Reviewing iPhone may be dangerous

17 Aug, 2007
For five days now Mobile-review.com - a great resource for mobile news and reviews is under Denial of Service (DoS) hacker attacks. These persistent attacks come from thousands of computers...

No wonder I could not access Mobile Review. Apart from GSMArena, Mobile Review has always been one of my favorite review sites offering great in-depth looks into each mobile phone.

I hope Mobile Review gets back on its feet soon and fend off this venomous threat.

        It's such a shame that people tries to shut some others thoughts by doing this kind of acts. I can't imagine who did this, but something is already known and it is that "Apple" or an iPhone lover felt offended with the review they made on mobile-review.com and.
        In my opinion : We all know that Apple is a very disctinctive brand known by many people if not by all, but the are relatively new on the Phone Industry it's their first try doing a SmartPhone I Think, if they couldn't do something as good as other brands such as: SE or Nokia they should continue trying until they get something better.
        C'mon Apple you can do it.
        and mobile-review.com I am with you guys! keep the hard work!

            I bet it's Apple doing this :D
            They have the money and computers,
            And they want to sell their "smartphone" (Hint the sarcasm).
            There not gonna let some site,
            To decrease sales of their product.

              i can't believe someone in this would would be so childish and be such a big baby about a web-site that everyone (well most) loves, for publishing a review of the i-phone, which may have slated it, cos in my opinon it is crap, but still that's what i love about Mobile-Review, it gives true and acurate information about mobile phones.

              Mobile Review get better soon, and note that the majority of us are behind you 100%.

              P.S. i wish i knew who did it cos i'd blow their pc up, it just makes me so angry.

              Sorry everyone, i've sounded off now!!!!!

                what the hackers did was:
                1. bring the attention to the flaws of the iphone
                2. give more publicity to MR


                hail to free speech !

                  Well, their review on iPhone was quite true and pretty reliable.
                  As I also have been dismayed about iPhone..i think its much more better, its like waiting for nothing actually.

                    We have a good site brought down by hackers, so let's curse whoever's doing the hacking and forget about the iPhone thing!

                        i love to read articles on mobile review website. few days ago i opened the website but it didn't open. i read about the DOS attack on Google and learnt that the website if under attack. today when i visited the gsm arena website i got known the whole thing that iphone is behind this DOS attack on mobile review website. its very sad to learn such attack. the mobile review is a great website and they always call a spade a spade. keep up the good work mobile review team. BRAVO! i hope the mobile review team will make the website online again soon. i thank the gsm arena team for publishing the information about mobile review attack. in this way all the visitors are informed and learnt what happened. thanks.

                          Hi
                          The attack on MR is a terrorism without bomb and blood, which has to be condemned. I always have appreciated the work of MR on bringing out good reviews. Dont bother MR we are with you.

                            Apple,or any other electronics manufacturer,have a lot of examples on the market to follow.They had a lot of time to learn and improve(based on the competition´s success and failure)how a true multimedia device should be.They,as i see it,delved,head first,on developing the UI,"minimizing" the importance of connectivity,functionality and/or compatibility to some extent.The iPhone is(as said before)a capable device,but for who? Perhaps Aplle users or people that,in fact,don´t really bother about "technical details",just go for the looks,or are misinformed.The marketing bomb´s sockwave made a lot of people overlook the true essence of a multimedia device and now,many of them are maybe staring to their iphones and concluding that(after the initial WOW)it´s just smoke without fire.

                            Mobile Review is doing a good job keeping people aware about communications technology and devices,and the appenings,just show how big they´ve become and how crucial the information on their site is.Furthemore i can say that a couple of my last phones were bought based on reviews shown on Mobile Review and GSMarena.

                            As far as the attack goes,it sounds like heavy stuff but i hope that Mobile review recover´s fast and never be afraid to tell the truth behind gold over blue.

                              it seems freedom of speech in the great america has come to an end. apple iphone is truly a dispicable phone it is JUST a FASHION phone so i think the sooner we accept this the better. why should people do this because they love the phone is beyond me. if a set of persons want to settle for mediocirty then fine but please do not try to hurt the ones who are forever striving for excellence. i think these actions are travesties which the perpetrators should be dealt a hard hand. Again the iphone is simply ridiculous so get over it.

                                I contribute to MR and whoever has done this will not win. MR will be back and attacks like this simply raise the profile and interest in MR! MR wins whatever the outcome!

                                    i completely agree with Tytn the hackers sure have a connection with a 'well known' company and maybe they are paying them for this. Whatever the truth....time will tell!
