Gotta sign up for this! I DESPISE the blinkered self indulged view of everyone I know with them, like that the world begins and ends with iPhones...
Fact is, they're actually quite compromised and pretty ******* expensive!
Oooh dear, nothing like a good ol' stereotypical opinion. I suppose you take the view that all muslims are all terrorists or that all Germans are nazi's.
FFS its a phone. It makes calls, it texts & may even do some other stuff.
Do you understand that some people buy stuff because they might like it. Rather than trying to be (as you put it) 'self indulged'.
Of course because I own one, I must be thinking that the world begins and ends in iphone, but then again its a business contract and oh wait...I have a nokia E71 on a personal contract.
This must mean I'm an exception to the iphone rule by your measures because I have the down right cheek to own a phone from another handset maker and like it.
Am I self indulged? Nah. Do I think I'm a poser? Nah.
Why? Because its a phone, its a solid object made of some plastic with a screen
And I aint defending the iphone either, if it was the only phone I had it would drive me crazy. Too expensive, too limiting, poor hardware specs, who the hell uses copy & paste and the fact that apple are still updating the firmware so long after first releasing it is disgraceful.
I use the iphone cos its a bloody good music video player while I'm on the train and doubles up as a decent business phone for e-mail....end of story.
