    A billion downloads because Apple had a contest to get it going... It would have not reached one billion if it wasnt for the contest. It would have taken 6 more mths to do so. I bet in June Apple will mention 1 billion downloads... That is why the contest was created. To get this under there belt. LOL

    these are a few of the example of the problems with the device. I have had problems with each one.



    Tons of pages to read... Call me a troll after.



    hat's he best you could do/



    If you go through several pages of the links for each, one thing you'll notice is that many are repeats of the same forums. sometimes the forum shows up, and sometimes the individual posts, time after time.



    This isn't exactly a big problem.



    Neither are the others. The third is hardly even reported in the links you provided.



    Good try, but no cigar.

    This is your problem. You say really stupid things.



    Apple was almost at the billion download point when they started the contest. It's hard to believe you don't know that.

    Then why do you bother to come here? We wouldn't mind you leaving for greener pastures.



    Just say when.

    You're making things up just to get attention around here. It's a way of dominating the conversation without saying anything constructive or meaningful....



    Well stated!



    iPhone versus others. What I love about the situation is how Apple just came up with so many things that Nokia and others were just left picking their waxy anti-design ears. Love it!



    You know, Ovi = "door" in Finnish. How lame!



    Just waiting for iPad to beam us all (filthy, nasty, greedy) Westerners to the next era of personal computing.

    Can you imagine 3 models? Apple would need a bigger Genius bar just for exchanges. Or they would need to create a new space called... "iPhone Genius Bar" lol



    "Kid" you're giving all Italians a bad name. Give it up.

There's no way that you're going to use reason or intellect to shift their perceptions at all; much the opposite, in fact, as both of them (and a few others) derive all of their pleasure from coming here and getting us all worked up.




    Praise Buddha! Didn't realize that the forum had ignore lists. Wish it completely deleted their posts, but better than nothing. (Click here to add him to your ignorelist)

    I think something is wrong with that italiankid troll bot. It's starting to randomly respond to its own posts.

    If you would just ignore him. I think the other companies are getting scared. They may be able to match everything in the area of hardware but their software... It's nothing compare to Apples. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Hehe

    There's a word for people like them: troll. There, I said it!



    And the way you deal with trolls is to stop feeding them. Again, I don't want to tell anyone what they can and can't do on AI, esp. since I have neither the authority nor any conceivable right to do so, but won't you please reconsider replying to them? Ask yourself: is there anything at all to be gained from responding to anything italiankid has ever posted? Or teckstud? I'm all about discussion, alternate points of view, etc. I don't want to suppress anyone's opportunity to express their opinion on an open internet forum. But that doesn't mean you have to take this particular bait. Would your life be in any way less enjoyable if you simply ignored them?



    I'm very sorry that I've used one of my very infrequent comments to discuss an off-topic matter like this. I'll stop talking now.



    Thanks for educating me about the Ignore List. I've added ItalianKid and TechStud and things looks better now. Their "contributions" to the discussion seem very childish to me and my time is too valuable to spend it reading their words.

    ....the tone on here!

    Seriously I would have thought by all the posts on here for the last 2 years that iPhone would be at least #2 by now because we know it has everything people want, it does it so much better, that it was going to take over the smartphone market, etc, etc, etc.

    A lot of people sure get upset when they have to eat crow.

    What do you expect when you only have 1 phone with 1 carrier in the US? HEllo?

    One quick note: The iPhone is only carried by one service provider. The others are carried by all or must of service providers in the U.S.A. and I am guessing this is the same outside the U.S.A., that would effect everything a few people have been ranting on.
