I never understood why this rivalry with iPhone, it's just another phone, nothing more. It's likefight because you use Linux and someone Windows, or you like KDE and someone Gnome...

There is nothing better or worse, but something that you feel most comfortable. I'm happy with my N900, if someone feel the same about an iPhone... whatever.

this is so grossly inaccurate or western orientated

come to Asia (especially south east asia) and you will find blackberry users are young Asian girls - i.e. entire groups of girls are all on blackberry for the msging/chat capabilities.

pda has always been a male thing -but apple were clever enough to tap into the female market and make the "gadget" female friendly--hence all the sales

My wholly emotional yet fully understandable and conclusive take on this: "Pfft."

fanboyism . . .eugh.


Apple upped the game in the phone/mid/ppc/pda arena and we have to appreiciate that because its resulting in better and better devices for the rest of us. I wouldnt own one again, but you have to admit theyre nice devices for people who just want a simple user friendly experience, the 12 o' clock flashers especially.

And the whole "[insert device you dont own] is for girls" thing is so boring, i had that said to me alot by my fellow geeks about the palm pre and it really is some backwards thinking.

tnkgrl or snubsie would tie most of us in knots with what they know, and theyre not alone.

No mention of MeeGo. Imagine that.

I don't think it is about iphone specifically, but the company behind it.

This method of marketing originated at Apple, and they maintain it to this day.
