Well people do know that iPhone wasn't capable of that. And "real life" not internet people always talks about the flaws (especially if they have one).
Not everyone is an idiot. Some people do know that the iPhone lacks some capabilities but they just dont give a crap.
If people actually wanted the features of Windows Mobile, for example, they would flock our forums even more.
That's just the way the world works. Not everyone is a techie. Not everyone gives a crap about the other OS.
Of course there are a few people who are just plain stupid. There was this one guy who kept on saying that the iPhone had a heat sensitive Touch Screen.

Agreed, but most people do have phones...yeah, the majority may think that I have an iPhone, but it's because of their sinister marketing campaign. But for those here...that have seen the light, don't thise commercials just make you nodd your head nd roll your eyes?
Oh, yeah, HDwobble is useless but extreme sophomoric "Porky's" fun.

Who invented the telephone?
Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds, daughter of a surgeon in the Royal Navy. His mother, who was a portrait painter and accomplished musician, began to lose her hearing when Graham (a name that was used by his family and close friends) was twelve. His father had a world wide reputation as a teacher and author of textbooks on correct speech, and as the inventor of "visible speech," a code of symbols which indicated the position and action of the throat, tongue and lips in uttering various sounds. Melville’s Visible Speech helped to guide the deaf in learning to speak and Graham became an expert in its use for that purpose.
Graham and his two brothers assisted Melville in public demonstrations in Visible Speech, beginning in 1862. At the same time he enrolled as a student-teacher at Weston House, a boys’ school near Edinburgh where he taught music and speech in exchange for being a student of other subjects. A year later he became a full-time teacher at the University of Edinburgh while studying at the University of London.
In 1866 Bell carried out a series of experiments to determine how vowel sounds are produced. He combined the notes of electrically driven tuning forks to make vowel sounds which gave him the idea of "telegraphing" speech. In 1870 his brothers died of tuberculosis and his family moved to Brantford, Ontario, Canada to a healthier climate. A year later Graham moved to Boston where he opened a school for teachers of the deaf and in 1872 became a professor at Boston University.
Bell’s interest in electricity continued and he attempted to send several telegraph messages over a single wire at one time. Lacking the time and skill to make the equipment for these experiments he enlisted the help of Thomas A. Watson from a nearby electrical shop. The two became fast friends and worked together on the tedious experimentation to produce sounds over the "harmonic telegraph." It was on June 2, 1875, while Bell was at one end of the line and Watson worked on the reeds of the telegraph in another room that he heard the sound of a plucked reed coming to him over the wire.
The next day, after much tinkering, the instrument transmitted the sound of Bell’s voice to Watson. The instrument transmitted recognizable voice sound, not words. Bell and Watson experimented all summer and in September, 1875, Bell began to write the specifications for his first telephone patent.
The patent was issued on March 7, 1876. The telephone carried its first intelligible sentence three days later in the rented top floor of a Boston boarding house at 109 Court Street, Boston.
Apple:
Established in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976 and incorporated January 3, 1977,[5] the company was called Apple Computer Inc. for its first 30 years, but dropped the word "Computer" on January 9, 2007[6] to reflect the company's ongoing expansion into the consumer electronics market in addition to its traditional focus on personal computers.

telegraph i know who invented the phone. my comment was a social cometary saying people are ignorant to think that the iphone is innovative in anyway.
I dislike Apple marketing, service, and many of their more uninformed users, but the products themselves aren't horrid. Overpriced? Arguably. Value is in the eye of the beholder, even if the beholder doesn't care for all the facts.

I have spent so much time explaining what a crappy device the iPhail is to the ignorant crApple fanboys. It is not even a smartphone. It is a damn feature phone with outdated hardware and software capabilities.
Apple has good marketing campaigns + people are naive sheep = iPhail success.
I don't mind anyone using and enjoying. I just HATE it when someone comes and says that it is the best device ever or that apple invented anything.

I have an idea
I was wondering if there is a way we can put an end to the WinMo hating threads that keep popping up. It does seem like in the last few months there has regularly been new threads created just to complain or be haters and not find solutions.
I am not sure what, if anything can be done, but I would like it if at least such nonsensical threads could be moved to the off-topic section because they generally don't have anything to do with any of the hardware, software or operating system.
Anyone else have any thoughts about this?

I agree. The problem is threads can start with good intetntion and be useful and then they often seem to deteriorate into a pointless opinion based argument. Not sure of a way round the problem short of starting a separate forum called XDA Under 16's
