Well I'd like an iPhone with zillions of apps, instead I have a non-iPhone on which I can get the weather, news headlines (out of date), wikipedia, sport and "celebrity news" :))


Oh and I can get Facebook and stuff, but I can't read any of it because the screen's so small :))


But hey, I only pay a tenner a month for loads of calls and texts and internet time and the phone was free, and I got a lovely hot pink leather case for it for a fiver from eBay, so hey who needs an iPhone (grrrrrrrr I want one (6):))).

I have an iphone 4 and it's really good.

It replaced my Blackberry Storm 2 which was really not good.

I was not brainwashed in to either purchase, I made the decision of my own free will.


Why do people that don't like the iphone constantly go on to forums and bitch about them? if you don't like it don't buy one.

I don't like Coronation Street, I do not however go on to forums venting about how ridiculous and boring it is, I just don't watch it, which may be a shocker but hey, thats just me!

Really?? I'm a person with an iphone, i don't bang on and on about it..........

I'm assuming random strangers in the street don't just walk up to you and say hi, look at my iphone now justify to me why you don't have one, so if it's your friends making you feel so bad, perhaps don't spend time with them!

I may be wrong but.....I got the sense that it was directed towards the mass marketing (brain-washing) and how people may have been influenced into thinking they 'ought' to have them as opposed to just bitch because they don't like them.

Now I used that line on here once as a defense for my more " creative " postings, didn't wash with "whoever" was in charge



But as it's you ....well, who knows ?



BTW I do have an I-phone & it's great for me, I also have some "shoes" & they're great too

Oh goodie, you are still talking to me then.


And I'm only quoting people back at people - steve started it on here, and you started it with the face smashing, so you know, nerr.

Rosie mentions a genuine grievance about the iPhone ? typing. And the rest of it ain?t perfect either. And evangelicists do harp on. And have we mentioned battery life yet?


And yet


The nay-sayers doth protest too much


Having owned other smart phones, there is more chance of me eloping with Ligaturosity (or whatever her name is on THAT thread) than teher is of me going to any other platform


It just IS too useful (as a walker) to have a proper navigational device in my pocket at all times

It is too useful to not have to carry a phone and an MP3 player seperately

Watching live football when in a pub without a TV in times of need ? marvellous

Bus and Tube timetables and platform notices ? damn useful

Ability to download films instead of waiting for Lovefilm or a trip to the Lane? Sweet

Radio tuner to effectively every radio station in the world? Yes please

Best internet browser on a phone ? has saved my bacon more than once

Blah blah blah


Other phones do some or all of these things also I know ? just not as well


I don?t NEED any of these things but many of them make my day to day journey?s and idle moments a lot more pleasant


So in order:


I?m defending the functionality of smartphones first, and the specifics of the iphone second (rather than the other way round)

I think there's a difference between what's essential in terms of real productivity value and the useless novelty froth for technologies sake...."just because we can".


What gets me about the iphone is all the useless crap apps - the mobile equivalent of novelty kitchen nik nak shops on Lordship Lane. People fill their phones with stuff that makes it sound like a champagne cork and pay 99p for it. Millions of people/geeks are doing this for novelty value creating a market. The mind boggles.....

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
