[deleted post]I totally agree with you. And do you also notice that they like to twist things around? They would attack Apple and iphone users first, and when iphone users retaliate, they twist things around and say that iphone users are arrogant and this and that. I asked them to read the first few comments on this thread and then tell me who started the bashing. I get no reply on that question, instead, they continue saying that iphone users start the heated arguments in here. Haters really have mental issues. They're really bizzare.

But I do know exactly where iPhone stands, I exactly know who would be the ideal users and I am not against them.

      My problem is, do not degrade other sets. iPhone shines on its level and other handsets shines on their. Compare them wisely. If you try to push iPhone above on top of everything, NOT GOOD.

        Apple does what they think is good for them and their users. If you are not an iphone user, it should have nothing to do with you. So why would Apple not supporting flash matter to you? Ypu're the one disturbing your own peace, not Apple.

Chances are - pretty much like most iPhone haters - that you have only seen the phone and never used it. Outdated features? If the phone is so out of date, why is the iPhone still selling in its millions? Because it is that good!

          Having a phone with an 5mp camera, flash for both camera and internet, as well as 720p HD recording, means the phone has more specs! That doesnt mean the phone is better! And if you think it is, then thats your opinion.

              Apple first go against Adobe, Apple first go against Ellen. Apple made companies like Nokia and HTC to go against them too. They are disturbing the peace of healthy competition.

                  Iphone is an over-exposed brand while HTC is under-exposed.
                  Here (Taiwan based) HTC is known for its innovation, smart mobility. I-phone crazy is diminishing day by day. HTC in partnership with Google, Microsoft is emerging as a strong mobile brand.

                    [deleted post]Yes, man, been there done that. And I know it is useless to give them logical points. They are too blind and their Papa Jobs gives them answer to just stay on top of the world one way or another.

                    They think their OS is mighty, they think their screen is best of the best, they think their features are out of this world.

                    And I kind of agree, their devices are Out of this world, as in out of date and these iPhone lovers are out of this world too, in the same meaning.

You guys are not expressing your opinions, but rather expressing you hate and dislike towards the iphone. Oh so ok, let's look at those last couple of pages where an iphone user called names in retaliation, and let's just overlook those pages and pages of below the belt, hateful comments from nokia and htc users before that. Oh you're just the fair one to judge, aren't you?

                        Hey if you don't like Apple, then don't support Apple. No need to spread hate. You ask me what my problem is? It's hypocrite haters like you who try to sugarcoat and justify your wrong motives. And oh yes, I did read the first few comments, and like I said, the first four are your kind, haters :)

                          [deleted post]I started to jump into this anti-apple or anti-iphone type talks after getting very sick of reading comments like "iPhone is best", "copy of iPhone", "Nothing like iPhone", "Can't beat iPhone" so now you should understand why people are coming hard on you guys. We are sick of this non-sense comments and wanted you guys to know the reality of iPhone. Not all these companies are after iPhone. We know iPhone is good toy for simple users so keep it that way and we will respect. If iPhone lovers will come hard on us, we will go hard against them. Simple.

                              Apple is outdated. HTC HD2 mini is the current generation phone.
                              Japanese are truely intellegent. They innovate. Unlike other copycats.

                              HTC is known for innovation, research and development.

                                [deleted post]It is true that Nokia and HTC supporters (and many others including me) are here to celebrate. We have our reasons. We are expressing our opinion. We are free to do that, right? Right. And as far as I can see, there has been some name-calling by an Apple fan or two on previous pages. This has triggered some talk-back etc.

                                Face it, people have every right to not like Apple. I don't like Apple. I don't like its practices as a company. And yes, I am happy to see Nokia and HTC doing something about it. What I do not understand is why is it of such concern to you? I don't come to the iPhone opinions page to bash your phone, right? Right. So what's the problem, mate?

                                As for iphone users 'only answering back', re-read this thread from the start please. And read a few other discussion pages here, you might get an insight.

                                  Apple maybe doing good business and made good looking device, let face it Apple is good at designing. But Apple's designs are very limited. 3 years and they are still on 1 design.

                                  But users, or I better say iLovers should accept that their devices are basic devices. Apple did a good job making them look extra ordinary by utilizing magical words but they never made these iPhones and iPads more than that.

                                  Apple have disturb the peaceful competition in companies and into open forums like these by posing their mid-level devices extra high-end devices.

                                  Above it, Apple is harrasing people and companies. Ellen, Adobe, that Editor, The guy who found iPhone in bar, their employees and not sure how many more.

                                      You are welcome to laugh (and I did too) but I am awake from a dream in which Apple sues HTC again for using the same wires in their mobiles, (I know they don't use wires much in such devices) so HTC call in for free wire replacement and when they did they come to realize their (HTC's) sets performing better than before. Lol
