you'll want one, christmas is here, treat yourself.
maybe you can start with the mac mini,....it's equal to any mac computer, with its disadvantages too, for example : HDMI.(although other macs can use a mini display port adapter with HDMI).
use your existing mouse and keyboard, and also your monitor, or your HDTV.
make use of a bluetooth apple keyboard and apple trackpad and enjoy browsing from the couch.
done. $749

ppl are wondering why i'm mentioning computers in a cellphone device debate, well the answer is simple, i think we covered that a long time ago.
and the iphone won.
the iphone works best alongside a MAC, only ppl with MAC will know this.
so the discussion partially continues with " why PC is better than Mac " pffftt.

if you ever go Mac, you will NEVER go Bac.
why choose Mac.
http://www.apple.com/ca/macmini/why-mac.html
did you know, on any Mac, you can install Windows, and choose to either boot up on whichever one you choose, or even have both run at the same time.

BUt then there are others like aboveNice talking to someone that knows its stuff
I thought you had to pay to advertice products? 6 consecutive post about one product is no longer an opinion its advertisement
no, it's permitted because you are hyping apple products. those same critics won't say a peep because of that. . .
please, step carefully over the hypocrisy and continue posting, lol. . .
Get over yourself. You have taken this way too personally, and your arguments have devolved into mockery, insults, and sarcasm. For someone who usually makes intelligent posts, I'm surprised at how you've run all over the place with this topic. Several people have made intelligent responses to your points and tried to engage with you in debate, and you have dismissed them with derogatory language.
Step back and get some perspective. It's a popular brand of phone. That's it, that's the sum total of what this conversation is about. Not life, philosophy, or religion.

simple question: am i wrong?
was i not criticized for veering from the discussion of phones?
have any of those same critics found fault with poser's posts?
not taking it personal at all, actually--far from it. but would appreciate an honest answer to these questions. . .
btw, your allegation of personal attacks is pretty far-fetched. as a past mod/admin of other sites, i fully invite you to report any of my posts and let the mods decide if what you say is true. you've overplayed your hand, imho, and your post is a perfect example of the hyperbole i mentioned in a previous post.
a specious, ad hominem attack. . .
You are absolutely right, currently with their outdated hardware they are not ina position to even show in the radar.
According to Jon Rubinstein, they are bringing a tablet and various new phones (the hardware desperate needed) they just wont say what. The only thing he said was that they are focusing on integration of all their products for an amazing user experience Their pockets are now deep with the HP backing, just hope they don't screw their marketing campaign again.
They have IMO the best OS but no one knows about it due to the stupid job they have done marketing it. We'll see what 2011 has to offer.
It wont be easy with two awesome phones like the Nexus S and the Iphone 4 out there but I truly believe they still have the best OS; hence why I use a Pre that has a modified Kernel running at 1GHz instead of 500Mhz stock, it's like putting a 1000 engine on a 250 lol. This thing is fast, so Unless Iphone or Android or anyone else comes up with something better than Webos I will keep on using it.
Nice talking to someone that knows its stuff
Everyone else keep on going on about your Android vs Iphone fans
I watched I think it was Jon Rubinstein at the D:dive into digital event and found his interview very interesting. I am looking to see if he can elevate the product. Palm has always had crappy hardware in my opinion which made it feel cheap to the touch despite having a good capable OS. The feel of a quality product is one thing apple has capitalized on and I hope other manufacturers catch on to that as cheap plastic will always seem cheap no matter how well its OS runs.
Did you see the guy they had speaking at that conference on behalf of RIM? The guy was a complete joke and looked like he didn't know anything about the product other than the spec sheet or didn't have any way to convey RIM's future strategy to the crowd. Big mistake sending a poor speaker to a conference like that. I'm still unsure of where RIM is going after the off topic and sidestepping of questions by the guy (sorry can't remember his name at the moment).
I often get labeled and 'Apple Fanboi' because I own a lot of Apple products. Mostly I like what they started doing in the mid 90s when I bought my first Mac and have been a part of that eco system so their products fit nicely into my life. I do however love when companies inovate (which first drew me to Apple many years ago) and I love seeing other companies do well and bring out top products as we all win as consumers. Its funny how polarized people get and ironic that most of the Android guys trashing apple and the iphone and calling people 'fanbois' are in fact becoming the very thing they are against 'fanboism'. Lets all agree each device appeals to different peoples needs and desires.
I've overplayed my hand? What does that even mean in this context? Is this some sort of game where I'm supposed to keep my cards hidden?
My comments are neither specious, nor an ad hominem attack. I am simply pointing out that your arguments are all over the place, using all kinds of mockery, insults, and sarcasm to dismiss the opinions of those who disagree with you. You might also take note of the fact that I recognize you to be generally intelligent in your posts. It's a compliment, and a recognition that this seems strangely out of character for an otherwise articulate person. I simply asked you to take a step back and get some perspective on what this conversation is really all about. There is no hyperbole in my posts.
I never criticized you for discussing computers or other Apple technologies in addition to phones. I don't really care who finds faults with poser's posts. If he was making arguments worth countering, I suppose those who disagree with him should counter them. That's as honest as I can be regarding your questions.
I'm not suggesting that your posts are worthy of an infraction or violate the terms of use of the site. I'm only suggesting that you're getting really bent out of shape over this discussion and you're not even making sound arguments - just all kinds of personal comments (for example, insinuating that those who disagree with you, must live in their parents' basement).

