lol owned

Im gonna guess those who whip out the iPod now are being considered fools rather then being envied as they planned. LOL

They don't whip them out any more. now they sneek them out.......Becasue the iPhone screams "Yeah Im an idiot...I bought one.....I drank the Kool-Aid..

iPhone screams idiot blonde teenaged girl to me.

Just like the one with the 300 page AT&T bill. What a showoff.

Yea cause the only reason people bought the iPhone, just wanted to impress people. You ever think that maybe they have a real interest in the phone because its innovative and want something different? I almost hate having an iPhone bc of the, "OMG is that an iPhone, can I see it!?" I hide it when im in public just so people will not haggle me. But overall, it never messes up like most phones(except Sony Ericsson's), and I am completely satisfied with the phones capabilites(yes, i've unlocked it to add ringtones, themes and other apps). I think its funny you spend so much time on a forum bashing the iPhone, which is expected to sell 1 million phones by the end of September when you could maybe do something else thats a bit more construct...
(continues)

The point is the N95 is Far far better and has more features for $100 more Yet most all those who claim they bought the iPhone to be on the leading edge of technology have no clue the N95 even exists.

Real GPS/5 MP Camera/ Real smartphone/ Real Browser for Wi-Fi.

The "expected" to sell out the first day! They expected to sell 1 million yet ATT activates less then 1/4 of that so far. They LOWERED the price $200 because ITS NOT SELLING!!!!

They still won't sell a million. People will now wait for iPhone II in January. The smart ones will buy the American N95 with 3G........instead.

dude all you ever come in here to do it b*tch about the stupid i-phone, we are sick of you talking sh*t about it non stop, no one cares about the issue nor do they care about you

Like Duude....You're gonna bust a vessel. Relax! 🤣
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I'm not gonna burst a blood vessel over it. I'm sure your probably a pretty decent guy, I just get sick of all the iphone posts you do. I work for AT&T and I f-ing hate the iphone myself, I think its a total waste of money. I can think of a ton of other things to spend that money on, but I don't post about it all the time. I'm not backing down on when I say enough with the posts about it. It's like you have some personal vendetta against apple and devote too much time talking about your disdain for them. If you dislike it so much, why wast your energy on it and empowering the company by talking about it so much. You give them way too much free advertising, they should probably cut you a check for all of it. 🤣

I could care less about the iPhone. I care more about those who believe they NEED it.

Those kids need to see how much they are being led around by their noses in the quest to be "cool" by people MY AGE! sitting around an oval table deciding what they should buy and what will be "cool" next month.

Apple sucked them into standing in a line they did not need to THEN lowered the price $200!!! IN A MONTH!!! I saw this coming and warned them. It would be a non event.

Its not about the phone. Its about being INDEPENDANT and not allowing companies put a hook in that "nose ring" the majority of Youth have.

independent does not exist in the age group of 13 to 25. For the majority!

Whats wrong with having a BMW? Now if I had an iPhone and a bmw then you could whine. Do I like the looks I get when I drive by? Yeah of course, who wouldn't. And you're wrong, I don't have an iphone I couldn't afford it because I have a bmw lol.

Everyone seeks approval it is human nature. You are hoping to seek approval from other people who have the same point of view as you.

I am not seeking approval from anyone. I could give a rats ass if anyone agrees with me. I could care less if people are in awe of what I have or even give it a second look.

I buy things because I like them not because of what others think about them. I can afford pretty much any car. Home is paid off no debt a...

Why do you post on here if you don't care what anyone else thinks.

I guess your right about being born to not care what others think thats why little kids will take their clothes off and run around naked...atleast i did 🤭

Thats right. We are taught to worry about what others think. Then advertising programs us to care about what others think so we will buy their stuff.

Then peer groups decide whats best for us. Then we buy what we think others want. On and on.

I am not a part of all that, I did the opposite and still do. The crowd goes right I go left. I feel sorry for those who are trapped into having to have the next best thing all the time. They never "get it"

Hehe, my DeLorean takes out chainsaw's BMW!!

Does it run off garbage?

Mr. Fusion only powers the time circuits and flux capacitor. The internal combustion engine runs on ordinary unleaded gasoline, always has.




😉

If by "neat" you mean glossy and boringly simple, then yes.



Windows Mobile!!! 😈

Too expensive.

BMWs are not all that. No German car is all thta any more. They had their day,

They say a lot about the driver though..(I would say owner but most BMWs are either owned by the bank or leased.)

They are not that expensive at all. Just about anyone that can afford a new Mustang can lease a BMW..Ho Hum.

my old m3 was a great car. Due to its rarity it only depreciated about $1,000 over 8 years.

Besides that, they are good cars, they hold their value very well, handle well, and are well made. There are plenty of cars in the same category for cheaper. I guess it is just user preference for me. but, my next car will probably be japanese due to repair costs and rising fuel costs.

