You know how I was talking about your habit of snarking pointlessly by taking things out of context? You're doing it again. I pointed out the lack of logos while looking at the screen. Obviously an Apple product has a logo, on the back where the user isn't forced to look at it. I think the logo looks nice; some people disagree. But the point is that when you're staring at the phone to use it, there's a lack of visual clutter. The stuff that I don't constantly see doesn't matter. (I'll point out the inconsistency of the HTC design, with its completely unnecessary "3 megapixels" distinction, that plastic bump (is that for headphones?), and the generally odd feel of the items' positioning. The iPhone, on the other hand, is almost entirely centered, save the tiny camera hole appearing directly underneath the locking button. My talk about the one button referred again to the front of the phone only. Using the iPhone OS, there is a total of one button you use to navigate. The other three buttons are insanely minimal in purpose: Two for volume, one for turning off the display. You know this, of course, but you've decided to snipe meaninglessly, as also you know that the connector port by no means counts as a button, and that even were you to count it as a button, the iPhone would still have fewer buttons overall than the Hero has visible on the front alone. I'd point out the feel of those buttons and how much poorer the buttons of the Hero look from the shots taken, but that's getting pointlessly involved in an argument we shouldn't be having in the first place. I'm sorry my post was too long for you; if you'd like, tell me and I'll attempt to summarize my posts so you can legitimately join in this conversation. |
