Everything I've said is both true and accurate.
"With your unrealistic expectations of both computing hardware and interpersonal communication, it's a wonder you don't run for office."
Where does anyone expect a statement like that to get them?
"circle jerk" is not nearly as damning as a directed insult or hateful personal speculation.
"biggest dick" is exactly that and I said it to call out what was amongst some of the first responses to my thread. Before even my second entry in this thread.
Stop being so creative and having a - yes - circle jerk about it. I'm seeing here the most typical kind of internet bullying. Most of the hecklers here fit the stereotype perfectly.
I challenge everyone here to prove that I was rude first, you'll find that I wasn't. I simply stated the truth in a way none of you appear capable of handling it.
You know what they say about people who fling accusations as wildly as most people here have. The most profound I've seen so far is the pedantic armchair psychology. Especially when we're talking about "buyer's remorse".
People here appear to have formed a xenophobic support group around it. If all of you put as much effort into admitting you're wrong as you do misconstruing what I say inventing reasons to call it all an insult, this thread would float down.
The desperation in this feeding frenzy speaks volumes.

the entire notion of your original post is comparable to visiting a McDonald's message board and stating that
"Big Macs suck because they don't come as big and juicy as they appear on the menu board..."
EDIT:
the only difference is that a big mac doesnt have a 15 day return policy.

The hecklers will say "Well then why did you buy it?!"
The answer to that is: Because I never buy something with the goal of being disappointed. The mere suggestion of that is kind of absurd. I simply have reasonable standards of responsiveness that most here don't.
I can't believe the culture of mediocrity everybody here forces on themselves.
There's a gigantic difference between doing something and doing something in a practical and useful way. This is called suitability for purpose, something the N810 by box definition and sheer price alone cannot fulfill.
Eat your mud, but don't get so upset because I don't want to eat it too. Nobody here has grounds to say I'm wrong - at all. $400 tempered by marketing says I decide the expectations, not you.

If one makes a statement in such a way that no one in the audience can understand, comprehend, or otherwise "handle", then it's highly unlikely that the error is with the audience. It is possible, but highly unlikely. More likely is that the one delivering the statement is in error.

Your continued need to exact an apology or admission of guilt from any person on this board is really amazing.

Omega I've seen plenty of helpful posts in this thread with people asking you questions about your n810's problems and trying to help you fix them. Why do you only read and reply to the "offensive" posts? And if nobody else finds their internet tablets nearly as unresponsive as yours and with any gps problems why do you insist "all n810's are defective by design"? You expect everyone here to just agree with that statement?
