Apple stock just hit another new high. It is up 17% since the iPhone became available in spite of this thread.
Heck, I guess we should continue and drive the stock up another 50%.

Surur, why is it so hard for you to understand that for some people, the iPhone fits their needs perfectly? I am on my third week with mine and I really enjoy it. Its not perfect, but for my needs its the best phone on the market. I got the iPhone for what it does so well, not for what it doesn't do. For example, on some days I commute several hours a day. I use the web browser alot on the iPhone and find nothing even close to it on any other phone.

Hey, I never said it doesn't suite the needs of a lot of people. I would contest that it suits your needs perfectly however. I would think that would be nearly impossible.

In fact, my post is only 2 lines long. That other guy's post is rather interesting however.
Wasn't the real issue the hype and RDF associated with the iPhone (and the resulting reality), not that the iPhone is fine for a lot of people?
Wasnt it HTC that said they were going to "Change the world" with a big June 5th announcement. This turned out to be the yawn inspiring (atleast for me) Touch. Apple is in business to make money. Are you really blaming them for trying to hype their product?
I have no info on your HTC comment, so I can't repsond (maybe someone who track HTC more than I can).
Blame them for hyping their product....hmm...hyping and marketing, I see as two different (but related things.)
I have said many times that I don't begrudge Apple there profits, marketing,etc....they exist to provide shareholder value, which they are doing.
I do take issues with RDF statements which they make, only because I like a little more honesty in my marketing. But hey, that's the world we live in.
I think my, and many people issue, is the incessant fanboys who said the jPhone was the second coming, even in the face of some issues.
Heck, I own a ton of Apple stuff, so I am funding their growth. But they does not mean I am an apple-sheeple.
So there is no blame on them marketing and making money. They are not putting a gun to my head and say "buy this".
And it needed to be posted in its entirety ?
Maybe not perfectly, but probably more than any other phone. Unless you think you know my needs more than I do.
No I dont, but I abhor hyperbole, especially when associated with an over-hyped device such as the iPhone. There is no need for you to contribute even further to it. Thats what's Apple's marketing force is for.

So now your telling me what I can and should post about? Why dont we change the name of these forums to "Surur Forums". Here, you can set the rules on what we are aloud to post about, and what opinions we must have.
Think of it as a suggestion.

Chat is not blocked at a lot of businesses. Just because you company blocks it, it doesn't matter?
Maybe you company should block TC forum access, as you waste a lot of company time and resources here.
And the deli comparison, that was just plain retarded.

Is it the fact that I actually like my iPhone alot that you have a problem with? Are people only allowed to post here if they have negative opinions?
Posting and trolling are not the same thing.
Calm down, stop being so hostile. I was merely suggesting "suites me well" vs "suites me perfectly". You are being very defensive over such a small change.

I currently carry 2 phones (both WM). One is for work and the other for personal use. I'm considering getting an iPhone since I'll still keep at least one WM phone that will have the functionallity I need. I know it's overpriced but I really like the iPhone's sleek look and browser. Jeez, if only the iPhone had WM guts it would be a no-brainer. What do you guys think?
