Anotherfanandroid....
First thing I notice is that you seem to trump iphones. A lot. So first thing I do is look at some of your past posts from different threads.
I am not calling you a fanboy, however you are seemingly biased to iphones. Reason I'm saying this, is you make the very classic habit of applying some things that are a matter of opinion as fact. A lot of things iphone you consider the best, while it's subject to user preferance.
The BGR review cannot be taken seriously, for the same reason. And also that there is an emotional influance in there.
I do not, at all think there is a case for some emotion in a review. It should be impartial as possible, and it's not.
Things like this:
I would imagine that most android users in the real world dont have that kind of connection towards their phones; I say this because when you see and talk to the average people who purchase the mt3g, the droid, and the hero, you realize that they are just seeking an iphone substitute; most would have purchased an iphone if they had the chance, the money, or At&T; soon enough, they realize that android is hard to get used to and does not do these essential tasks as easy as the other smart phones.
....point out utter bias. (my bold)
It has to be said, only fanboys give lines like that. Do you honestly think we all secretly want iphones? Or can't afford them?
Seriously, my 5800 suits me best right now, that's over N series, iphones, and whatever else you can suggest. Nearest anything came was the Omnia HD, which I bought and used for a while. Sadly, it was just a tad big enough to annoy me in everyday use. Otherwise it was absolutly fantastic. Cost isn't an issue if it's a phone suitable for me, but it has to be worth it.
I mod at Nokiausers.net and allaboutsymbian. And at the former I have very often discussed how I feel Nokia isn't bringing anything out worth mentioning recently. Hence me being on these forums, I'm seriously thinking of buying a Nexus.
I'm doing my reading, and looking up all the faults, issues and niggles people are having. Something anyone should do when seriously looking for a new phone. After all, it's going to be 100s of pounds that will be spent for something that's used often.
In exactly the same point I made about the BGR stuff, you might well make some good points in your post.
However, in that single line I quoted in bold, makes everything else you say totally irrelevent and not worth reading, because it points to some bias. And that bias could be making false issues out because you seem to want to trump one phone maker.
I am not defending Android, nor am I knocking any other OS/maker. I am pointing out why such reviews and posts are not worth making an opinion on.
