Well the easiest way to repel those eagerly annoying people (trolls?) is just to plainly lie ... say Nokia's display has more pixels and the battery life is double the iPhone's, say you can download p0rn and that it has a better AppStore but you're too cheap to waste money on it. Don't let them interfere when youre talking and end your speech with, well anyways they're both really good phones but I prefer mine just a little better.

... they cannot respond to this (unless they call your bluff, so remember PokerFace!)

I have one major 'thing' against apple. Basically its the fact that the price is totally unfair. Apple products, as you may know, are manufactured by Foxconn. And recently there have been a series of suicides regarding poor working conditions etc..

So therefore, my point is, with Apple you buy a product with a high price tag, but most of the money goes into buying fuel for Steve Jobs' Merc SL 55 AMG (i must admit, that is one nice car :p) instead of paying the workers fair wages.

Foxconn makes something for pretty much every brand out there. Foxconn also makes many parts used in Nokia phones.

iPhone SUCKS!

At least, let's say it's for noobs.

iPhone is not even comparable to N900.

Just show them Easy Debian, and how LXDE looks. That should be enough.

But don't let it bother you... Seriously, who gives a **** what others think??

Also, some reasons over here: http://www.adelamlj.com/index.php?op...n900&Itemid=71

I didn't know that Foxconn and Nokia had a trade agreement.. My mistake...

You know... what kills me is that people care what others say/do about their gadgets that they also had to work for, which is a representation of their choice... and people argue that.

It's their money, it's your time... walk away. I do.

yeah. that's exactly what i also do. when they ask me why i don't buy one and it's not like i can't afford one, i just say that i'm not too much into high tech gadgets and my n900 was just a gift. lol

that shuts them up all the time.

That usually quiets the ones who're looking to troll me.
For the ones who don't shut up, I log into their wifi, rdp into their Windows machines and reboot. :p

honestly those people just doesn't realize that they think theyre getting more. but in fact, they're just paying more everytime.

and on top of that, theyre kissing apple's *** while it takes away their money.

and some, actually use their iphones as something they draw self esteem from. how pathetic.
