Indeed we have several reviewers actually, and i think we (Mobile-review) are proud of the fact that Eldar and his staff call it EXACTLY how they see it.
The exact source and nature of this attack is actually uncomfirmed by anyone from MR on an official basis.
I liken it to Internet terrorism, Just because some group or individual disagrees with YOUR opinion, they try and eradicate your ability to even GIVE an opinion.
Evil minded bigots such as those who attacked SE-NSE and M-R must not and cannot be allowed to trample on YOUR ability to voice YOUR opinions!!
But like the petty, simple minded infantiles that they are, they will get bored, and move on to the next poor guy who happens to voice an opinion that they lack the courage or intellect to challenge in a manner that befits a rational human being.

Wow!
So Eldar posted a review that let people know exactly what they were getting for their hard earned dollars?
I think most people will agree that the American iPhone would be up for a very hard time when compared to offerings in other parts of the world; I don't exactly know what else they thought Eldar was going to say about it.
If its gonna be billed as the greatest, most amazing device ever then it is going to be scrutinized. No-one (well not many) is daft enough to blindly accept any old rubbish thats thrown at them.

applaud and praise its perfection!
they were upset because Eldar opened their eyes to see the fact that they forked over a lot of bucks for only a fancy UI nothing more!

Well people would expect nothing less; MR has its reputation to think of.
God help us if Eldar advised people to throw away their N95's and consign their HTC's to history in favour of the iPhone, I think I would have attacked him myself

personally i think the review was balanced and accurate. Each point is set out in black and white - it's the iphones own shortcomings that paint such a poor picture, not the reviewer.

Hi all,
Firstly what they are doing is illegal and nothing short of bullying to stop people saying something they don't like. I hope they don't go to HOWARD forums and see some of the horror stories emerging about iPhone problems on there. As there seem to be plenty the latest i have seen is the famous touch flow strip starting to malfunction and the Finnish company that developed it admitting it can develop reliability problems after just 6 months of use.
Freedom of speech is IMO one of the most basic and important principles we have in the world and anyone that can't bare to hear criticism of any mobile device or anything else for that matter is seriously not well. You don't have to agree with what is said but to over react with this type of behaviour is just wrong. Personally i hope the authorities are involved and track them down and prosecute them with the full force of the law.
@Goldenface
Even if he did it is only his opinion it doesn't mean every one has to agree or do as he suggested do they?

Exactly and well said!
They must have held Eldar in very high regard and were expecting lovely things in the review. The problem for them is, Eldar gave a very honest and common-sense review which was backed up with solid reasoning and they must have been heart-broken to discover he didn't fall for its charms.
Its vitally important that forums and reviewers are allowed to express their opinion freely and this only harden other peoples opinions.
Nobody likes a bully.

if it is indeed teamelite who brought down Mobile review then there is little anyone can do to stop them.... they use dc++ to redirect people off their hub and onto various websites there members have issues with...
its been done to se-nse but the person who did it was sloppy and hopefully will get what they deserve.... but they r learning and prob will and can attack any site they feel like...
