    Dublin is becoming a muggers paradise with all these idiots walking along the street with their €500 phones. Asking for trouble.

    This is like the circle of life, first the apple lovers come across as annoying douches. But it does not take long for a hoard of apple haters to develop and overtake the apple lovers.

    Now they are annoying douches. People slagging off the forum where the s3 user was on a bit of a troll was a case in point. That's like a vegetarian posting in a hunting forum or vice versa.

    I have an iPhone 4 that really needs replacement as it has gone slow but whenever I give out about it to my friends, it's not because it's old that it is crap or because it's memory is full, it's because it's an iPhone.

    It's not about having or wanting an iPhone. Best of luck to you, I say. It's about the tantrum throwing "I WANT IT NOW!!!" behaviour exhibited by posters in several threads in the past weeks. "If I don't have it by Monday I AM GONE"

    Not really, there is no market for second hand phones as the network can block the IMEI number rendering the phone useless.

    Yeah, if they stay in Ireland. The EU-wide blacklist isn't really in action yet

    Having read the various foot-stamping threads over the past week, can someone please explain to me why they HAVE to get a new phone on the very day of its release?

    Same reason why some people need to drive a Merc when a Micra can do the same thing. Then they give out that the Merc doesnt have folding mirrors, do you really need folding mirror or just want folding mirrors?

    I don't think that poster was trolling. He was an Apple fan who happened to buy and S3 and then decided to give his opinion to the other Apple users. Some of who may have wanted to see an unbiased view from one of their own. There was no point in him putting it in the android forum as anyone in there already thinks the S3 is better than anything else out there. It wouldn't have started a discussion or debate which is the whole point of this site.

    And I doubt anyone would even raise an eyebrow if a regular from the hunting forum posted saying they went for a meal over the weekend and instead of having a steak they had a salad and saw the benefits of it or vice versa.
