Apples and Oranges: iPhone 3G and 3GS coming to Orange UK

28 September, 2009
Who says Apples and Oranges are different? Not Apple or Orange, that's for sure as they've reached an agreement to offer the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS to Orange UK customers. Sure enough, the iPhone is...

      This can be the case with the iPhone. What the crazy fanatics don't understand is that some people just want the iPhone to make a statement, to appeal, or just use it because the UI is pretty. I have to say a majority of iPhone users wanted in the first place. What the minority of iPhone users like this yank do is claim this phone is the greatest, and parade it around because it's Apple. He and others claim it's "WAYYYY" better than any other smartphone that was and will ever be released. If that's not a longshot, then I'm no sniper ;).

      It's pretty hard to hold a conversation with the crazy iPhone users (it's easy with the sane ones) because they always end up telling you "iPhone rules all" or "10 million Apps. Apple is beszt soFTwaRE MaekR EVar!". Short-sighted comments from short-sighted people.

      Remember back in the days of Wozinak and Sculley, where they called the shots while Jobs sat in the corner. Then Jobs revolutionized their campaign, not to be a game-changing company, but a game-changing company that "knows" it's better than you. Sculley soon realized Jobs was just becoming power-hungry, and bam. Jobs was gone. Too bad his elitist ways stuck with them, through Guy Kawasaki. And then he's back to continue his campaign. Nowadays you've got slogans telling you to "think different", and still feeding you the kool-aid that EVERY computer has viruses and you'll NEVER be happy in life until you have a Mac. I don't really blame Apple for this. I think it's stupid and elitist, but hey, it's their ONLY marketing strategy. I blame the fanatics, Apple evangelists, iFans. They are truly smearing the way people look at Apple.

            I don't like the sound of this at all. Previously Orange in years gone by reformat the phones for their own software to go on and then mess them up when they release them to the general public, I know this since every mobile I've had from Orange has been faulty. I could give you a list, but it is endless. I don't think Apple would like that to happen to their own phone especially since if you unlock the phone yourself you void the warranty. Then if the phone develops a fault after the unlocking effectively you have broken the phone yourself and they will quite rightly tell you off and not bother with you.

I assume this because your posts makes absolutely no sense. But you can't type in your own language, 'cause it'd be deleted here, so I'll have to do my best to decipher you posts.

              Like I said, most people don't care if their phones have 5, 3, 2MP what have you. That's why they bought them in the first place! Because they're happy. Everyone draws their own lines, and honestly couldn't care less about anything above. Not you. You talk like you're getting a 12MP camera phone next week, but ask me: Will you really? Or are you just drinking the high megapixel kool-aid again?

              Second, I doubt you have had ANY (if ever) experience with S60T, but whatever fuels your blind ignorance, man. My semi-conducting cousin has shown me his N97 with the kinetic scrolling and it's very fast and responsive. I guess if you can't experience it, make stuff up. Keep hoping for that iPhone with 1080p recording and "better battery life". lol.

                              You're one of those guys that "saw the light" and headed over to Apple, and now anything any other company puts out that you feel isn't as good enough, you say it's old and stupid. And goo. Who would have thought my Omnia HD was made of goo? Awesome.

                              With your wallet half-way your arse up all things considered (and if you work in semiconducting) tell us, wise yank, why does Apple sit atop that perch so high?

                                can I call BS? I'm doing it anyway.

                                Apparently people who work in semi-conducting know the specs of the phone RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Just like my cousin who worked at the Samsung E&C Ltd in Brentford, who also work in semi-conducting, and knew nothing about the i8910, i9000, Galaxy Lite, Corby models.

                                So with that said, let me give you some specs on what the upcoming Omnia Blu-ray will have:

                                2Ghz CPU
                                1GB ram
                                120GB
                                read/write blu-ray format
                                OLED/XVGA 3D screen
                                20hrs battery life
                                1240p HDX video recording
                                15mp camera with SLR

                                'aint it fun to pretend?
