it. It DOES work better. Hell, Opera works better then Safari on a PC using either a Microsoft OS or any given Linux distro. On a PC even IE works better then than Safari.

Of course you're basing all this on you owning a Mac. So you say that Apple's browser works best on an Apple computer... Well no crap, Sherlock. Here's a clue next time you want to wave your flaccid little ePenis around, if Safari is so great and it's available for MS Windows based PCs, then why is it that only Mac nerds use it, making Safari's market penetration lower then Opera?


GoodK wrote:(are you one of those beauty is on the inside type of guys that dates fat chicks?)


No, I'm saying you're a trendy tool that thinks "Oh, well, it looks pretty so it must be good".

But it's nice to know that besides being insecure about your choice of computer and wireless communications device you also has issues with "fat chicks". Are you suffering from Aspergers?


GoodK wrote:Are you forgetting that the iPhone has the best mobile browser on the planet?


Actually it's not. The 64bit Vista set up in my laptop using Firefox is many, many, many times superior in quality, ease of use, and capability.


GoodK wrote:Or that it integrates with itunes which is the largest mp3 repository on earth?


Wow, base your argument on a service that I'd never even consider using for my iPod. by the way, SLSK has a far larger amount of music available... And I don't have to to pay for it. Even better, I don't have to “F” around with DRM or EMI. But yeah, good job on showing me what a trendy little corporate whore you really are.


GoodK wrote:Because why else would jealous aassholes come out of the blue and start trashing a product they don't even own - telling everyone how cool they are for not owning it.


Oh course it has to be because I'm a "jealous asshole" and not because I'm making fun of people for buying a device simple because it has a specific brand name on it when other manufacturers released products of as much or better capability months ago?

Idiot.


GoodK wrote: If it is not jealousy, what is it? Altruism?


No, I just like making fun of people who buy things based solely on the band name instead of important things like cost, reliability, efficiency, usefulness, etc. Nothing jelious or altruistic about it at all. I do the same thing to anyone who makes themselves a walking talking product placement.


GoodK wrote:Do you tell someone everytime you don't like what they have?


Not a matter of not liking what they have, it's about why they bought that specific thing. In your case you got an iPhone not ebcause it's the most capable phone but because it's an iPhone, i.e. you bought it simply because of the brand name. Which makes you a trendy douche.


GoodK wrote:What about cars? I just bought a new car. Care to trash that too?


Did you buy the car because it was made by a specific manufacturer or did you by it because it was the best performance at the best value in it's class? If it's the former, sure, I'll make fun of that too.


GoodK wrote:Most of the time when I don't like a product, and I haven't made the "mistake" of buying it, I don't research the hell out of it and tell people how lame it is. I usually just move on.


Now where's the fun in that?


GoodK wrote:Ahhh yes. You got me. You've figured me out. I like superior technology because I am trying to compensate for something.


Superior technology my ass. iPhone is releasing a device that does what other phones were able to do months ago. That's not superiority, that's being late to market.


GoodK wrote:To be honest, my junk is so huge that I compensate by having a sleak, small, stylish phone. I should probably start driving a Mini Cooper too. Sorry for not being upfront about it from the beginning.


Spoken like a true neddle dick.


GoodK wrote:Like I said, iPhone envy (but hey, maybe the lines will let up soon and you can go get yourself one)


Yeah... You're getting defensive about me poking fun at your consumer whoring ways is because I'm envious of your product place cum cellphone, amirite.

And on that note...

It's a P2P service, Miss Liz. You can get it here.

I don't know. Maybe because Windows sucks? But we're talking about mobile Safari, dummy, which is awesome.

Try and stay with me.


"Oh, well, it looks pretty..."


Correctomundo...

Actually, your posting is demonstrative of your own insecurity. I like my computers and my iPod touch and my iPhone. I bought the iPhone because I like it.

you also has issues with "fat chicks".


I don't " has issues " -- (are you posting from the Ozarks or something) -- I was just pointing out what may be a trend... you seem to resent the iPhone's beauty, and you've made it clear you prefer a slower, bulkier, uglier, phone, so I hypothesized that this behavior materialized in other aspects of your life. I'm sure your fat girlfriend is very nice :)
(I apologize to any fat girls out there, in no way did I mean to insult you. I was simply using a metaphor I thought our slow friend here would understand - the Iphone being Jessica Alba, the Nokia N95 being Camryn Manheim)

Are you suffering from *********?


That's not cool man. Go edit your post. There are people here who have kids with that disease, and it's not funny.

GoodK wrote:Are you forgetting that the iPhone has the best mobile browser on the planet?

Actually it's not. The 64bit Vista set up in my laptop using Firefox is many, many, many times superior in quality, ease of use, and capability.


Your laptop? LOL. Your funny. Like a cross between Coggins/Droopy and Leo Laporte.

I thought we were talking about phones, but I'm glad your interested in comparing apples to oranges. At launch Vista 64 failed, while the iPhone browser recieved standing ovations. Can you make calls with your laptop as well? Do you have a hip case for that, or do you just keep it in your pocket?

You sound like Coggins/Droopy again, except instead of raping a thesaurus you are trying to drop techno-jargon to sound smart.
But comparing Soul Seek to itunes does a good job of showing how smart you are.

Liz, you'll enjoy Soul Seek if you enjoy file sharing, long downloads, wishlists, and indy music.

wiki wrote:"Soulseek remains a source for avant-garde and underground independent music. "


I prefer simply searching the largest mp3 repository on earth for a song I enjoy, touching "Buy", and having it download directly to my phone in 10 seconds.


Oh course it has to be because I'm a "jealous asshole" and not because I'm making fun of people for buying a device simple because it has a specific brand name on it when other manufacturers released products of as much or better capability months ago?


I know. It's ok. I would be too. I did not buy a device "simple" because it had a brand name on it. I bought it simply because I knew it would be awesome. And it is. Whenever I buy an Apple product, I expect it to be awesome, because everything that I have ever bought from Apple has been awesome.

Idiot.


Idiot.

GoodK wrote: If it is not jealousy, what is it? Altruism?

No, I just like making fun of people...



I see. I suspected you had some insecurities to work out.
Here is some advice I found for you, courtesy of a Google search I used - all thanks to Safari and my 3G iPhone:

"It's important to remember that teasing says much more about the person who's doing it than it does about the person who's putting up with it."

"A lot of time kids tease when they're scared or when they don't understand what's going on or when they're just plain unhappy."



Superior technology my ass. iPhone is releasing a device that does what other phones were able to do months ago.


Actually, iPhones is the device. Apple released it. I'm not going to make fun of your ability to communicate, I understand you're probably using a PC right now.

Again, you are wrong.

What phone had a multi touch screen months ago, Droopy? Or an app store? Or itunes?

By the way, did Nokia make 300 million in the first 3 days after the launch of that ugly N95?

You may not want to spend so much time responding, I'll only be reading your posts with my Iphone after all. And I know you've got to get back to WOW.

Hahaha that was funny. Like, it didn't do anything then instantly went like 5 times it's original size when the bits came out. A bit of a waste though.
