The iPhone is a piece of ****, and so is your face.

That article was great, and pretty much expresses my opinions of the iPhone as well:

Lots -o- Hype over shiny doo-dad.

I applaud his webpage.
 
I need to ask him if he's tried attaching a servo to those dumbo ear flaps that phone has for keyboards.

Maybe that nokia can achieve self powered flight too.

Better yet, maybe he can throw one off a cliff and test the theory for us.

...A good article, but not entirely accurate IMO

99.9%+ of the population have never driven faster than 200mph, does that mean the Honda Civic is better than a Bentley Conti. Flying Spur?

Where are the inaccuracies?

So you don't counter any of his valid arguments, just discount the Nokia on looks?

It's just a bit of fun, but he is right and the Nokia e90 is even better IMO.

I need to counter his arguments about as much as a President of the US needs to respond to Howard Stern.

What you have is a scared little boy who needs to make himself feel better by using his choice in cell phone as a proxy for his intelligence being accepted by the world.

Fantastic, but save it for the therapy sessions, I'm not really interested.

Psh, you're obviously not very familiar with Maddox. Go read the rest of his site. No issues, he vents for the entertainment of his readers.

You're right of course you don't need to counter them, but that doesn't mean he's not right so you also can't.

The fact is the iPhone does what it does very well, it just doesn't do as much as other phones, different tools for entertainment or business/productivity.

Being able to counter them implies that I somehow said that his phone isn't as good as the iPhone or that my phone beats his or some other idiotic notion of egoism through consumerism that I'm not interested in participating in.

I like my iPhone, it does everything I need it to do in a way I like.

He likes his Nokia -- fine. I don't really care. I'm more interested in why people feel the need to equate their and others intelligence/self worth with the tech they own. His own knowledge of what his phone can do for him is obviously not sufficient or he wouldn't have bothered to make that online manifesto.

Grats to him, he feels more intelligent for having a batter phone. Maybe he could put that down on his resume too.
 
Is it just me or does the keyboard look extremely hard to use on that Nokia.
One half left and one half right, with a screen in between, it just don't look very intuitive and very hard to handle to me.
 
Yep, it does. But I'm sure some people prefer it.

Is there a US carrier that even offers this phone?

Much better than the majority of phones I've tried.

Nokia don't tie you up with any provider, yay pro-choice😀
 
Sobe said:
Fine, that's obvious but wouldn't you have to have an existing plan on an existing phone already to do that?

What's more obvious: That you need to put a SIM card in your phone or that to put a SIM card in your phone you need a SIM card😕

The question is if you have an unlocked phone, wouldn't you need to buy a plan from, say, Verizon and get a phone from them and then swap out the sim into the unlocked E70?

That was my point.

I'm flattered that I have my own personal macforums stalker but what's the point?

I joined up to discuss the phone I purchased, and I've learned quite a bit in the process.

I don't feel superior to people with other phones. Cool for them if they like what they have.

You could just buy a SIM w/ pre paid service from T-Mobile or AT&T. Then use whatever phone you want. You don't have to buy a handset(phone) from them. It is actually a better deal for them to not sell phones, just sell services (remember subsidies).

Especially loved his comments about Nokia's marketing team, and that he sometimes remotely reboots his sever... just because he CAN!

I agree, it was funny. Pitiful these haters, but funny. I had the Nokia E62, and the web browser was the ONLY great thing about it. It's still not as good as the iPhone's browser.
