I NEVER POST... but after clicking one thread stating why people shouldn't complain about the $10 surcharge for EVO.. and finding nothing but snarky comments instead of real argument towards persuasion... I just had to give my 2 cents. Please top trying to pick sides within sides... its effin' gross...
So in being relatively new to android I have done a ton of research on the intricacies of the OS and all that it can do. What I have found most is that there are more people (majority, not all) trying to sound like know it alls, than there are informative people. People complain about how the OS is getting fragmented but it seems the users are being more so. There is too much animosity amongst people who have pretty much the same phone. Alot of that can be seen with the whole EVO vs Incredible. Even those with Nexus Ones have been found gloating about getting the next OS rev first. Seriously, we all know any facts you want to try to rub in our faces. Heck ALL three phones are HTC and near identical. The average consumer will not take to the platform if they get such a distaste from opinion spewing wannabe techies. People are generally open and trusting in these scenarios and to scoff or think you are somehow better than those, is severely delusional.
As odd as it is, wide adoption is necessary for us if this platform is to grow and be competitive. There is way too much hating going on from one thing to another... I can gather it comes mostly from the bored/lonely/unsocial... but still.. the whole "if you don't know you should return the phone" "nuff said" and so on is just going to make us lose. Just like on blogs, lack of information in comments, and just boasting or bitching is a cop out for people who have nothing worth while to say. I for one don't want the stigma of being douchey assholes if iphone people are the fad followers. Seriously... I love the platform, but if the iphone's for ditzy girls then some of you make android seem like its for angry nerds.
Please consider those you speak to, just because they can't see you doesn't mean you get to be a ****** who wastes all OUR time.
(off topic) I have been on all sorts of forums and its sad enough people touting their different porsches, lexus', and what nots in their tags... but lol phones and the specs in those too?(ok that was a bit of hate
