I totally agree, specially for the Endgaget photos review, if I dare call that a review, at the first picture I saw the cheat.
it looks obvious that the pictures have not been taken by the same way.
what it's very disappointing for me, is their readers posted comments, based on that pictures, and didn't realize the cheat. I'd believe that they are all apple fanboy ;)
I used to consider all the phone reviews to be taken with a pinch of salt, and by reading all of them, trying to cross the information and what is always brought out and seems true.
It's in charge of the readers to take that into account, one review of a phone, has never been enough to base our own judgement before buying or not a phone.
btw, Thanks to you GsmArena to have highlighted this unfair behavior and to help naive people to be warn.

Anonymous, 03 Oct 2010If symbian is so nice, why other manufacturers like sony, s... moreOh, I was waiting for that argument. How good were the SE and Sammy Symbian smartphones going up against the Nokia's Symbian smartphones? I'll answer it for you: they were poor and small. They couldn't even compete with Nokia's offerings on price and they paid little regards to firmware updates as well. I had an Omnia HD i8910 and it was poor besides all the customizations and multitasking. Samsung left us in the dust.
Android is short-term for them. This is them competing with Nokia in the smartphone region since they couldn't when they were using Symbian. Samsung is utilizing their resources into the Bada platform and will be moving their phones onto that OS once they get it up to speed. Have you played with Bada? It's fast, accurate and a good experience, and once it gets 3rd party support, it will be incredible.
As for Sony Ericsson, they can't support worth a damn. I love that company but the X10 is an outdated Android phone out of the gate, running 1.6 with no multitouch support and other plagues. But hey, at least they sold a lot. I wish them luck with the update to 2.1.......Notice how I said update to 2.1 and not 2.2....

Why???
See, all phones (3 years ago) have slower and cheaper technology than competition! Thats reason WHY loose race!
N8 is FIRST amoled from Nokia (1,5 year late and loose race)
Why N97 not have 680mhz cpu? (in 2009 this speed is relative)
680mhz for 2010/2011 is NOT GOOD!
Competition have much more powerful phones and technology than N8!
Stupid people only see "metal body, camera and fm transmitter"...
It's NOT point for GOOD phone!!!
GOOD phone today MUST BE FAST and USEFUL!!!
N8 is NOT useful!!!

The only problems I see with the nokia n8 and symbian 3 is the fack that there is no multi touch when typing , when typing message you are taken to a different screen where u can see the original screen you were on and the web browser is not that fast and there is no muti page support and the pinch to zoom is not inconsistent. Other than that it is a perfect phone for some one who does not want a keyboard
