    [deleted post]Everyone in the world (except Apple users) hates Apple.....WTF????

    Again like I said to another poster here, you and many others seem to be living in some crazy little world where Apple users are the enemy and non Apple users are the good guys fighting a cause. I have to clearly say this. The iPhone is a MOBILE PHONE. Nothing more. Just a PHONE. Its down to the person if they like the iPhone and if they want to buy it. If they dont then fair enough, but to anyone who comes here to hate the iPhone is crazy!!!!

    And it seems that you think ALL iPhone users are rude and disrespectful. Again its your imagination. Yes there will be some disrectful iPhone users, but have you not heard the phrase "dont tar with the same brush"???? I think you will find that yours and many others obsession with hating Apple is becoming crazy! Almost to a point where its a mental health issue!

    I like debate and will have a nice healthy debate with anyone. Constructive critism is also another good thing. Hatred is something I despise!

        Bee, 14 May 2010people hate isheep not bcoz of the phone...but bcoz of the ... moreI've been coming to these forums way before the iPhone was released and there was always anger from users!

        Now onto what you just said. In your own little world, there is a group of people called "iSheep" as you like to call them and when you go around forums bashing users by calling them iSheep, you will get retaliation.

        Now for a reality check. Everyone has an opinion on what they feel is the best. IMO the iPhone is the best. IYO, maybe the Nokia N97 is the best??? Thats the beauty of debate. But when the debate turns hateful, you have to question that person's mental health.

          The anti iPhone hatred is incredible! Ok firstly lets look into this in perspective. Some of you are getting abusive and aggressive over a MOBILE PHONE! Thats right, reality check, a MOBILE PHONE!!!!! Now secondly, why does Apple and the iPhone bother a lot of you iPhone haters? If Apple stole money from you without your consent, robbed you in the street, shot you in the back, whatever, then I can understand the hatred. But to hate the iPhone and to get abusive and swear at iPhone users, that clearly means you need help! How sad is your life that your main goal seems to be targetting Apple and its users.

          I will once again stress. The hatred must stem from pure jealousy. There is no other explanation. Its human nature to feel angry when you want something but cant have it. People can also start to slate the object of their hatred to make themselves feel good and to justify themselves.

          Now back onto the iPhone. Its a great phone end of! In my opinion brands like HTC and Nokia cannot accept the fact that Apple is the more popular choice of handset than their handsets of the same sector. And its so obvious that because a lot of you iPhone haters have a Nokia or a HTC and cannot accept this is the case, thats why it touches your sensitive nerve!

          Apple havent been proven guilty of anything, you iPhone haters need to get serious help, this anger is bad for your health!!!

                    Do you think apple make more money by copying other patents rather than creating their own patents? If convicted . I hope apple pay them the loss of customers and reputation

                                    every smartphones have their respective advantages, we can not judge which technology is more revolutionary or advanced. because technology is not always the same but different, not passive and is always evolving as time goes by. if you have the assumption that the apple is better than htc or the opposite, maybe when nokia 888 have been realized, all of you will be stunned and amazed to see it. and I can assure you that you'll start by saying that the nokia technology is better than apple, htc and others just because they see the nokia 888. but think forward a logical, one day they will create a mobile device with a full monochrome materials such as sony ericsson x5 capastive pureness with touchscreen technology, multitouch and 3D, maybe someday they will create a device with a full concept of 3D holograms in films such as Ironman 2 which is made by tony strak.
                                    You did not need to vilify the extent to which technology they create, determine which one is far superior and started to insult them but just enjoy what they create for us. htc and apple is a company that once an innovator and technology we cought to admire them, as well as other brands such as Nokia, Samsung, LG, and others.
                                    human nature is like the worst of it, can only comment on what other people have made and can only enjoy it, but could not make it, need a sense of admiration for his discovery that they make to ensure our lives much better.
                                    grow up people, you're not a child that always arguing each other.

                                      Why dont you guys just shut up... If you dont like iphone or apple products why are you here? offcourse waiting for the news that apple is like this apple is like that... One thing for sure is clear to me, you just want attention. Why not just all iphone haters go to their respective "PSYCHIATRIST" and there you will find JEALOUSY and HATRED deeply implanted in your heads... Iphone users buy iphone because they liked it that much... thats the simplest answer with a person with a COMMON SENSE. Now, If you really hate apple that much then why dont you find websites that contains anti apple product forums and or build your own website and bash there on how you hate apple that much... Its just that some commentors on this forum thinks like a child and very immature. Iphone is just a THING its a WANT not a NECESSITY and sometimes iphone haters treat it as a necessity thats why they hate it toooooo much...
