There is nothing to be lost in calling something stupid if you believe something to be stupid. The article gives a good illustration of why the author believes it is stupid. Calling something stupid does not mean the author is saying there

I agree choice can be confusing. And that is why Apple products standout. Maybe I should have clarified what I like about choice in phones that Nokia or others provide. One aspect of choice which I like is the different pricing options. The

Are you complaining about choice? I just checked out their US site and it is pretty straight forward to search based on features etc. I can understand finding faults with Nokia for not being able to compete effectively against iPhone. But t
