I also talked about S60 and mentioned an iPhone app because of a feature request/suggestion. I think it's more on the subject than bashing the so called 'mactard' iPhone users.

we need a moderator to filter the comments coming in here. It simply amazes me and disheartens also, how a simple forum can get people into abusing each others nationalities!
Come on, if you are using a smartphone, you ought to have brains also which directs you to say reasonable things without offending our sensibilities.
I am a very proud indian and would mind being called stupid and i agree every american worth his/her cent or dollar would mind being called stupid.
I frankly believe there was no wrong in the first comment. If someone is using iphone and compares s60 calculator to iphone's, whats the big deal?
Probably we need to take comments in a more sporting way, manner.
I have n 82 which carries out a lot of work for me. Iphone probably will have some functionalities which will not work that well on my phone, so, should i go and bam iphone on the things that my phone can do and iphone can't? What will i get out of that? Some sadist pleasure?
This forum is supposed to tell us whats new is coming and how well can it work for us. Simple.
This forum is open to everyone. Anyone can log in and put forward their views. If iphone fanboys log in and put forward their views, take it, because you have let them access to it. If you do not like it, ban them from the forum.

I hope you understand I was just making my point to the other guy and not actually trying to offend people from India. As an American I found that "stupid Americans" comment very offensive and tried to point that out. He didn't understand so I came up with an example to make it clear.
If you felt offended, please don't. It was just an example of a hypothetical statement molded in the same way of his.
