I provided several links to reviews that evaluated the N900 phone application (I really don't know how links to reviews about the N900 in direct response to a question about it's phone application is about emotions). We then had a debate about what information was more relevant.

You then chimed in with a nonsensical remark about how a phone is like cake, a remark which was clearly meant to provoke people. You followed up with an even more provocative remark. You seem to be the troll who wants to stir up emotions while pretending that you are somehow above it all. So if you get an emotional response back, pointing out that you are a troll with nothing substantive to say, it only proves that you are capable of generating negative emotions directed toward yourself. Why you would want that only you can know.

cb474 if you read my post you will have seen it was ended with a (). You will see that the reference to the cake was not a comparison of the phone , but a comparison to the type of decision being made i.e. a purchase is not just about features functions and specifications and a need to fulfill a task, and that there might be a significant element of emotion (joy, elation, adventure,loyalty etc) involved in the decision making.

Having your cake and eat it was meant to point out the fact that emotional decisions accept a significant element of compromise, and that's OK as well.

It's a shame that you saw it as a personal attack rather than an attempt to put some lightness into the thread.
