Re: Now I have seen proof that the iphone is for stupid people

Meh. This kind of stuff still goes on here? Concentrate on making the N900 better first.

Maybe if there was a 'N900 for dummies' there wouldn't be so may unhappy owners...

It's funny that all those books exist, and amazing that there are so many readers for them.

Re: Now I have seen proof that the iphone is for stupid people

actually the XYZ for dummies is a highly successful series even if it sounds a bit insulting... :)

@ysss
I think many people may feel offended by your "joke" or whatever you may call it, and I think people shouldn't deliberately post any offensive material.
and if you somehow aren't trying to offend anyone then ignore this post. thank you

Re: Now I have seen proof that the iphone is for stupid people

I have an ever stupider book in my bookshelf (It was given to me): "Visual quick start guide UNIX".

Now, why is that stupid? Well, Imagine the visuals.... Yes the visuals are screenshots of a terminal filled with text, obviously.

Its not a bad book, but its just hilarious that the information had to be adapted to this "visual" format.

Re: Now I have seen proof that the iphone is for stupid people

are you all missing the point? n900 for dummies = reality, iPhone for dummies = joke. (at least if you read apple marketing material)
