Reply #10: True story...my LG/AT&T phone died in December...(Apple haters are stupid morans).

We don't have land lines. My wife and I were in Florida for a family function when my LG phone fell into someone's drink (hey, it was a good wedding). We HAD TO replace the phone. We have no land line...the number is on my business card, etc.

I looked at it as an opportunity...I could finally get an iPhone. You know, that insanely expensive trendy device that costs a brazillion dollars and is only used by leather-clad trendy hipster types who only love the brand but don't care about the tech? You know...them.

Funny thing is, to buy an iPhone at full retail price would have cost me $200 or $300. Wow. Sounds expensive, right?

Erickson and Blackberry and a dozen other brands I can't remember, had similar phones for $500-600. And more. But I NEVER see any threads about them on DU. Why is that?

My wife wouldn't let me get the iPhone a week before Christmas. It turns out she had already special-ordered an engraved iPod Touch for me for Christmas. (The iPod touch is an iPhone without the phone).

So...why don't you Apple haters post about the $600 phones from other vendors? What's your fucking problem? Why is it cool when other vendors sell expensive phones, but heresy when Apple sells 'em with twice the features for half the price?
