I remember an Apple fanboy trying to convince me his phone was better as it had angry birds seasons. another fanboy trying to convince me that the N900 couldn't run flash and the iphone could....for them ignorance is bliss

Like I said in my previous post its all about the user and its expectations.

I don't think being a fanboy actually has to do something wether a phone is good or not.
The only thing is that you judge the phone with a Halo-effect, meaning the perception of one trait (i.e. a characteristic of a person or object) is influenced by the perception of another trait (or several traits) of that person or object.

The result is that the view of the user is distorted by the effect.
