Why is TP2 better than iphone

[onickjo]

Help me shutup my friends with iphones. Please list some reasons why my TP2 is better so I have some points to debate and shut them up

Awesome slide out keyboard...I hate the Iphone and all the Iphonies (I phone users) thinking they are better.

You have a choice of providers other than AT&T, many (if not all) of which offer better plan pricing and superior networks.

That's the biggest advantage right there.

Unlike most users here, I actually LIKE the iphone. There is NO WAY I would switch to the awful ATT service to get one however.

Apple is technology for idiots. Dumbed-down computer technology with better advertising. You're smarter than them because they need the dumbed-down technology and you don't. You can fully customize anything on your phone and they basically have to suck up what Apple gives them and take it in more ways than one.

We discussed a lot of comebacks and stuff here...

But you also need to know stuff like this:

I hate how apple panders to dumb people in their advertising, its so insulting.

"Our products just WORK, so you NEVER need to think! No maintenance needed, no viruses, no harmful applications, no individuality whatsoever! And its in a pretty, shiny case too. All for the low, low price of $1000 & up for the most base model laptop, the equivalent of which is Kabuk1's $260 Wal-Mart netbook!"

Asinine. But anyway, onto the anvantages of the TP2 over the iPhone.

Removable battery
Removable storage
Hardware keyboard
No software limitations(install whatever the hell you want)
Multiple service providers
No yuppie bull****
Complete customizability

And much more that I can't think of cause I haven't slept in 30 hours.

"If you've got tons of viruses on your PC, don't worry: it's not your fault! It's because you have a PC instead of a Mac, not because you're a moron opening any email that comes to you and those 6 hours a day you spend on that sketchy online poker website! And don't listen to PC when he comes out with a new Windows version and makes promises! Apple's style is to basically not mention our limitations and release them 3 years after everyone else has them, like we did with the iPhone and MMS! And Apple is great for your image! If you like looking like you have low intelligence and are fans of Paris Hilton and other celebrity idiots, you'll fit right in when you walk into the Apple Store! So if computing is too complicated for you, and you need a simpler lifestyle, feel free to get a Mac! We like to think of it as just going to college and taking all easy 100-level courses. Sure, you got a 4.0, but you're not that smart."

You know what, i wasnt even going to bother commenting on this thread because its pointless, but now this is getting ridiculous. Its now about apple in general? I was a pc user all my life until i got a mac a few years ago. it has nothing to do with someone being a yuppy or whatever. apple makes great software and a great os that is extremely intuitive and talks well across applications. but i also love my touch pro 2 and would never get an iphone. why? because i agree with the points that it is less customizable, less flexible, and its only on att. thats it. but its a great phone for people who want a more straightforward multimedia experience. apple used to be really expensive until they switched to intel chips in their macs. macs are really a finely built machine with amazing warranty and amazing os. lets just stick to facts when comparing phones and not start classifying iphone owners or mac users as one type. ridiculous

Some of my reasons for disliking the iPhone have to do with Apple as a company. And if the OP is looking for fodder for his argument with friends, there's plenty of it when you open the Apple bag. The fact that you're not allowed to do what you want with it is AT&T AND Apple.
