kudos:12 | Fanboy-ism! Product zealotry is so funny to me.
It's just a damn phone that has problems that are well documented by every major news/tech site. Yet the minute the product is held up as anything but the pinnacle of all technology with a chorus of angels singing in the background, the product owners attack like rabid dogs.
Are you trying to justify your purchase? Are you angry because you spent so much money to be cool and now people are starting to find flaws and say, "Hey wait, this isn't that cool!"
If anything, you should scream the LOUDEST to get Apple or AT&T to fix it.
Additionally, if you think the financial analysts don't know what they are talking about, you need your head examined. They are in charge of millions to billions of dollars and are paid very well to manage it. If their job was so easy, everyone would do it because, contrary to popular belief, there is a ton of money in making money for other people. Just Google how much the Top 10 Hedge Fund manager made last year. It probably starts close to a billion per year. |

That's precisely why they know nothing. Their job is to generate revenue for their clients. Stock fluctuates on the drivel coming from their mouth. And that's how they manipulate the market. Say something bad, get the stock down, buy lots. Have someone else say something good, stock goes up and sell. You make lots of $$ and so do your clients.
See the "Oil Crisis" for how speculators play the market.
In short, analysts have been so wrong for so long it's not funny.
That being said, I'm sure there are those with iPhone issues. It's just not me. I think it's the CDMA 3G network that needs tuning. Verizon went through this a while ago (in 2002-2004 the NOTwork was just awful) and it will get sorted out in time. Google CDMA Breathing to see what I'm talking about. |

Go browse ATM...there is no chorus of angels singing the praises of the 3G.
There are some who aren't having problems saying they haven't had problems, and a lot who are having problems and are saying they're having problems. It's just like MobileMe. I haven't had problem and say I haven't had problems. meanwhile a lot of others have had problems and say they have problems.
This myth that the collective Apple user army is somehow conspiring to support the unsupportable is about as realistic as the one button mouse and proprietary video rants. |

If you don't think there's manipulation and other dirty deals going on, I feel sorry for you - you should get out more often.
The Analysts and other big names are more worried about short term vs long term thinking. It's the long term that generally results in better returns. |

Exactly.. why do you think the job title is 'FINANCIAL Analyst'? They look for the MONEY, not the tech. Of all people, I'd trust an 80-year-old grandma more than a financial analyst when it comes to tech comments. What do you think drives our financial market? Honesty and integrity? If you actually believe that B.S, YOU need to have your brain examined.... |
