Which word? Suckers? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that word, man. It is such a normal word.Choto Cheeta said:Yaaar Arya, do u really have to use such word in thread title ?? loooks really bad !!!
Or maybe you were referring to the word 'Nokia'. If that is the case, I am sorry. I know I shouldn't use such offensive words publicly!

Ya, maybe in the netiquettes or El Jobso.
Hey arya, is it like Apple holds a patent for "A rectangular device with rounded corners which can be used to make phone calls, access internet services, send short messages to cell phone users, which is operated by touching the screen using one or multiple fingers"? If no....then look at the phone industry, it far bigger then the computer industry out there....& iPhone is just a late kid in the block with only one pair of jean & turtle neck shirt
. Its not like Nokia is copying iphone, its more like iPhone is copying SE P800i (the grand daddy) or W950i

gx_saurav said:Lolz....iPod+iTunes is a success only in USA, not in India. Here people buy iPod just cos everyone tries to be cool & copy. I hope u know that there are more users in India using Chinese MP3 players or Mobile phones with memory cards then iPod
This is absolutely absurd..... !!! Ipod is a worldwide success (dun hv the tempo to copy net stats .. see it urself).. and it is completely true tht it is the first mp3 player to shake up and revolutionize the music industry.... and u urself agreed to the fact tht it is cool,..(other than being hip and an exquisite piece of technology...)
As far as i have noticed in calcutta and delhi, most people who possess an mp3 player posses an ipod.... can't remember the last time seen the yeps and zens in hand of indians.... and hell ya... it still has the best music quality among any player outta there. this is my personal experience.... have experienced a lot of other mp3 players down there... none can beat ipod till date (albeit with the right pair of headphones....
)The only thing I hate is iTunes....
But well, winamp has the wanted ipod plugin...

There was a person who used to talk just like you. He used to search for the negative aspects in apple products. Even if the product has 1% negative and 99% positive feature, he used to hang to that 1% and say it's crap. His name is John C Dvorak, The famous apple critic.
Guess what, He tried Apple macbook and here is the column that he wrote after getting hold of a macbook:
Me and My Mac "*www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2162397,00.asp"
at the end of the article, he said "Yes, it's a sad day for the Mac bashers. ".
Now he is a proud owner of Apple Macbook and guess what, he is not using Windows XP or Vista on macbook. HE USES OS X TIGER.
You can continue bashing and I will think you are a just like pre-mac Dvorak.
LOL. iphone is copy of W950i r P800i. LOL
You should seriously take part in world laughter challenge.

aks. yes. touch screen phones have been there in the market but the way they are used was very limited. iphone is the first phone to come with a multitouch screen on which you can do multiple justures.
@ gx_saurav. Yes. it's easy to write using stylus than to type on iphone. But overall, iphone's interface beats the vanilla touch screen interface and this is accepted by every reviewer out there and every iphone user. I am damn sure you are gonna accept this once you test one. I know you being MS fan will not buy iphone
. At least do a little test on the iphone and that will calm you down in iphone good/bad posts or may be you will switch group aks_win said:

You cannot deny the fact that due to marketing only iPod is so popular. People don't know much about other mp3 players & thats why they buy iPod. The case is just like what Prakash says "People don't know a about Linux, so they end up buying Windows".
Let not bring iPod here.

Do they know about anything else? Someone told them buy iPod, they bought it. Simple. They think using iTunes is easy, well....if thats easy then I don't know what will they say about WMP11 , Easiest...just plug the player, drag & drop & sync. Even a Nokia 5700 Memory Card can be synced with it,

Isn't iPhone trying to do what these are already doing.
Yes, & writing in important for me. I prefer writing in hurry instead of typing on a W950i.
I have said it many times, yes the intereface is good. But just look at the UI, it is the only thing which looks so cool
. This is a subjective stand....I don't like that slow interface with lods of animation. I prefer a W960i esqe fast & snappy UI. Can I do that in iPhone? No...can I bring animation to W960i with Flash Lite...yes, so W960i winsSorry, I earn a limited set of money & I would prefer buying a Nokia N81 or W960i instead of iPhone which won't even let me transfer files via bluetooth or set my own ringtone. iPhone is an iPod which can make phone calls. I need a phone which can play video & audio. Even my K750i is doing everything I need. The only thing I used to miss is Orkut & Downloading files from rapidshare due to lack of JAVAScript. Orkut is now supported by Opera Mini 4 beta 2, & using hacked Opera mini 2 I can download files from rapidshare too...
Sure, send me one. I m not going to buy an iPhone to try it.

El Jobos & Salesman - iPhone is a very good & easy phone. It supports nothing fancy or complicatedTech Genius said:This phone must be supporting symbian +java,vdeo recording,mms ,whereas iphone.
GX - Nokia 1100 is also a very easy Phone, it supports nothing fancy
Damn...I can't even compare Nokia 1100 to iPhone, atleast 1100 lets us use our own ringtone
Obviously any device will be easy to use if it has hardly any features. iPhone costs as much as a W960i, then atleast I expect it to be on par with the features. But it isn;'t

Ok, lemme give u an example. Do u know that here at Univ California, Berkeley, there exists a club of students .... iPoders... and its prestigious to be its member... and hell... nearly all the students (>90%) have at least one iPod... now lemme think about the number of students .. around 20K..(thtz much lesser thn the real no.)... and I think that they are much more informd/literate/intelligent than the "people" grp tht u were referring to.
Apart frm its excellent marketing policy (u hv to hand it over to apple and considering the fact that the success of a product much relies on this policy), its the ultimate quality of this iPod, tht has resulted in its prestige, the underlying subculture, the hip factor as well as its huge worldwide success. Otherwise this product wouldn't have won so many technological and design awards at several conventions and tech showcases (do u really think tht the ppl thr are dumb to hand those awards to an incompetent product).
What is the truth is that the market seems to closely follow the success of a product earlier... as soon as iPod gained success, several other companies were involved in the manufacture of a product on similar lines thus Zens were created and Yeps were re-invented. .... thus Apple indeed is an innovator on these terms..... !!!!!!!

Am i missing a point here.... its supposed to be a multi-touch multi-layered touchscreen (not the general tap ones) which is intelligent enough to understand finger-gestures...
Can u gimme the details on some earlier phones which sport this kinda touch screen technology??

U forgot, they are all americans, the palce where iPod is most famous, & americans are known to buy things without thinking. They follow the sheep hurd
Quality? Do they use gold plated connector? The audio chip is made by samsung which is also used in Samsung phones & there mp3 players. The iPod is made in Asus factories. What quality r u talking about?
ahem...how many awards were outside USA?
