I dont care. It doesnt bother me and i think calling every new phone that comes out an iPhone killer is stupid.

Agreed. Which is why I can't stand and tech reviews about phones anymore. Every touch screen phone that come out now will automatically be held against the iPhone and touted as an iPhone killer, then when it doesn't have all the glitter and gold it gets bashed to death.
Forget that the device may do things the iPhone can't do, it doesn't have iTunes and 100,000 social networking apps to download so it's garbage.
Well im not saying they are garbage either. No matter what Blackberry or anybody comes out with, it just isnt going to kill the iPhone. I like Blackberry's myself. They are good phones but no phone is going to kill the iPhone. It will always be around because there is just too much you can do with it for it to go away.
Only Apple can kill the iPhone.
True, but remember that the only thing going for the iPhone is the UI. All other hardware equal, including AT&T's poor 3G, the iPhone wins on Ui alone.
Once you take the hardware for what it's worth, the iPhone wins here and there, and looses as well.
There are many Mac/Mobile Me/iTunes/iPod users that haven't found the perfect phone yet.
Why would they even consider it?
This is MAC rumors, not RIM rumors, or Samsung rumors.
Mac = Apple
Mac = iPhone
I think if you want to discuss other phones or "handsets", go to other sites...... key: google, yahoo

Hence your logic states we should discontinue the Community Forums too.
That and about a quarter of the other forums and threads on the site.
I didn't realize it was about creating a seperate forum section. I thought it just meant allowing posts about other phones for comparative discussion. I don't think an entire section is needed. But I also think allowing posts is a good thing. It's easy enough to merge them as they come up or lock the repetitive ones.
Now if it's too big a strain on the moderators then that's a different conversation altogether.

I think it will be a strain on everyone after a while. I doubt much non-iPhone talk comes through here, but when it does I know it gets swamped with fanboys that don't want to hear someone else's opinion as to why they like brand X, and not the iPhone.
Its sad to see a fellow New Orleanian get b&. However, there are rules we must abide for. Just because we are free of doing x thing doesn't make it right, now does it?
Edit - I will not respond to other comments or quotes about this post I made.
When the Pre is released, I have a feeling there are going to be a TON of threads about how to sync it with Mobile Me, iCal, Address Book, etc.
I say just take the hit, and make the "competitors" forum now.

How about if you dont want to read about other phones, you just dont open the thread?
Because it doesn't make sense to have a bunch of threads about other handsets in the iPhone forum unless they're somehow related.
