@RY - maybe the fact they only stretched out the phone a half inch and added features already found on most other smartphones is the reason for the lack of hype?? I defend them too though only when people make flat out false statements. But you.... it's like you work for them and defend them no matter how ridiculous your statements might be.
Rev.
Ha.
I must work for Apple now too. People on these forums also think I work for Verizon and Motorola.
I'll be quick to defend anyone when others jump on them with ridiculous statements or made-up BS. Fact is, spout off ignorant statements - expect to be called out.
"Apple doesn't innovate, they only litigate now." - No, their engineers are still working hard on things for their products and platforms. They're litigating because they own patents that they feel are being infringed upon. I'm sorry Samsung was found guilty but they wanted to take it to trial.
"Motorola hates the ROM development community so that means they'll never make a Nexus device for Google." - If Google wanted Motorola to make a Nexus device, Motorola would be making a Nexus device.
"Verizon's Share Everything plans are a rip-off and they're taking away my unlimted data." - If Verizon's Share Everything plans aren't for you, no one is forcing you to switch to them. If you want to keep your unlimited plan, there are ways to keep your unlimited data plan. No one is being forced off unlimited data.
Go ahead and use terms like iSheep. But just know that these are all corporations whose number one goal is to make money by taking your money. Samsung would LOVE for you to be sheep to their devices. Google wants to you be a slave to their ecosystem. No different than Amazon, Apple, or Microsoft.
Seems like there's a bit of insecurity with rabid Android fanboys, a bit of jealousy with all the hype or treatment that Apple receives from the mainstream. Android fanboys would also be quick to call iPhone fanboys elitist but then stoop to their level with the personal attacks and insults. As a fan of Android and Google, put yourself above that nonsense.
