Why cannot iPhone and Droid owners just get along in peace???

They are the BEST smartphones on the market right now... Both offer many many multi-media and business-orientated features.

TRUE, the Droid can actually multi-task and the screen is twice the resolution of the iPhone's and is also bigger, and oh, also Droid owners don't have to worry about apps being rejected or recalled because of selfish business practices (like Google Voice on the iPhone) BUT come on, that doesn't mean Droid people can claim the iPhone sucks and true the iPhone has 100,000+ apps but that doesn't mean the Android Marketplace is a wasteland for losers. It's growing at an alarming rate given the surging popularity of Android phones.

We should all get along. Apple OS + Google Android OS = double wins.

I haven't assaulted a Droid owner yet. iThink Verizon is to blame, their advertising has been a bit extreme and unnecessary.

The truth is, 99.9999% of the world does not care between the two, and only those that are obsess over this forum appear to actually care.

What was the point of this thread? It's not like the car companies don't ever mention one another in advertising...

That's not being your own person. You started a post just to say the iPhone OS is old and so you are going to Droid. That's stirring the pot and trying to start something.

I don't mind Verizon users haven't a decent phone, but the TV war ads are kind of obsessive. The iPhone will always sell well because it is an apple product. The data plan, however, is ridiculous.

They can't "get along" because they are competitor products. It's like asking "why don't GM and Nissan get along?"

Also, there's the obvious point about the ad campaign.

Now that's funny, when you look at all the Apple anti-windows ads over the years.

What you talking about, GM gets along with everyone. They're not "competition" to any other car maker...

That was just one of the Droid threads. Then you post all these threads about the iPhone:

Why does there have to be a new iPhone every year? It's not cool IMHO
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=811162

My cousin is scared the Droid will become popular and take away from the iPhone

I couldn't care less what phone you get. Just stop trolling the forums.

So XciteMe just curious

there are 32 post on a Droids in the Iphone section of a forum that is a Apple forum so how many would you say are the right number 50 a 100 a 1000 what is your magic number, also 5 started by you. I am also guessing that Iphone users are welcome to start numerous threads about why they feel the Iphone is better then the Droid. My God man stop trolling enjoy your Droid already honestly I am happy you love it so much. but really stop coming up with stupid threads about your precious! I could care less that you love your Droid. honestly personally when I find a better phone the the Iphone I will buy it and move on with my life, or find a forum that supports that phone. I sure as hell won't be a troll.