I cannot speak for rare cars but
Everyday BMWs hold their value far less then a plain Jane Honda Civic. And they cost a small fortune to maintain.I will say they have GREAT lease plans. Probably the best (if you want a car payment for life.)

You are wise to choose an Asian car next time around. Even Americans are making decent cars nowadays. JD Powers has a couple rated higher then Hondas and Toyotas.
American cars are less expensive when it comes to parts as well.

I bought an HHR because it's different and polarizing. (Love it or hate it type) and very practical. Terrible resale which makes it a great deal used. I paid $14k out the door for a loaded 2006 with an MSRP of $24,125. 11,000 miles . Thats huge depreciation considering...
(continues)

lol, I'm thinking subaru for my next car. I need all wheel drive for winters and a guy I work with is going to be the head of finance at a huge subaru dealership when he finishes his MBA so I can get a screamin deal. But I really do enjoy my BMW for now, I always wanted a newer m3 and while I'm young and have no responsibilities I figure it would be a good time to splurge. But I'm not dumb, I've started my retirement and have some money in the bank....well atleast I do till my car needs a repair lol.

Either way, pretty darn expensive!

80% off all Americans live for today. And then when the day comes they look back and say wow I have no savings and nothing to show. Because everything they bay will be gone or way outdated by then. I love gadgets but will not spend over a certain amount just to have it. The $600 people spent on this could of been invested and doubled in a few years. But people think that is too much work or too long. If you started to save 2000 a year at 15 you would only have to save for 7 years to have over 1 mill for retirement. Wait till 30 and you have to save over 30 years to have the same amount!

My friend I hope you are young enough to do what I did, I "retired" at 45. No I don't have a million in...
(continues)

I will retire from the military at 38. I will not need to work but will probably work I dunno maybe as walmart greeter just do do something lol. But between my military pension, investments, and IRA I will not have to. I have no debt and pay cash also for everything. We just bought a SUV for 25000 and I paid cash. But I am making payments to myself to pay back my savings for the money. Beets paying 6000 in interest over 5 years. I dont' like to spend that much but I still have 3 kids and need a good reliable vehicle for them. I drive a old car just to get back and forth to work!

is it a military issued humvee??

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

No Nissan Armada

Damm You really need a vehicle that large? 😳 😳

Thats a huge truck. Good luck with it.

yeah 3 kids. Their friends luggage for trips it gets small very very fast. Trust me. And I love it the best driving vehicle I have drove in a long time. Well built!

Thats EXACTLY what we do. (Except we would not pay $25K for any car) But we make payments with interest (10%) to INGDirect where we keep savings for those purposes.

People think you need a Million dollars to "retire".
You don't.

You need a home thats paid for and some savings. People would be surprised to know how little they need to earn when nothing goes out except insurance and utilities. As SOME get older they realize they need far less "approval" and envy from others and can release themselves from caring about what others think and care more about how they want to live,

I'll never "retire" meaning not go to a place of employment. But I do get to chose where I work without regard to the pay, Thats a great place to be.

I hear ya. And When my kids leave and I get older I would not pay that much either. But I am young enough to pay it back and then some. People say the military won't make you rich. They are right but I live better then 80% of all the ones I graduated with. And in far better shape on retirement then any of them! So my point is planning and thinking about your future. If you what too long you have no future!

Thats why I want a federal job so I can retire in 20 years get paid retirement as long as we dont' keep digging our selves into a financial hole as a nation. Then I can even have a second career afterwards and do something really fun.

the government will always pay they can't go bankrupt!

Ha ha. Good one guy....dumb guy 😛

He is right though. The government operates on a zero sum balance sheet.

They will never go bankrupt because they can print money as well.

Ever hear of Dave Ramsey?

Yes, Ramsey was responsible for my sell out of the market in 2000. He was the only investment guru shouting SELL.

Well then.

If you follow the teachings of Dave Ramsey you sure are off course. We are not talking about someone buying the new BMW or Mercedes and financing it so they can look cool.

This is a phone. In my opinion it is a pretty neat phone. I did not choose to buy one because I did not need it or want it enough to pay $600.

If someone went out and bought it and are now paying interest on their credit card to have it I would agree they are pretty stupid. I think they are stupid because they could not afford it. If, on the other hand, they bought it and paid cash (or debit, etc) and could afford it then good for them.

YOU do not know their situations, nor have you asked. You have lumped them into a group. Dave Ramsey does no...
(continues)

I don't live by Ramsey's Social recommendation's. I followed his investment advice. LOL Clark Howard makes more sense for everyday living.

And yes those early adopters do belong to a group.

A group of easily led dummys........

Thanks for proving my point. What other groups do you have in that little mind of yours?

Were early adopters of electric cars easily led dummies? What about the TV? The DVD player?

lets see were talking about a Ipod that is at best a ok phone. You paid 600 for it. You can now get a itouch same thing as an iphone just can't make a call with it. Or a 160 gig ipod. See were I am going with this. $600 for 8 gig iphone that is a crappy phone. If they stopped and used their head then they would not have bought it right away.

