Vicious Cycle

Everyone here is freaking out over a release date of a specific phone. If they needed a phone, or rather if it was a high necessity for them they would choose one of the many reliable phones out at this moment and would not have to wait. They have the luxury of be able to wait by using their current beater but choose to complain about a lack of a release date of a specific phone. The luxury here for people is is specificity, or the ability TO wait for a phone, but yet they choose to complain about it. Beggers can't be choosers, especially when it comes to something as expensive as a phone.

And its funny you bring up "scientifically proven wrong". Can you show me that scientific research please?? I'm currently completing PA school and would love to go in and tell my instructor that he and the book are wrong.

Again, what's wrong with waiting for the right phone for a while before using it until it breaks? Remember, no "next rumor date" had been more than a month away.

Also, not everyone waiting is "freaking out". Even those people who are "freaking out", shouldn't a forum be the right place rather than in reality?

Beggars cannot be choosers... I wish this is true, but please take a look at all these charity programs. Many (not all) of them require very specific things, and many beneficiaries ask very specific yet expensive things. Again, I agree with you on this point, but it is not gonna happen.

Same with vicious cycle. Do you really think people who are complaining don't know they are possibly in a vicious cycle? Sure, maybe not all of them/us. Wanting new gadget is like smoking and overeating , many people know they will come back to this stage again even after they try not to be in this unhealthy stage (getting the new gadget, quit smoking and on diet), it is not possible to have everyone being fine with one gadget, quitting smoke forever, and eating healthy.

If overeating is as you said "the American way", shouldn't "wanting a carrier to be more open about phone release" be the American tech nerds' way, and be accepted?
