Either you're lying or just a plain moron for that.. who turns down money because of a phone? It's obviously going to be biased towards winmo here and I get that considering its a winmo forum for the most part, but some of these replies are just hilarious.

You would think winmo doesnt have any shortcomings by reading this thread but having actually been a winmo owner for years some of us know better. Are there things the tp2 does better than the iphone, sure. Are there things the iphone does better than the tp2, plenty. I said it on another thread, I dont get why people are SOOOOOOOO sensitive when it comes to the iphone. If you dont like it, dont get it. But to assume someone owns one just because of marketing and not because they prefer it over winmo is once again, idiocy.

I have both, and both have their advantages.. moreso leaning on the iphone side for me. I guess people that like their phone to work out of the box without having to flash roms, do 50 million tweaks, change interfaces and do all kind of hacks to it just to get it to do what it should have done out of the box are all considered to be "sheep." Funny thing is, obviously those people are in the majority.. and thats something some of you in your small world need to realize.
Well said rant. I agree. I had a choice to make when my contract ended, I chose to stay with Sprint, the TP2 was free . Nothing against the Iphone, but I'm happy with WinMO, in fact I like tweaking and flashing ROMs its a nice hobby for me.

I didnt' read many but the question you should ask yourself is why did it phase you?

1. What kind of influence does this girl have over you? Is she your sister a girl your trying to date or just a stranger you striked up a conversation with?
2. Why arn't you secure enough in your decisions to stand up to them.
3. Why did she ask? Does she really care, was she insulting you, or was she just trying to start a conversation.

For all you know maybe she loved your phone you just took it wrong.

Girl: Why didn't you get an Iphone?
Guy: Im a man with particular and interesting taste.
I think the OP was trying to say that the girl believes the Iphone is the only device to be had, which says she lives in a small world of her own.
