Apples WWDC is June 7th, how will Sprint time the Evos launch?

[Jeremy]

You just have to listen to the comments from those new iPhone users....they will look at my phone and say "oh...you don't have an iPhone?". No, sorry, I don't have a Fisher Price phone with Kindergarden OS. They don't buy it because of what the phone can do, they buy it because it's the "in" thing to do, because it's "cool". People bought Palm Treos and Blackberrys because texting was becoming more popular and those two phones offered the first QWERTY keyboards.

Why did I switch from a dumb phone to my first smart phone, the HTC Touch on Sprint? Because I saw on the forums just how much you can do with a WinMo phone. Why did I switch to the Palm Pre, because I liked the card system, but mostly because of the integration of the calendar and the whole synergy thing. Why am I now switching to the Evo? Because of the massive screen, the fast cpu (tired of webOS lag), and because HTC took some notes from Palm and integrated things nicely, and because the 7 homescreen with widgets can be compared to having 7 cards open on a Pre, without the lag, and without the TMC error. In other words, I did my research, and I know what I am buying, unlike the sheep that see that everyone else has an iPhone, so they gotta keep up with the Joneses and get one too.

Point is, if you ask the people that I am talking about, the "sheep", they know just about nothing about what their phone can do. They still have the stock apps on their phone, and they never bothered doing the latest updates, and they probably can't even synch with iTunes. And it's those snooty iPhone owners, that look down on whatever phone you might have, a phone that I know everything about, and belittle it just because its not the iPhone, that I refer to as the "sheep", and the "herd" are all the others that are equally clueless.

But, we do have to thank the iPhone for this wonderful flood of new smartphones that let us be such succesful mobile accomplishers, yeah, I stole that line from Dieter Bohn

I think you can say this just about any mobile platform that exits...

True, but the iPhone crowd is the trendiest by far. I don't see too many people bragging about having a Blackberry. There's a reason for the genesis of the terms "Apple Fanboi", "The Jesus phone" etc...

Again to be fair, people like yourself (not an insult) create those names. And honestly in 2007 the iPhone was a huge breath of fresh air for the complete mobile industry. Have to give credit where credit is due. Yes I own a ton of Apple stuff but I'm fair. And I have heard people brag about all sorts of phones and I stop and think they are crazy. "Cool Sidekick dude..."

I haven't run into anyone bragging about any other phone so far, oh wait, there may have been this one guy, way back when the Moto Razr was new! LOL

O Reli? What did the iphone do in 2007? play music and do a very bad job at making and answering phone calls. Apps didn't come until mid-2008 with the 3G
