I think were a strong enough community that we can get past this.....If not that really speaks lowly of our character. Just ignore the forum its that simple. I doubt it will really even get used much.

what a bunch of babies.... are you so insecure on your OS that you have to bash anything else accepted here??? i never owned a iPhone neither i am a fanboy but the negativity here is childish, if you dont like it then dont post or read here,simple as that.

the mods added it for the growth of the site so deal with it

I agree 100%.

I have three Sprint TouchPro's that I activated on Verizon & I absolutely LOVE them, but I love my 16 gig ipod touch also (I use it tethered to the TP with WMWifirouter).

I gotta say if I could figure out how to activate an iphone on Verizon service I would probably own one of them too......

the best way to convert someone is to welcome them into your fold with open arms... think about it...

Well...I'll say this.
Maybe when Iphone owners become more educated about WinMo from these forums and they find out how much more they can do with a PPC they might tell Apple to shove it!
I think that when people become more educated about a subject, whatever it is, they are less likely to be willing to abide by restrictions like those that are forced on Apple Customers/Users.
Maybe they will convert from the Dark Side.
Like Yoda said..."The Dark Side is quicker...more seductive."

Just my two cents.

I'll repeat something I said in another thread, as it certainly pertains here:

Is a computer that runs Windows a PC? What if you re-format and install Linux on that same machine? Is it no longer a PC? Just asking.

Well two can play the Pete & Repeat game!

I think this is a good move for the site-- in terms of Web OS and Android, since they're designed to be very open and flexible for developers to experiment with. Multiple devices with a very very diverse environment is a great thing.

I do NOT feel the iPhone, however, fits this mentality. The whole platform is designed to be BY APPLE FOR APPLE, and any vendor that retains the rights to actively ban and block applications they don't happen to like (not to mention so actively restricts the means of acquiring apps) goes against the entire philosophy of a site like this... especially since non-iStore apps require jailbreaking the phone which Apple classifies as a violation of their terms. Violating the terms of Apple's agreements so blatantly would bring their wrath upon this site AND would violate this site's standing policies of condoning legal activities.

I can sit here and praise the device all sorts of ways, but gussy it up however I want, what matters is having this subforum opens the doors to all sorts of problems and conflicts that we'd rather not have.

Heck you might start seeing some advantages and different sides to the Iphone instead of the stereotype little spoiled emo kid image that we place with it.

are there really anyone else who owns the phone?????

JUST KIDDING!! I couldn't resist. haha.

I agree, who cares.
It can lead to more donations,
I mean if the people have the money to waste on their iphones,
then they should have the money to donate to PPCGeeks.
Again, couldn't resist.


But overall I say change is good,
and it's whatever.
