The basic issue here is fairness and not "talking out of your bum."

I am a mostly happy TP owner but that doesn't mean I need to talk smack about the iPhone. I'm sure I'd love the iPhone if I used one, and know people who do, but I just don't want to be an evil AT&T customer (now THEY are worth bashing!) and get raped on my monthly plan, so I make do with this phone, and am really impressed.

I understand the need for the thread though because it's true that unfortunately there are a lot of unthinking Apple fanbois who simply won't accept that Apple is best always or that the competition could ever be better in any way.

But my advice is, speaking softly, don't be guilty of the same thing that the opposition is doing. There's no need to call Apple "crap," the iPhone a "joke" etc. Especially if you haven't been fair and tried one yet. (That's what those knee-jerk iPhone fans are doing in some of their TP reviews--so don't copy them.)
