You'd be surprised how many people just buy a smartphone because it's the 'cool' thing to do. Nowadays phones are like fashion accessories, mesti ikut trend.

I have know countless of people who buy iPhone not for apps, but because everyone has one and they look cool with it. (They barely even know how to operate the phone.) They end up using Facebook, call and SMS only .

I also know a lot of people who buy a BlackBerry for the 'coolness' factor of being a 'business person'. Even though they're just students...

 

most of my frens are also particular about the customization and abundancy of apps. they think that the custom rom in android phone is so great and they also keep mentioning that android and iphone have many apps while WP7 has no apps.

I try to explain to them that actually customization is only for show only, not practical at all because it does not affect much on the function/feature. also, actually the apps on android and iphone are many but many are repeated also. in fact, WP7 has less apps but the major apps eg angry bird, whatsapp can also be found in WP7. when i wan to explain, they just don't believe and they even condemn me because i am promoting a rubbish.. they think that i am stupid to support WP7. they just wan to be mainstream and afraid of ppl laughing at them for using WP7. so i really have nothing to say, i also lazy to argue with them anymore.

I will support WP7 as long as it suits me no matter what other ppl say
