Fair enough - then again dismissing an entire product/company for being 
$SHINY is also insulting.  Sure, two wrongs don't make a right but there 
it is.

And I was waiting for this...  always amazes me - while it's a debate, 
it's still technical in nature and it's about a technology that will 
affect anyone who supports BlackBerries or WM phones.  There are plenty of 
those threads on this list about those, so I'm assuming that the topic of 
smart phones is kosher.

There is also tons of off topic chatter that goes on and on with one and 
two word responses - funny how those never get called out, yet technical 
discussions that drift across someone's technical religion do.  Amazing, 
that...

Oh well, no one forced you to read the "inane iPhone debate" emails (and 
at least the subject line is somewhat accurate), just as no one forces me 
to read the other offtopic emails - just a PITA to sort through and delete 
them from a sheer volume perspective...
