Lets get back to the OT here.

This is how the world works. Everyone hates something. Whether it is because of dislike, envy, disgust or fright, it makes no difference.

Football fans are constantly bashing opposing teams, and sometimes even their own team. Smartphones allow the user a measure of control, so that the user becomes attached to the device.

Therefore he will feel the need to bash competitors. Whether it is to show off his phone, or secretly envying the other phone, or simply hates it. It is completely human. This is a relatively Nokia forum. Some Android and Apple bashing is to be expected. Apple might get more bashing because it is more popular and completely locked down (which in these forums it matters a lot).

I personally don't like Apple. I am not saying they suck, and will never say that the N900 is the best device out there. It would be simply untrue. Just like the iPhone certainly is not the best device out there.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For me the N900 is by far the best device for me.
