people are usually attracted to a device(or anything) because that device has one or two features or traits that are central to the individual's wants or needs. that need or want may well be to be seen with a cool device, and the chances are, that makes up a significant portion of the iphone buyers.
because being the owner of a 'cool' device is central to their needs, the iphones faults are brushed off as being unimportant to them, and i believe them when they say they are unimportant to them. but that doesn't mean that they were unimportant before they got the iphone, it;s just that they have adjusted their needs to the device, and because such needs pale into insignificance when compared with their centra needs and wants.
in relation to what i said earlier about people adjusting to their devices rather than the other way around, before i got the viewty, the phone's browser was not one of my needs or wants. so was a touch sensitive form factor. now i find that i use the browser on the viewty more than any other feature, and this is because it has a large screen and is 3G. now, i would wish for a touch screen device, 3G/HSDPA, and a large screen on my next device. before i got the viewty, the broser was of no importance.
ergo, i have adjusted my needs to that of the phone because i want to make full use of it.

Comparing the iphone to the 5800 is like comparing a Porche to a Renault!
Yes you have full options and functionalities in a Renault for 1/4 the price of a Porche but what the hell! can you compare the beauty and the power of a Porche with a Renault???
And for the missing options ,like for cars,you can add them later like ibluetooth,swirlMMS...
I love my 5800 for the full options its giving me but I hate it because of it's playschool look !!! |

Or maybe just maybe people are not always bowled over by hordes of features most of which they will not even use. Instead they want a few key features that perform good rather than lots of features that perform average. Iphone is already suited to people, its the other manufacturers that were trying to do it backwards.

lol ......you can tell how great the iphone is by the number of people that dont even own but feel compelled to rant about it
you never see iphone user complaining about those useless SE or nokias
i used to be a massive nokia fan, hell i even picked the username, i have used nearly every highend nokia and i can say that even with the obvious flaws the iphone is in a different class to all of them, its a phone that never gets boring, nearly everyday u discover something new to play with, its no wonder that the batttery never lasts, its cus we are never off it!

You seriously think this argument can be compared to the Holocaust? It's a phone for goodness sake!
Yes. It clearly proves that millions of people can easily be wrong.
Hardly the same situation Mizzle is it? What a ridiculous thing to say. |

@Mizzle - unless I'm missing something and our fondness for the iPhone is actually enabling Apple to commit acts of genocide with our implicit consent, I think perhaps you really need to withdraw your current line of argument. The comparison doesn't work on any level whatsoever, and insults just about everybody, including the intelligence of anyone reading.
Can 10 million people be wrong? It depends entirely on the context - if you make a personal choice over which phone is right for you, and end up quite satisfied and happy with that choice, can that choice ever then be described as "wrong"? No, I don't think so. And in that context, no, 10 million other people also making the same choice and showing the same sort of levels of satisfaction can't be wrong either. It's entirely a matter of personal choice, and nobody's going to the gas chamber either way.
It's pretty deluded of anyone, in January 2009, to be trying to lecture iPhone users on which crappy little features the iPhone doesn't have. We all know, everyone knows, but we bought it anyway. We like it, anyway. We probably get far more use, and far more enjoyment out of it than you do with your "full featured" phone. That's why it's an argument that you'll never win, and will ultimately only ever have with yourself anyway (had to laugh at MWEB's attempts to get the iPhone users out of this thread, so the whingers could literally make these pointless points to each other without someone who actually used an iPhone butting in and spoiling things...)
I've had E and SE phones 2001, smartphones since 2003, my last phone was Windows Mobile powered and did literally everything the X1 does, and I used every last feature of it too, but I've never been more satisfied with a phone than I am with the iPhone, and as far as I can see there's nothing else on the market that even begins to compete.

to be honest dont u think ppl can make their own minds up as to which phone to buy... if they believe the hype let them buy an iphone...
I believed the hype and bought an iPhone... twice! but have now settled on a G1 as i like the openess of the OS and a few other things...
ppl are going to love it ppl are going to hate it but thats human nature.... some ppl love me and some ppl hate me but i accept their decision and move on. lets do the same for the iPhone and leave it to its global domination!

So true! This thread would just be none other than a rant thread of pointless posts if no-one came in here to give their user opinions on the matter, as opposed to people who have never used the device.
I really am surprised at the immaturity levels of some of the 'grown up' members on this forum. |

It's like some teenagers who are saying that the 5800 is better than the iphone because of the ''karl zeiss'' lens,while in reality the iphone is better with its 2mp and specially in low light,but what can you say? they have read ''karl zeiss'' that's all

@veg.... and think all the Karl Zeiss is is a nice piece of polished glass lol.
I have yet to find a phone from ANY maufacturer that can match the iPhones interface and reliability. And no one can argue that Apple got it right and got it right the first time and made a big impression which is unseen in the mobile phone industry. Even some manufacturers that have been in the game since the beginning cant make the same impact the iPhone did/has done.
Well done Apple and lets close this thread as its getting to be a flame topic and getting into territory (the 2nd world war and hitler) which doesnt need to be brought up in a phone forum!
