Haha. Completely agree about the translation, but in some ways that makes it more exciting in an ambiguous fashion!
I like mobile-review as it does a lot of comparison between the software of older and similar models, with emphasis on the little features - things easily glossed over.
To me, that's really important. It's exciting to know where the changes and improvements have been made.
Edit: I do like this Mobique review also!

Yeah, it's the small things that really count. Especially for us Aussies (and the like) who have to wait even longer for the new phone to come out!

This is intresting. GSM Arena did a review of N80, and praised it like anything! Mobile review bashed the hell out of it. They seriously made it look like a piece of crap.

pheeweiieh,
I was afraid I'd be chased of the site... But having re-read both the review and my little "critique", I don't think I was off the mark. Take this pearl: "That display was very sharp and clear and felt unbreakable. Just after two weeks usage I have already managed to create a small scratch on the display." ...Now, sorry, did he proof by managing to scratch it that it's unbreakable? Cause that's what he's saying. In fairness, the internet is a good place to hone your writing skills, but I think the idea of this site is to make information available... not to confuse. And many people access the forum/site on mobile devices, so that some editing skills, logical thinking and the ability to self-censor one's mouth/fingers is not a bad thing. Non of that of course applies to me... But there are good reviews out there, I agree. And the more reason to post a good one here, isn't it?
I'll be nicer next time!

Actually that little excerpt that you used "That display was very sharp and clear and felt unbreakable." was used to describe the screen of the S700 and not the K800. Just next time, be a bit nicer
Balance your criticisms with a positive comment or something...

I think, when it comes to smartphone's, you have to have experience of handsets that came before it..or the platform in general...mobile review's review of the n80 was quite unfair and stupidly written....a classic case of bias if ever i saw one.

They mentioned it that the prototype they reviewed couple of months back was a lot better.

shaliron,
a) thanks for reminding me of minimal standards of human inter-blahblahblah. You have a point, however I do not believe in it. It doesn't matter if it referred to s700 or k800... I'm talking about the logic, cohesion and coherence of the piece - on a site where things for a number of reasons should be kept logical, short, sweet and to the point. Which of the two phones he was talking about is totally irrelevant in that regard and context. If you don't understand this point, there is no use in this little exchange. B) I absolutely refuse to buy into this"balanced critique" bullshit.
I made it clear that I was possibly a bit over the top, that it wasn't the end of the world,etc, etc... What nonsense to think I should balance something I don't agree with. This isn't lit-crit 101. And, ironically (!!!), part of the problem with the piece was that the author tried too HARD to be text-book balanced, giving exaaaaamples for every little example of every little example... etc., etc... I agree, I could've made it even clearer, that I was a bit over the top, etc., and I could have been slightly nicer to the author, NOT ABOUT THE PIECE! Blimey, call the manners-police! Next time I will send a private message to "the man" so that no delicate little laws shall be compromised. Actually, yes, I admit that would've been tne thing to do in the first place. Or I'll lose my balance...
Almost just kiddin',
adios
