I recall the Catholic Church was nearly split apart by an arguement about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

Just as pointless.

Now, has anyone seen the OP lately?

Subjective analogies can be so silly.
I avoid escalators and prefer the stairs. Hell, the other day the power went out in the mall and 20 people got stuck on the escalators! (tyjh)

I have an old Amiga 500 and an Atari 1040STe. I liked 'em both for a lot of different things but I always preferred my 1040STe because it was just so much better and had a faster ASIC for networking and had a hella fast DMA port in the back to plug in my old SyQuest 88 hard drive at full SCSI speeds!

Come on, you know you want to do yet ANOTHER topic change, this time to Atari vs Commodore, right?

What about Commodore 64 vs Zx Spectrum?


(I had both a C128 and a 48k Spectrum)

lol at threads like these

brainwashed by FUD ? how about brainwashed by nokia promises and whispers of OSS ?

2 sides of the same coin

get a life ppl - if ppl do not like the n900 they do not like it. If ppl like the n900 they like it. Inevitably these are 2 different consumer types anyway so why fight over a comparison between oranges and apples ? The bitterest posters are usually those who got suckered by Nokia's marketing and so bought the wrong device for their needs - OF COURSE the appropriate response there is to recommend a different device - community support is NOT going to fix the problem if customer expectations do not match device capabilities. By pretending otherwise you are just perpetuating the fanboy side of FUD.

ANd its a public forum, opinions are like *******s, everyone has one. No one side is more "right" and so there can be no "brainwashing". If you want only ONE side of the argument to be presented, then get admins to moderate every post just like they do at Apple forums. Or ban anyone who posts a negative post to get the echo chamber you want.

Chortle.. It isn't brainwashing unless masses actually believe the stuff being peddled!

Nokia is really bad at selling stuff. I get where the idea of rebranding services to Ovi comes from, but I still don't get it!

There is a difference between constructive criticism, and even complaining, and trollish behavior. Along the same lines, there is a difference between between being able to acknowledge the positive aspects of the N900, and being happy with it, and between being a fan-boy.
