The problem with your posts is that you always take a shot at RIM. You could have just said that Google sees a threat from SIRI but you could not stop there.
That is why you are pissing-off the BlackBerry users on this site.
so in return here are a couple of nice things about your beloved apple. Not from me but the media:
About how nice your company is. Do you hear about suicide from RIM component manufacturers? By the way, Apple is not passing that cost savings to consumers, the phone carriers are paying way more for the apple device than for a RIM device and then selling it for less in a complete distortion of the free market.

I saw and ignored your lies about the problem being fixed because you did not attack RIM on that post. Interesting that they won't have a confirmed fix until after the 30 return policy expires. Nice. Lock in the upgrade to iP5 at the client expense.

Here is another article on your Siri by Bloomberg and the Economist magazine says its more of a gimmick.

So, how do you like not having a buy button on your Audible.com app (and knowing you never will again because apple is trying to cajole people into buying from iBooks and making it harder for them to choose) on your iPad? How about the Kindle? You like that fanboy? How about Google Books? How about... you get the point.
Antenna gate, now 4S problems with battery that can't get you through the day, apple literally allowing component manufacturers to work their people to death (how proud they must be for their 70 billion in blood money) and depriving customers of key functionality on competitor apps. At least RIM eventually gets the apps and they work.
Here is the bottom line fanboy. I don't care if you want to spread your damned lies to your apple fan base but if you dump on RIM don't be surprised if we call you on it. This may be an Apple thread but it is in a BlackBerry website.
We get it. You hate RIM, we don't. We love our products and don't need your hate comments. If you want to post your praising comments on apple that is no problem at all. Some of us have both products and I think it is a good link to have for several reasons.
Fact is that I don't hate apple, although I question some of their practices, they have made huge contributions to the mobile space. I have said that Siri has huge potential and would not support delaying it until they get the bugs out because that is how you get the bugs out and I've said that on previous posts. But I absolutely don't care for your dump on RIM posts.
Lets make a deal. If you stop posting comments that don't add any value and just remind everyone of how much you hate RIM we will just not go off on you for it and you can go on and support apple all you want.
Isn't that fair? Why do you keep knocking on our BlackBerry devices? As you can see from the above, no one has a perfect record or clean slate.
If you like the device you have it is the right one for you. Lets just cut this attack stuff out. What do you say?

A few things here. First, if you read the article, you'd realize that Foxconn isn't owned by Apple nor do they make Apple products specifically. "Foxconn is the world's largest electronic manufacturer making product for Hewlett-Packard, Nokia and Apple's iPad" is the quote from the article. So why not blame HP and Nokia as well? In fact, some of the manufacturers that Apple contracts out make tech products for all the tech giants; apparently, though that doesn't matter and it's the company with the largest market cap's fault.
Second, Apple is a corporation looking to maximize profits like everyone else. They contract out to China because its cheaper. Want to be mad? Be mad at China's worker protection laws and the companies for treating their employees like they do, not at the buyer of their products.
Third, you're telling me that Apple charges more for their products to carriers AND dictates it be sold for less, thereby trying to maximize their market share and profits? Madness I tell you, madness.
I think you might want to look up again what constitutes the free market.
Yes, you got Apple: it's all some huge conspiracy to keep you locked in with your phone because they aren't providing a fix in what you define a timely manner. We'll ignore the fact that they acknowledged and are addressing the issue (releasing 2 beta versions to developers to test the fix already). We'll also ignore the fact that if you aren't happy, you can return the phone and wait until the fix if that makes you feel better. But apparently common sense isn't the first thought, is it...I saw and ignored your lies about the problem being fixed because you did not attack RIM on that post. Interesting that they won't have a confirmed fix until after the 30 return policy expires. Nice. Lock in the upgrade to iP5 at the client expense.

And you can find a bunch of articles that Siri is the next big thing in the tech world from other magazines. What's your point? My thing is this: it's in beta right now and remains to be seen at how successful it is in the market.Here is another article on your Siri by Bloomberg and the Economist magazine says its more of a gimmick.

Again, you're telling me a company wants to maximize profits by eliminating competition on their device? Here's a novel idea: if you use Audible or Amazon Kindle for your books and that a phone supporting these formats is important to you, then purchase a phone that meets this criteria. Crazy, right?So, how do you like not having a buy button on your Audible.com app (and knowing you never will again because apple is trying to cajole people into buying from iBooks and making it harder for them to choose) on your iPad? How about the Kindle? You like that fanboy? How about Google Books? How about... you get the point.
Personally, my battery has been perfect; no issues. I also think the antenna issues as before alongside battery issues are localized to some phones yet blown out of proportion by the media; just my thoughts though. Also, the battery issue is with iOS5, not iPhone 4S. Hence why a software update is being used to tweak the battery instead of a recall.Antenna gate, now 4S problems with battery that can't get you through the day, apple literally allowing component manufacturers to work their people to death (how proud they must be for their 70 billion in blood money) and depriving customers of key functionality on competitor apps. At least RIM eventually gets the apps and they work.
In terms of "working their people to death," see my comment above about how Apple doesn't own these companies nor have any control over how these companies are run. Kinda like the free market thing here: company A produces X for $Y, Apple buys it because because company B charges more. Maximizing profits: every corporation does it.
Also again in terms of competitor apps, you don't like it, don't buy it. Apple wants to make money and they like controlling everything from start to finish. Buy a different phone if you don't like it; that's why we have a free market with many choices for phones.
See, I actually care if people spread mis-information on any account and will call anybody out on it, fanboyism be damned; hence why your post still has glaring issues in it.Here is the bottom line fanboy. I don't care if you want to spread your damned lies to your apple fan base but if you dump on RIM don't be surprised if we call you on it. This may be an Apple thread but it is in a BlackBerry website.
The one thing I can agree on is that Accidental Post does have a tendency to display his preference for phones, no more than some other posters on this site do. It just presents itself as problematic because this is a BlackBerry site and AP enjoys using iOS/iPhone. So again, the best course of action in my opinion is to either fight it or deal with it, maintaining though a good debate with factual information on both sides if one decides to clash. Because mis-information hurts regardless of which OS you use.11-07-11 09:43 AM - Funny all I have ever asked him to do us show me my lies about Rim. And yet I sit patiently waiting.
So basically what is being said when I don't say anything about RIM he doesn't read what I post but if I mention RIM he reads and follows me. That's creepy.
But like Tedzone said I think they love me......

11-07-11 11:53 AM - You're entitled to your opinion but you're delusional if you say the iPhone sucks. Specs alone it's one of the best phones on the market. It may not be a device for you but it certainly doesn't "suck" and it didn't have 4 million preorders in 3 days because it "sucks" and it didn't sell out in Hong Kong in 10 minutes because it "sucks".RIM gave BB'ers Vlingo Plus for free and it's good.
I haven't tried Siri but I don't care to either. So far, every feature I need I get with BlackBerry.
iPhony still su*ks
You BlackBerry guys say us iPhone users are "kids with toys" but saying something that clearly is a great device "sucks" seems pretty childish to me.
I like BlackBerry, but RIM only wishes they had these types of numbers from one single device launch.11-08-11 06:20 AM
