Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
I have the Storm and it is very nice. On the flip side im rolling with a MacBookPro made by apple which makes the iphone. both are actually quite sweet.
Yup. And I totally agree that latte is faggy. I'd never order that shit.

That really is a tough question. BlackBerry users tend to be a bunch of self-important assholes, and iPhone users seem to truly believe that people are impressed that they have an iPhone. To be fair, though, I have a BlackBerry and Meeper has an iPhone, and we don't really fit those descriptions. Except for me, I really am a self-important asshole.
I'm going to go with iPhone, because of this one dumb bitch I met that had one. I hated her guts, and wanted to make her eat her iPhone through her nose. Sorry, Meeper.
I have an iPhone. I like it. But it is hardly the "Jesus Phone" everyone makes it out to be. It's more like a Peter or Paul phone. It does a lot, but it hardly walks on water.
I actually don't have any games installed on mine, I think those are more for the 3G model.

Well, then you need to upgrade if you want me to be sufficiently impressed.

This whole stereotype about iPhone users is total bullshit. I, and the people I know with them could give a shit what other people think. Besides, almost everyone has them now, so any elite status that may have once existed is long gone.
Yeah, anybody who thinks they are unique or elite is pretty silly. I see plenty of people using them on metro every day. Owning a smartphone around here is the norm, not the exception.

The Storm is just a crappier version of the iPhone. If it were superior, why would Verizon be talking to Apple about trying to get the iPhone on its network before the Apple deal with AT&T runs out?
I had to switch over from Verizon to AT&T to get the phone. Verizon called me and asked why I changed. I said, "Because I wanted an iPhone." The response was like, "Oh. Okay."
Verizon knows they need to get in on the iPhone or they are going to end up like Sprint, which stayed with Palm way too long.

Nope. I have a whole stable of crazy wenches. It's not as awesome as it sounds.
You all are falling for the classic Capitalist fantasy that your possessions define who and what you are. Your actions are the based on the tools you use and the clothes you wear or the car you drive. Not your actual personality. You should all be locked in a room with Vince and forced to watch him re-enact fight club with Sock puppets.

As a business owner, I was tired of using a phone that didn't allow me to look at PDFs and which didn't sinc well with my computer. Oh, and my old phone simply stopped working.
That, and I can use that iPhone X-Ray thing to fuck with people at swanky parties. It's COOL!

Thats racist. What I cant get my hands on a white berry? where tha white women at?!?!?
It has something to do with a term used by Viet Nam vets, but I forget what it means. I think Ian read it in a book about the Vietnam war.
I've read the book "Our Band Could Be Your Life", and it talks about this in the chapter about Fugazi. I highly recommend this book, the chapters on The Replacements and the Butthole Surfers are real funny.

my favorite story about the buthole surfers is when Amy Carter was at a party of theirs and they rubbed their dicks all over her suitcase right before the valet came to retrieve it. man those guys are weird.

Since when did owning something constitute douchbaggery? I thought douchbag syndrom was being selfish self important materialistic asshole. If in a sense actions speak louder than words and a person who owns something is now a douchebag does that speak to the envy and jealousy of the havenots who dont own those things? Or does it imply that in order to afford those things He would have to have stepped over people and acted like a selfish self important douchebag. Or does it imply that technology is somehow inauthentic and that ludite way of life is purer and implies selflessness and uuuh wait dude what was I uuuuuuuh?
Easily the iphone is douchier. blackberries are for business types and are the corporate standard. iphones are for people who like to surf the web and look important
