Sorry to hear about that, Anderson. Maybe you should go on one of those date shows or buy a Macbook Pro and sit in Starbucks until a cute girl asks you about it. Maybe you'll get a date. It worked for me. ;)
Girls like things. A girl will settle for a guy with no personality, as long as he provides her with more things. And a MacBook signals that the guy might be able to buy her more things. Just saying. I'm a PC user too, but I morph into a Mac user when I'm out and about because it almost always leads to conversations with women and conversations lead to dates.
Enjoy your cheating Girlfriend/Wife. Girls who choose material goods over the person are more likely to cheat on their significant other because the only thing in the relationship for them are things, the person that they’re with brings nothing else to the table, in the end 90% of women outgrow this stage anyway so either you'll be stuck with a cheater or alone.
And because the girls who settle for personality are always incredibly hot, right? Good luck with that.
The good thing about the girls that like you for things, is that she can always be replaced with the even younger girl that likes you for things, even though you're old and ugly. Meanwhile, the girl that likes you for personality is getting old and ugly with you.

Isn't that what the MacBook Air is for? :p
Actually I was hinting that girls might think you have a better PING in Counter-Strike, if you know what I mean. Of course, some would say that it's not the size of your PING that's important, but the latency.
That might one of the lamest things I've heard in a while Paul. Most non retarded people purchase products because they fit their need, not because they are trying to exude some lame ass image.
Self confidence champ, women find that infinitely more attractive than your freaking laptop.
Paul, I don't have a girlfriend because I've been happily married for 10 years. As well as being pretty hot she's also smart (two degrees, one a 2.1 in Business Studies) and certainly more than smart enough not to be impressed by some prick sipping expensive coffee whilst tippy tapping on a shiny bit of aluminum.
Which is not to say I can't afford to buy her nice things like, say, cars and holidays and stuff because I most certainly can, just that I don't have to.
Paul got pwned by Mark Anderson. these iPhone fanboys are all the same. they're all sheep. if the iPhone is so great, how come it can do half of the things a phone from 3 years ago can? you know, bluetooth transfer, video recording, MMS, etc...
Huh, I got owned because someone said they have a wife? I thought I was just giving ole Mark advice about getting a girlfriend, but apparently we were in a cage fight. Okay.
But about this magical phone you have. I guess your phone also has 15,000 apps and games, 3G, Multi-touch, a real Internet Browser called Safari Mobile, Caller ID, Visual Voicemail, Visual Call Merge, Visual Call Swap, an iPod with CoverFlow and Video playback, E-mail, SMS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, a Wi-Fi and Cell store, Ringtones, an SDK, Exchange Support with Push E-mail, Cisco IPsec VPN, IMAP and POP3 support, Remote Wipe, Multiple language support, Parental Controls, Web Apps, Enterprise App Support, Ad Hoc for Schools, MobileMe for Non-work related synching, A-GPS and Google Maps with Satellite View and Live Traffic Info, 16 GB of flash storage, a 620 MHz ARM processor, a 3.5-inch, 480 by 320 pixel, 163 ppi capacitive, optical glass Wide Screen, an Accelerometer, Ambient Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, a Sleep/Wake button, a Volume Control button, a Ringer Control button, Earbuds with a built-in microphone, a Flush Headphone Jack, a Rechargeable ion-polymer battery, a YouTube app, a Photo app with geotagging, a Scientific Calculator, a regular Calculator, Stocks, Weather, Notes, Contacts, OS X, XP, and Vista support, and all for the low price of $199.
@ Paul You realize way more then half your list is already included in other smart phones on the market? And that around half of that list is included in quite a few dumbphones? Or that at least 3-4 of those 'features' are required for a working phone? And that you are in fact not getting that for the 'low' price of $200? As you are bound by contract to pay $800+ if you continue on the plan and around $450 even if you terminate early?
I guess not, since you've been told this a thousand times and all you can do is copy and paste a features list (presumably not from your iPhone).
Mark, don't even bother with this guy... Just look at this one he did a month or so ago, he has 50 posts...... everyone of them low ranked. http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/01/welcome-back-to-the-social I bookmarked that, just so I could show this later... he's back at it.

Lets see, I'm sure my G1 doesn't have a handful of the things that you just listed there but it does do more things that your precious iPhone can't do. You forget, the iPhone isn't the only smart phone on the market. I'm sure that most of the things that you listed on here that the "God-almighty iPhone" has is certainly not exclusive to the iPhone and most of these things have become standard in today's smart phone. It's only a matter of time before the outdated hardware cannot handle the tasks the majority of its users do anymore and people seek out an alternative because Apple thinks the same way you do and thinks that they never need to improve the iPhone.
The Chromebooks are here, starting with Samsung's Series 5, a cute little number that promises instant-on access, 3G connectivity, and long enough battery life to web surf with the best of 'em.

@ Paul A. Chapel
Funnily enough, most people can get by with their personalities to pull rather than relying on a brand image. Maybe you should try that sometime ;-)

I hear that MacBook Pro users have "bigger hard drives," if you know what I mean. ;)
I heard they had security issues. And not the Windows kind.

In other news: You're still a cock.
And you still have an obsession with cock, apparently.

isn't ping basically the same thing as latency. paul, you're so dumb. why are you even here if people don't like you?
