Sounds a bit like deciding between AIDS and Cancer to me......
You're an idiot then.
I'd say that was a matter of opinion personally.
If you liken deciding between two colours of phone to deciding which potentially fatal affliction you would rather have... then it's not just going to be my opinion.
Sorry bodhi - idiot comment IMO too. Belittles anyone who has to deal with someone close with cancer or AIDS. It's a fking phone, FFS.

There were no emoticons to suggest you were just taking the piss, so AB's response was totally justified.
You have probably both missed my point i.e they both look st so why worry?

Anyway I felt I was entitled to use such a metaphor, having had cancer myself. Possibly a bit blunt for those who haven't had it but hey. Tis only the internet smile

That's what emoticons are for - as you say, tis the internet, and we can't know everything about your history.

Congrats on beating the cancer though thumbup , whilst I'd personally say there's nothing funny about cancer (my mother had it) I guess if you've gone through the mill you can joke about it. But it's handy to give some clues in bare text otherwise you'll get misunderstood, as per this example...

I have a Black one but that was only because I got it for a price I couldnt say no to, would much rather a White one as they look nicer.

If I had to choose it would be black for me. A friend has a white one and is constantly checking it over to make sure it's clean. I don't think I could handle that.

Congrats on beating the cancer. However, whether you have had it or not it's still a stty comment and entirely pointless.

Your above quote is also wildly inaccurate in my humble opinion and I would hazard a guess in the opinion of most people in this thread also.
