Hello straw man.

Also, you realize that the smiley means you agree with the poster above you...right? It's not an insult.

how is that a straw man argument? i was merely making an analogy. (albeit a sarcastic one)

 

facts don't seem to matter to you...

the iphone looks kewl, but in all honesty, it makes a bad phone, it's tooo big and think of carrying that thing in ur pocket, it's way too huge!

again, it's not a big phone in comparison to it's competition... (in fact it's on the small side in comparison)

 

so i'll reword your response for you:

 

"the iphone looks kewl, but PDA type phones are to big for my tastes."

 

simple eh?

 

 

The argument of "it's to big" is pointless when comparing it to what it should be compared to

People can compare it to whatever they want.

 

That's like saying a Suburban isn't too big simply because someone is comparing it to a Prius and not an Excursion.

 

It's still huge either way.

prius is a car, subburban is an suv.

 

not even the same type of car

 

 

 

iphone is a a smart phone.

 

Your 30 dollar Nokia phone isnt a smart phone.

 

you might as well say..

 

I dont like the iphone because its a smart phone device

So? It doesn't make someone's reasons for not liking the SUV any less valid.

 

The same goes for the phone.

Apparently you're having trouble dissociating the concept of not liking something based upon your own opinion and the performance of the device itself. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it a bad product, it just makes it a bad product for YOU, not in GENERAL.

 

So you don't like the iPhone. Great, that's your prerogative. But don't go and say it's a crappy phone just because you don't like it. Based on the merits of the iPhone, it's a great little device, regardless of whether it suits your needs or not.

 

I can accept you not liking it. I won't accept you calling it bad device with the same justification.

It's not ideal for making phone calls. Almost any other phone is.

 

I'd call that crappy.
