iPhone is pretty tightly closed up (unless you jailbreak it), but Android easily has that covered:

You must be new to the internet!

As for the topic, the iPhone shouldn't treat me like the enemy, but it does.

To be fair to Apple, HTC phones do as well though weakly, and Motorola has an entire research line (MotoMAGX) that uses SELinux and TrustZone to ensure your device is permanently crippled.

So yeah. Yeah. Boy, this thread is kinda lame, isn't it?

If I browse 10 webpages about Microsoft, 7 are bashing them about their OS being buggy, or slow, crashes etc.

If I browse 10 webpages about Apple, 0.1 is saying anything agaist their products. Apparently they're perfect. Until you use them and find out for yourself (I don't mean the Mac or iPhone crashes constantly..but perfect..no way).

Apple just makes my blood boil. Sleazy marketing and all these fan boys. Microsoft never had these fan boys. At least not where I live. I constantly feel like punching them...

You cannot be serious. I suggest doing a bit of research before 1989 - Microsoft has had fanboys that would put Linux (or any) fanboys to shame.

And I was born in 1974. So by the time you were born, I was programming for at least 3 years.

Like I said, You're New to the Internet! The fanboys have faded mostly, or been fairly defanged since they got boned back in 2000 and have had eyes staring down their back since. Prior to that, man...

Come now, you can easily find bastions of Apple hate on the internet. For cheap laughs you can go to 4chan and troll /g/!

But the truth is that Apple focuses intensely on user experience, and it pays off in spades.

Hmm..what happened before I was born doesn't really bug me..if so I would be pissed with England for involving us in WW2. Anyway I don't hate microsoft for one simple reason.

Everyone here uses Microsoft. A few users use linux. But the difference is that although they use it, they complain about the OS. With Apple everything seems perfect which bugs me. How could it be perfect? One of the greatest devices around..sure. But perfect? And arguing with Apple fan boys is like arguing with a woman. Even if you're right they will never admit it.

** Edit ** As imperial said you will never win this iPhone war. The iPhone can do a lot of things. It is superior in many aspects. You can't deny this. The only thing the N900 is really better (apart the obvious stuff like camera and browsing) is the liberty. I like that. I feel excited when I mess about with the N900. Jailbreak doesn't even come close to the liberty on N900. But this won't get mass appeal..but it certainly got mine.

So funny that people have to make this kind of threads just to ensure themself that they have a better phone. At starter, get an iPhone!

Anyway, music over bluetooth... slow. I'd kill somebody if I had to send over two CD's (ripped) over bluetooth. Try it, time it, get back to me on that one.

Half of the forum? do you have numbers/stats/surveys to back that up? I love flash. Any flash is good.

So bluetooth is slow? so i guess NO bluetooth is better? have you ever taken a picture and wanted to share it with your friends phones/pc's? oh wait bluetooth is slow so lets remove it. make sense dude. pathetic points.
