ikr

but seriously, you're being stupid, not because everything looks like the first thing that came out doesn't mean they're the same thing.

Made a new post about Ubuntu phones today, you might want to check it out.

You're the one being stupid, prescribing one thing to everything. "Oh, well if you call touchscreen only smartphones that look 95% similar to an iPhone an iClone then your face is hitler hur dur dur" Are you fucking retarded? Seriously?

I call them iClones (which honestly was a whimsical joke to begin with, like people calling Microsoft Micro$oft or Microsuck) because iPhone was the first one that came out with that stupid design, after which everyone copied them. They're essentially the same exact phone version in version out with slightly different firmware and hardware. They all feature the same 90%+ similar design I showed above and are totally useless to anyone with long nails.

In the mid-to-late 90's, cellphone models were vastly different. Occasionally a new trendy one would come along and some others would copy their design, but things continually progressed. But now, design has stagnated to a singular design.

Of course, I'm not saying that a large screen is a bad thing, or even the design itself (other than heat sensitive touchscreens). But, they are just ripoffs of the original iPhone, and thus the name. I didn't like the functionality of the first, and I don't like the functionality of its 900 billion clone models they've come out with since then.

The only useful ones are the ones with a full qwerty keyboard, and the large screen. If you look at that screenshot earlier, even if you compare it to a full qwerty one like this one:



The base model of it is 90% similar. The speaker/logo and random button areas are exactly in the same spot, screen and size almost exactly the same. But, it has a physical keypad which separates it from the iPhone clones. They're unique, different, they've evolved. But more than that, they're actually useful to me.

Here's the last style of phone I owned:



And honestly, ones like these are just amazing...



They're essentially miniaturized laptops. Anyways, the full qwerty keypad is what's important to me since I can't use a touchscreen with my nails.

Luckily for iPhone 4/5 fans, there's an add-on you can get that adds a full qwerty keypad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OlFK3-I9gc

Looks like it's only $20, so that's good. There's already lots of models with them though, so it doesn't really matter overall... but it's still pretty cool.

lol and you seriously need to reread what i said, you just practically skipped the main point of that reply and raged away with your awful tastes.

you outa really learn how to use external keyboards, you really just lack the thought of it.
Edit: regular bluetooth keyboards works as well.

So would you say when I linked one in the post directly above yours, I "lacked the thought of it?"
