hahah.. I kid, I kid..

I suddenly felt the need for a 'slap with a wet haddock' option next to 'thanks'.

Actually, that's quite on topic. Many of the unconstructive 'whiny' threads have the same effect on me. Please note - I am not refering to constructive, useful criticism. ;)

The most interesting thing in this thread so far for me is conversation between Texrat and RevdKathy. :)

Then according to a couple of posters here I am doing something very, very wrong... :D

I disagree. There usually is a very good reason why people whine.
You cannot expect all great ideas to come from nice and constructive comments.

The fact that many of my tech savvy workmates still think iPhone/Android is a better device than the N900 is a great example.
Ooh, it's too fat, it's too heavy, music player sucks, video playback is choppy, video recording is choppy, everything is in landscape mode, email app is too simple etc etc.

It's all basic things people complain about the most.

Well, I'm only speaking from personal experience of course. I've seen that people who can effect improvements tend to tune out whiners because they offer little substance and a lot of noise. Therein lies the difference with and advantage of constructive criticism.

Re: Stop negativity- Most of u here are temporary

okay well you are all right, that was some rather sexist remarks. I aplogize profusely. And you're somewhat right, I'm actually just whining about whining. which is why as I said I'm gonna kick back from posting for a while.

I appreciate the coherent and thought invoking remarks. There are some very good people on these forums!

The best answer for chronic complainers is no answer at all... This thread won't bring any useful results, maybe just getting more complainers to join their army...

Freedom of speech, buddy!! No need for a "peace and love" speech, but just ignore what doesn't matter to you.

Well said! This is just as large of a problem (if not larger) than 'whining'.

One man's 'whining' could be another man's 'passionately caring about something that does not act as advertised or bringing it to the attention of the community'

Attacking anyone who says anything negative about a device that both of you own is about as counter-productive as you can get..