Taste is subjective. I personally did not want to buy it either.

If you wait to buy technology because something better will come out you will never buy anything. Something better ALWAYS comes out.

Any frankly, NOTHING is out that combines an iPod and a Phone still. If that is what they wanted I will not criticize them.

I think people here that are fixated on ripping people who bought it have no life. If you have so much time as to tell someone what to do with their money and that what they bought sucks you probably live at home in your mother's basement (oh wait, I shouldn't judge).

Mom!!!!!!!!!!! Make me some meatloaf.

I wish someone told me what to do with my money. I would be so much better off. I think that is what is wrong with society today and yesterday. I was caught up with what was cool when I was 18 to 25. Then I thought about what everyone tried to tell me and said damn they are right if I listened to them 10 years ago I would have over 100,000 in the bank instead of starting late with 0. I am in good shape now but I could be in better. So yeah I think people need to be reminded whats important in life. Now if your making good money with no one to support but you and you have a good portfolio then yeah by all means you want it get it!

But we have no idea of these people's circumstances to say whether or not they can afford something.

People like avg loser want to rip them? I am sorry but that is just a glass half full loser mentality to me.

LOL.Avg Loser. IF everyone could be the Loser I am this would be a lot better world and people would be in a hell of a lot better economic shape.

I could only hope the younger people can become the "loser" I am. LOser would take on a whole ne meaning,

You are just a puffed up sales dweeb making your living selling everything BUT great phone SERVICE to kids with more money then common sense. Shame on you.

Nice to be anonymous isn't it. Say whatever you want and no one will ever know the truth.

As immature as you act regarding this topic I would venture to guess you are nothing close to what you represent. Someone who truly has made it does not carry the venom and spite for others than you pump through your veins.

Because someone, whose financial situation is completely unknown to you, chooses to buy a product that you do not they are idiots.

Bigotry at it's best.

BTW, I am not anonymous. I say who I am and back up what I say. Let's see you do that. Highly doubtful as bigots like you like to hide their identity more often than not.

You are always touting that 700$ N95.. so instead of picking up a phone that fits their needs/wants they should pick up one that cost significantly more? But then you disparage them as "idiots" for spending money ? huh? Your logic is awesome!

Yeah there is always something new and cheaper BUT 30% LESS in a couple months?

Nothing proves the idiocy of those who jumped on the IPHONE wagon more then a $200 drop in price in less then 6 months!

Why? BECAUSE ITS A BUST. I warned people this would be a bust and would be a non event. There was no need to stand in line. Apple would screw you with thier marketing hype....All this BEFORE the phone was released.

Now that I am right you are going to play the lets hear it for early adopters card? LOL Early Idiots is more like it.

Gotta love Apple. The only thing I would own with the Apple name is a stock certificate....

Right?

It is your opinion guy and you are entitled to it but you are no where near right.

The iPhone is the number one selling phone in it's catagory.

You predicited nothing.

Get over yourself.

LOL and what "category" is that?

Category of fools who rushed to judgenment in my opinion. And yes I did predict the iPhone would be a non event and they would not sell out and Apple will have a iphone fire sale......

Hmmmmmm

The iPhone sold out in 95% of the outlets available, even apple stores.

Sounds wrong to me unless you are from another dimension of reasoning.

And the iPhone, by independent comparisions, outsold all other smartphones and phones in it's price range in July and August.

You are making my point for me.

No one had to stand in line for the phone, It was not sold out. That is all market hype you are buying like everyone else.

Come on you are a businessman (I think) Would they really be dropping the price that much if it was the runaway success you tout? You are buying those numbers like they are real. If they were the iPHone would STILL cost $599.

Try some logic. Action speaks volumes more then "reasoning"

Read other posts by ralph_on_me, etc. regarding the pricing strategy by apple. Read the numerous comments by the inventment community for and against the move. I am not going to bang my head against a brick wall anymore. My views are not unique.

And when the iPhone is not available at 95 out of 100 doors and those 5 doors won't give up their remaining stock that is SOLD OUT.

Done.

Joe.. do you own a wireless store?

You get to choose your life. At 45 (or older) you should be mature enough to not judge others for their actions.

You are showing how truly pathetic you are by chastising those who choose to put their money elsewhere.

And?

wow, isn't compound interest amazing?!? Who said you can't save and have nice things too?

$$ they should be saving?

You know the financial situation on all the iPhone purchasers?

Hey moron, I can't sell the iPhone.

It's not even a rebate as far as I know Its an APPLE store credit. Win WIN for Apple,

This was the big bang of the year LOL Turns into a bust so they lower the price a TON! Ya think if they were flying off the shelves they would have lowered the price?

Gotta love Apple and their Kool-Aid drinkers.

Apple is def. good at marketing and playing the game. Its amazing. I went to breakfast sunday and all the hippies/"in the know" people had their iphones out poking at the screen. I am starting to fall in love with my nokia 6120 classic it is sweet I love symbian!
