If you don't want a smartphone, fine, but don't go running off about how your DS is better.
I think you just don't know shit about the iPhone yet feel confident in saying it's an inadequate game platform.
When did I say anything about the iPhone as a gaming platform? Do you even know what you're bitching at me about?
All I was saying there is that just because it's a smartphone doesn't mean it's not a game platform, as most people imply that's the sole reason an iPhone isn't a game system. If you never meant to imply that, point taken.

Which also leaves out a number of features the iphone has, most notably a multi-touch touch screen.
The n900 has features the iPhone doesn't and vice-versa. If you're going to try to argue features, let's argue about Fords vs. Chevys too.
Hey, you said N900 is the shit because it has flash and iPhone doesn't, I pointed out the iPhone has stuff the N900 doesn't. Does a phone have to do EVERYTHING to be acceptable? As I already stated, most websites have a mobile version JUST for the iPhone. But no, it doesn't have flash, that makes it horrible, right?

and what download service doesn't?
Music services such as Napster and Amazon have no DRM or have recently abandoned DRM.
YOU SAID THE APP STORE! The App store sells APPS. You could put Amazon music on your iPhone, what's stopping you? Like I said, I have nothing but bootleg MP3s on my iPhone, so what are you even talking about? My iPhone is bone stock too, it's not jailbroken.
When Amazon starts selling DRM-free iPhone APPS, let me know.

QD, and yes, it was the best phone I had ever used up until the iPhone 3GS. The call clarity was amazing, the reception was better than anyone else's phone (i'd get service when everyone else had none), the emulation was f'n awesome, it was a great phone.
Even though this post about the N-Gage was good, I'll post this anyway:
Like I bolded,
QD:
QD was a normal side-talking phone and fixed a number of other N-Gage issues like size, cost, button placement/quality, etc.
So yeah, your douched out comic really makes alot of sense

says every iphone owner. Go to a mac forum and ask if they want a stylus, you'll get a resounding "NO!"
Not every iPhone user goes on a Mac Forum.
But the most hardcore of users do, which is where you would find people complaining about the lack of a stylus. The whole thing was designed around the use of fingers, as stylus is not needed, AT. ALL. This isn't an opinion, the only people that use a stylus are people that regularly use it outdoors in cold weather and don't want to wear special gloves or fingerless gloves. Most games and apps wouldn't even be possible to use properly with a stylus. Getting rid of the stylus is one of the best things about the iPhone IMO. If you have some creepy stylus fetish, be my guest, but stop arguing that point as a mark against the iPhone because no one else seems to have a problem with it.

must've looked real hard the first time
Last time I looked was when the iPhone was still new. Also, I wasn't talking about the availability of the styli, I was talking about how the iPhone touch screen reduces the number of choices.
Of course it's going to be hard to find when it's brand new. Again, the screen was designed for finger use and does it brilliantly. I know people with fingers that are fat as shit that use an iPhone no problem without a stylus. In fact, they're better with the iPhone than they are with a regular computer keyboard as far as unintended input is concerned. Unless you need a dialing wand to dial a phone, you don't need a stylus.
If you aren't clear on it, you can only hit 1 key per finger. If you're typing, you can't just hit "gh" with one tap, it's either going to type "g" or "h", whichever your finger is most covering. This is for all button presses. If too much surface area hits the keyboard, say, your palm, it simply won't type anything. Again, it's a very intelligent OS and if you actually used it enough to know WTF you were talking about, you would know that, but you haven't so you don't. Keep blowing smoke out of your ass though, you seem to enjoy it.

then why did you even post it?
Because this is a laid-back forum, it's not like we were seriously debating anything.
if it's so laid back, why does someone jump up my ass no matter what I say, and even worse, do so with completely illogical unfounded nonsense because apparently they don't know what a "google search" is?

and I've disproved all of them.
No you fucking didn't. For my first two points you even said that they were true and tried to excuse them.
Um, I kinda did: doesn't need flash because an ever-increasing number of websites make custom mobile sites catering to the iPhone that are
better than the PC flash version. I mean, if they replace an inefficient crappy method with a better one, that makes it inferior? Are you next going to tell me the iPhone sucks because it lacks a 9-pin serial port?
DRM is only on the Apps. iTunes may have DRM, but who gives a shit? my phone is full of bootleg music and movies without any jailbreaking or hacking required. I could give a shit about iTunes, I'm not supporting or defending them. Any app on any phone has DRM. Again, how about you know WTF you're talking about before running your mouth?

everyone that has an iPhone loves it, everyone that doesn't hates it.
Good day.
The only people I've heard complain were people that literally never downloaded a single app outside of what the phone came with and mostly complained about how much it was to replace when they lost their phone or broke it from dropping it or throwing it around. So, I guess exclude irresponsible dipshits and then my statement becomes true.
