So Engadget is a big dumbass!

Lol I stopped visiting Gizmodo for their "not so honest" reviews of Nokia smartphones. I saw a similar trend in engadget too. I soon realised that it's the problem with USoA. Those poor chaps are enslaved by their carriers and can only buy a select few phones from their manufacturers. Now Nokia is not favoured by any of the carriers (read = subsidised) So naturally they don't like it.

We however pay full price for everyphone and "own" our carriers and not the other way round. Also Nokia's focus on the Asian market means NA has poor idea about Nokia to begin with. Their best competition was the Motorola which err...lets not get there. Until the iPhone revolution their offerings were far inferior to Nokia counterparts.

To summarise, Don't look for "Nokia" reviews from an American website. They might as well have a T-Mobile sidekick rather than the N95 back in the days of yore. Their reviews are skewed especially for anything that does not read iPhone. It's a pity considering the quality of literature that comes from them, not to mention the popularity.

@CompAddict:

Engadget is more like a Marketing/PR front for Apple (I even have a feeling that they get paychecks from Apple) than a mere fanboi site. So its definitely no wonder if someone is whimsically banned for a criticism.

That was the last comment I saw on Gizmodo too before I left it for good, forever. It's a pity engadget is falling in its ranks too. Quite a shame.

No. I spent a really long searching for the damn comment. Couldn't find it.

And yeah guys, I barely check engadget. I used to make honest (and sometimes sex related) comments there which brought the 210 odd comments with 810 odd likes on them P).

But in the last few months I barely checked the site anyways. Infact this would be my 10th comment in nearly 4 months I believe. So yeah, I'm good. Just 1 link less from my big bookmark list.

And yeah, they hate Nokia, pretty much like Phonearena's new writer.

EDIT: Forgot the purpose of this reply oops, after reading everyone's replies.

I wanted to say, the reason why I wrote "Dumbass" is directly a consequence of me devoting much of my daily 24 hours to "The Big Bang Theory" (for those who understand the reference, cheers!)
