Man, I wish I could disagree so that I could prove your point! Damn!

People also fail to realise that humans make mistakes. When someone impulsively buys an N900 based on an incredibly short venture with it, they expect it to just work. Some people on this forum refuse to accept that this type of person exists.

There are different phones for different people. There is no ultimate phone (except the iPhone) and one product cannot satisfy everyone. Unfortunately, people cannot accept that when somebody gives a review of their experience with the device, it's an opinion.

I think we should implement a method of adding a prefix to posts. Some good ones could be "In my experience" or "My opinion is".
Wait, hold the presses... so if someone opens a thread titled, "N900 SUCKS DONKEY ****", you mean to tell me that it doesn't actually perform as advertised by that thread??

I think it goes without saying that personal experiences are opinionated.
