Yeah I normally try my best to speak for the 'silent majority' on these boards, but I can't bring myself to defend the 'sheep mentality'.  You try to make sense as to which is the enticing feature unique to the iPhone that makes it so desirable, and more often than not it's superficial aesthetics, or 'just because'.  There's nothing wrong with it obviously, but when did we all become such mindless drones that the media can manipulate so easily? 

Speak for yourself, only yourself and that way you won't insult anyone by making assumptions about what other people want. Theres no sheep mentality, there are just people who get pissy about other peoples choices which have nothing to do with them.

I didn't mean to offend anyone - people have their reasons and don't have to justify them to me.  Fair enough.  Generalisations are for simple minds.  I'm done with the pretentious social commentary into the psychology of the iPhone consumer now...
