1) Olrelsi, a trend is something that people suddenly start doing in common

ORLY?

You obviously don't understand how trends start

a) iPhone trends:

i) Corporations are trying to create a finger friendly interface like iPhone

They were trying to do it long before the iPhone came out. Don't try to bend the truth.

One again, people are trying to create a finger friendly interface like the iPhone. Why? Because it is successful and because it is the first phone OS to do it well.

ii) Capacitive touch screens have become the desired standard

NO. Maybe you missed this:

Resistive is far superior to capacitive.

Do you understand what a trend is? Haven't you noticed people bashing resistive screens for the lack of sensitivity (it isn't actually sensitivity, it is the ability to work without applying pressure)

iii) Games and speedy interface

Haha. That was here loooong before the iPhone.

iPhone does have games and a speedy interface, that set a new standard for gaming. Before that there are no phones with such gaming capabilities (not even the stupid n-gage)

iv) Owning an iPhone is in itself a trend because of the apple's promotion

Yes, people are naive sheep that want to look flashy in front of their friends. Thank you for admitting that.

Yes so I just told you that the iPhone is a trend, thus your statement is false or just plain obnoxious and bashful

v) The fact that people are becoming stupider and need an operating

system that requires less amounts of learning and the more amounts

of intuitiveness is a trend. This is a sign that society will become

stupider and careless about technology.

Sorry to break the truth to you, but people prefer functional devices rather than simple "dumbed down" OSs.

That's what you prefer. Where I am from, every university student and professors and staff have either of these 1) LG Voyager 2) iPhone 3) Basic Phones

Nobody else owns a Windows Mobile device, except for this one other person who has an Xperia X1

The iPhone isn't as popular in the rest of the world as it is in the USA. Don't try to make it a society issue.

I know that. And the people in the USA is a society.

Nobody said it was the first touch screen phone.

It was implied. It usually is the next thing to come out, so I acted preemptively.

Overkill did not imply that it was the first touch screen phone. He implied that it was the first successful touch screen phone and obviously he likes it alot.

Nobody said the iPhone was the first phone without a keyboard.

Look above.

This is definitely not implied. Most of the phones that have ever been manufactured never had a keyboard. They have phone buttons and a dialpad.

I think Apple was the first to implement multitouch in their phones. And who said that they invented touch screens? We had that in ATMs before iPhone even existed.

Same as above.

There is no implications here. I simply stated that Apple was the first to implement multitouch well, and because people like multitouch + capacitive screens the iPhone started a trend for the desire of multitouch and capacitive screens.

No phone will ever be a brick until they break. And only a brick can actually be a brick.

iPhone is not bulky, it is thinner than the Xperia. The hardware isn't outdated. The iPhone processor was 400 when it came out and most phones had 400 MHzs during that time. Now most phones have 600 MHz processors and so does the iPhone 3GS.

I meant bulky not "bricking" your device. It is bulky. Don't try to deny it.

The Xperia is fatter than the Iphone but narrower than it. You have to accept the thickness as well if you are to complain about the width.

The hardware and software are both extremely outdated since the first day it came out. There weren't any major upgrades since then and people have payed many times for the same device over and over LOL.

True

I am not telling that you should buy the X1 or use WinMo. I don't care what phone do you have. Use whatever you want and enjoy it. Just don't make it something it is not and don't try to convert people.

I have to defend what I think is true. But I tried to convince my friend to not buy an iPhone too ya know?

iPhone is a below average feature phone with ****ty OS that lacks BASIC features and a crappy hardware with capabilities phones had in 1999.

It's the interface that the people want. It's simple and people think it's futuristic and fast and intuitive. Give the phone some merit.

It is NOT the Jesus phone.

It is NOT revolutionary.

It didn't change the market.

It is revolutionary. Why? Because it started a trend and it did change the market

People are naive and have herd oriented minds. Apple made a good campaign trying to convince you that the iPhone will make you cool. IT WON'T.

I just hope you aren't calling me naive as well, I love windows mobile to death and I have my reasons.

You have no idea what a trend is. People preferring capacitive screens are a trend. Just because resistive is better doesn't mean that it is a trend. Only when resistive screens become popular when that technology is fully implemented, than it might become the new trend.

Also people do prefer iPhone over windows mobile and they do prefer capacitive screens. And capacitive screens do not require pressure, that is why people praise it so much. These people often say the iPhone is "Heat sensitive" which they don't know is not how the iPhone works. This shows that people, aside from techies and the like, are not very informed about technology. Besides "heat sensitive" (capacitive screen i mean) does not require pressure. That is why people like it so much.

I'll even show your proof of me explaining to an idiot that the iphone isn't heat sensitive.

Why are you so compelled to bash every other OS and any opposition against the Xperia (with emphasis on the iPhone)?

I'm sorry for my unorganized manner of this response, it's just too complicated editing and formatting my response.
