I Don't Hate iPhone, I'm Just Pro-Touch Pro 2!

[Raivyn]

The problem is that iPhone users don't just talk about the benefits of their phone, they say how everything else is crap, and they use their useless apps as justification. And Heaven forbid you don't agree with them, because you're plain too stupid to see the light. They don't give anyone usable information to make an informed decision.

I was at a New Year's party the other day, and a couple, sitting next to each other on the sofa, was sending farting noises to each other with their new noise app. And somehow I'm supposed to believe that iPhone is better than my HTC Touch Pro 2? Based on that??

Whatever.

Yeah... Their's is better. But at least you can fart with them now.

I don't hate the iPhone. I hate the cult of iPhone users. They are smug and superior.

I rarely engage them anymore. My brothers in law (3 of them) and their girls are all iPhone users. My wife rocks my old TP and she loves it.
That's all that matters.
Yesterday my brother in law was updating a whiteboard calendar and I asked him "isn't there an app for that?" He said "Probably... I just don't have time to be looking for it every time I want to know what's on my schedule"
I didn't say a word... I turned on my phone and clicked on the word calendar on my home screen.
lol.

Plus 1,000

It's the same with most any apple fanboy about anything that the almighty half-eaten apple produces.

Unfortunately, I have not done as well as some of you in hiding my capabilities from friends/family. When asked about mobile phone advice or any tech advice for that matter, I always try to take into account the user that I am making recommendations to. I'm diehard Sprint, so I push Sprint because the rates are so great and there are plenty of phone options. When making a recommendation, I simply do my best to point them to the phone that will work best for them. That being said, I regularly acknowledge in these conversations that the iPhone does what it does very well. I can't argue that point, but I can't state that Windows Phones have been doing it for much longer. My challenge to all the ifanboys, what can you're phone do that mine (Touch Pro 2) can't - other than the 100,000 fart apps? The few things an iPhone can do that are unique to it, aren't things I am going to lose sleep over not being able to do.

As a rule, the cult of iPhone only has 1 piece of advice - there is only one phone - and it's the iCLONE. Oh, how I hate being just like everyone else.

Okay, sorry... for the RANT, but isn't everyone entitled a spot on the soapbox periodically.

You know what though... I've found that most iPhone users don't even know what their phone can do that ours can't.
I just armed myself with a few pointless little apps....
light saber
fart machine
boobs
And pointless stuff like that and that's usually enough for them to stop trying to compete with me as they see the keboard slide out with a star trek "swoosh" or a transformers robot sound.
Cuz the conversation usually starts with, "Oh... is that an iPhone?"

And something else I've noticed... lol.
EVERYTHING'S a competition.
Your car, your house, your kids, your watch, your hmm hm...
You name it. So... It's in our nature. I enjoy the competition and I enjoy knowing what the iPhone can and can't do... That way I can steer the contest and I win. lol
Just fun with friends and family.
