8ball, don't worry about appearing judgmental -- tell us what you really think

Anyway, FWIW some of us just enjoy the ease of a mac, and freedom from worrying about many of the problems that PCs present. I also love the styling (and I'm sure you'd be the last person to criticize love of style!).

PCs make you think, though. Also, I've never had a problem with any PC running any operating system. I've even tried OSX, and that confused the hell out of me.


I also like being able to right click. lol

Gotta agree with 8ball. For ease of use, simplicity and accessibility in society; PC is the one. Mac is a bit too...for beginners.

Please don't burn!

As for topic...iPhone.

Don't be an iDiot; don't buy an iPhone.
lol....I never said I use my iPhone to fetch perreir water and prepare my Gucci suits.

I use a PC...hate macs. I thought we were talkin phones?!?! I bought my iPhone because of it's functionality for what I PERSONALLY do. I LOVE it. This poor, not so hip, but studly guy wouldn't know how to "look" rich if I wanted to.

If I cared what others thought....especially regarding my cellular device....I'd have a mohawk and wear Michael Jackson, RIP, jackets (read: zippers everywhere with badges proving levels of 'I don't have to be mainstream so I wear this to show how tough and NOT manstream I am)

My iPhone is awesome....I guess if you're looking for great service, clear calling and thousands of apps for when your lazy client is late to your appointment, or a scientific calculator for school @ 1/8 of normal cost of one. Blah...I could go on forever.

Edit: let's not hijack this thread....if you feel the need to defend your style. Pm me. Lol....I'm sure it won't come to that right seeing as we don't care what others think aye boi????

Michael Jackson RIP jackets???? Those would scare even the Goths.

This morning, while putting on my Raggedy Ann stockings and my zipper badge clad jacket, I couldn't stop thinking: "Oh... how NOT maintream am I?!!!! " :P

"Mainstream" suits you well Carrrlos, I honestly can't picture you in a mohawk.

Each to her own

OK, SOOOOOOOOOOO, getting back on topic here. Anyone else have thoughts about CELLPHONES? Anyone know anything else about the droids?

haha I don't need to defend my style, but I sent you a message anyway. I really don't try to be a douche, which is why I prefer speech over text...

I don't think anybody here is a douche - they usually opt-out after the first couple of posts.

btw my daughter has the droid that opens up with the keyboard inside but she has gotten really good at using the touch screen to text which she didn't think she would be able to get used to. Now get your butt up to the Verizon store and play with some of them and then this weekend go to the Apple store at your nearest high dollar mall and play with the iphone. Me I'm going to stick with my EnV2 for at least another year while I wait to win the lottery and then I'm going to hire someone to do all of that nonsense for me while I travel to those places I named on that other thread.