iirc (since I can't be bothered checking back), that was directed at iridebikes. And to be fair, for all we know that could have been directed at him not because he disagrees, but because of his repeated childish insulting comments regarding "techie nerds" (which is pretty funny coming from someone who claims to have spent so much time working in IT).

More ways in which Apple is awesome?

They build the iMac, it swallows 40% of the market and creates a surge in all-in-one PC supply and demand. So as usual, Apple leads the way with innovative products and the others scramble to follow their lead!
I suspect the PC nerds will laugh at this too... "All in one PC?! That's LOLRIDICULOUS those are SO LAME!!!" /nerdgasm

actually, it was in direct reference to being told something was a "fact, son". . .which if you read my post carefully, was fully explained. it is a crass diminution and i wrote what i believed to be the possible explanation for it.
as for being all over the board. . .have you read the posts responding to me? some of them are so bizarre, and many of them demonstrate either a lack of comprehension, a failure to read, or a misunderstanding of my words. a lot of my posts are sadly repetitious because, rather than addressing issues that i bring up, they fixate on something they can take on a red herring, and fly with it.
it is the equivalent of nailing jello to a wall in the world of discourse.
introducing the element of my posts as being 'attacks', and me being offensive is definitely ad hominem, because it focuses on me, rather than addressing my ideas.
i am pointing out the hypocrisy that poser's posts revealed, simply because that is typical fanboi behaviour, which so many apparently deny they are guilty of. . .
frankly, my point of view has been moderate from the beginning, without a pure anti-apple bias, but i object to the knee-jerk authoritarian treatment that any dissent from true apple love is met with.
yes, i am sarcastic. but for that, i can only say this:
oscar wilde may have said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but at least that demonstrates a sense of humour, which imho, is sadly lacking from a lot of apple fanbois.
finally, yes this is only about a cellphone. long ago, i commented that for most users, their service provider was more significant to their overall satisfaction than the miniature computer in their hands. i leave that one (again) for the iphone zealots to ponder. . .

Yo, stop posting up novels and just tell us who sent you already..
Do you really? Because if that was the case, this thread would have ended a long time ago.
Have you considered that maybe some of the people who disagree with you aren't zealots?
I can see at least 2 (iridebikes and Poser) that really make it hard for you to prove this particular point

We're just doing what you pc nerds do all the time when it comes to bashing Apple... its great!

My point is that some people who disagree with you aren't zealots. Having 2 people who are, does nothing to prove or disprove this point. If I tell you that some cars are red, and then two black cars drive by, will you then tell me I must be wrong?
