Buy M8 even if more expensive than iPhone?

All you ever do is tell people why they shouldn't buy something, which is just negative and so often not true.

I also tell them why they SHOULD (wait to) buy something (M8). I'm letting people know what's better on the M8. I can't stop them from buying an iPhone. I'm not the one who has the money, but I am letting them know about the differences from the iPhone.

The iPhone is nearly a year old so the M8 has to be better.

@skinny if you're not a fanboy i don't know who is

@topic my two year old phone has bluetooth and a2dp so iphone must have it...no...come on at least a2dp, it's a music phone for peeps sake...no...*part where normal people say fcuk it and fanboys jerk off and insult everybody that hurts steve's feelings*

Since a 16GB version of the M8 will be available, it would be more fair to compare it with the 16GB iPhone, which came out in February.

This must by far be the most pointless rant I've read about lately.

Do you want to know the only important differance between the iPhone and the m8? The iPhone is released and is getting it's second version soon. The m8 lacks a release date after 18 of first hearing about it, and is only giving us a weard test version....

Hear, hear. There is little difference as let's face it, the M8 is a top quality iPhone alternative. So dont get lairy at people that have iPhones or iTouches.

No actually the m8 has no appearant meaning in the smartphone-market because it is not released. An alternative isn't an alternative if I can't walk into a store and buy the thing instead of an iPhone. Also you're already declaring the m8 top-quality, when they themselves say that they're having trouble having the GUI run smoothly.

Don't worry about me getting lairy.

i've just read the diamonds review and i'm impressed they say the audio player has it's problems but i don't care that much for that, if it had a bigger screen i would buy regarless of price

yes the 16GB came out in February but the M8 hasn't even come out yet so you cannot compare something that does not exist

And how can some of you comment on quality of the M8 when it hasn't even been released?
