I can't take a conversation serious if you're that unwilling to do any research beyond anytime you were born. Our conversation will be very limited and only suits you.

And I... am as egocentric as you. And that is what is wrong with folks. Everybody is all about "me, me, me" when honestly it serves nobody.

I do get what you're saying; but the whole Cult of Mac and Micro$oft days are preceded by a bunch of that stuff and sets the pace for the current stuff going on. I don't subscribe to either despite being a Mac user/owner, a MCSE and Exchange admin and a Linux/AIX admin.

Guess I want something that benefits more than just myself. And nobody is delivering that right now.

And Apple is far from perfect. I still can recreate a few issues from OS X 10 initial release that have yet to be fixed.

I won't argue with you. You are far more mature..but I'm 20 lol. I don't care about the past. So you get my point though? I hate the fact that they say that Apple products are perfect..

I managed to get this thread off topic.. although the topic wasn't so great to begin with. Keep bashing the iphone or N900..

P.S. A linux and a MS admin. I wish to become that one day (still studying).

hmmm, silence...

Possibly a better way to have argued against the iphone would have been to talk about fully fledged desktop app's, possibly the resistive screen and hardware keyboard of the n900.

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.
There are people who don't want to be able to use Flash no matter what? That seems like a dumb point of view to me. I think there are many more people who want to disable flash until they actually need it for some reason.

Do you have any stats to backup your opposition? I stated my opinion.

Bluetooth is slower than wi-fi. I'm quite sure you know that by now.

And if you wish to have some serious discussion with me, or any adult; I'd suggest that the knee-jerk reaction as you've just shown be avoided. Simply put, talk to me as an adult, I will do so with you. No need for some over the top antics of "If you don't like it, then remove it!!!!!!1" type of stuff. I won't even take you serious by the way you posted. Not worth my time.

In fact, regarding "remove bluetooth", I never said it. I'll wait for you to share with me where I said remove bluetooth.

I will not use a PAN protocol to transport half a gig of data; I'd save that for something better suited, like wi-fi.

People need to learn how to discuss instead of attacking. You might get something out of it in return other than the vitriol you pour into your verbiage.

JB iBlueNova for any file transfer


Lots of appstore apps especially different web browsers you can download.

Too many from appstore


I don't see this as a point, only as a trial run of the service.


There are lots from the App store, I am using Opera myself.


JB PDAnet


Lots of Apps from the store.


JB You would cry if you saw mine. Its set up like Windows with folders and stuff. See here (mine is better):

http://www.vidoemo.com/yvideo.php?i=...-touch-iphone=


Iphone is pretty one touch but yeah I think you can set up home screen functionslike "intelliscreen" but it locked up my iphone once.


Yeah I wonder how long the n900 will be able to.


Of course you can


Well you can using iFILE (browses your root iphone directory for file management)


JB Media players like mplayer... remember that for the internet tablets?


Subtitles for iPhone steams subtitles from opensubtitle (appstore) there are others too.

The iphone is creating a new generation of iphone formatted porn. Nearly all sites have iphone viewing options. So I hear...:D
imperiallight
You are missing the point, the N900 does all that from scratch, you donīt have to buy or install appstore software to make it work.

And by the way Opera Mini its not a proper browser, the render is made on Opera Servers, so forget about Scripts and good stuff. App store rules wonīt allow the iphone to render the webpage itself, has to be made outside (all you see is a image with hyperlinks...)

Oh, I'm definitely not arguing with you, just discussing. And I agree... the whole concept that was put forth by the "Cult of Mac" that all Mac products are "perfect" can be annoying if you pay attention to that mess.

But logic dictates that nothing is perfect.

You seem very intelligent and very capable. I wish you luck on your endeavors and I'm quite sure you will get there very soon.

Take care.

Different needs, different products. That's the summation of this entire thread in four words.
yeah your right. but at least there is a going thread that prospective iphone buyers can use to see if it is for them or not. i wish a threat like this was out when i bought my n900. i still would have bought it though lol but at least i would have felt better about doing it. when you research the companies web sites they only tell you all the goodies. its tough to find all this kinda stuff. now people can google search till this popps up and maybe have a little more perspective n whats "best for them"these small inconveniences that may be a big deal to other people. i think this thread rocks so long as people dont get mean about it.
