But that doesn't matter as long as the finished product is no one wants, is that it? So it's only an injustice if the product is best in it's class an people are willing to pay for it? In fact, line up by the millions to pay for it?

Please You're a clown.

Of course, it doesn't really count because "RIM doesn't make as much money as Apple" (which, for the record, is the SILLIEST excuse I have ever heard on CB).

EXACTLY!

Well, at least I tried. You guys should listen to yourselves.. you all sound ridiculous. No one has the upper hand in the conversation and no one will ever win. Its so pointless. I agree in the way it makes me frickin pissed off too.. but theres just no use anymore.

It's not me that signed the petition, it's those that actually bought the product.
