Somewhat wrong aswell. Things like 3300 was first nokia music phone (no 5510 would have been the first one), and that 3330 was the follow-up !! Wow must be quiet a few 3330 owners that didn't realise they had music phone. :) For someone like eldar those poor mistakes.

Also the discussion about the camera shutter having to joystick is simply wrong. The phone specifically has buttons on the other side of the keymat for photo use (shutter, zoom, stop) are all there, and are perfectly placed and sized for the use. For eldar to say that the buttons are too small is just wrong. If he finds it easier to use the joystick then the guy must have some very strange grip on the phone !!

The only thing that I find lets it down is the screen. Same resolution as N70 but the S60V3 sw just makes its look worse.

I'd certainly buy one ... well if I didn't already have one ;)

lol, I remember those 5510 adverts. Coolio.

I thought the 3330 was like the one after the 3310:confused:

The 3250's surprised me with its size, it looks quite(relatively)small!

Also the pictures taken. The review says 3250 and k750i, that means 3250 on the left right?

The 3250's images don't seem that bad, but then again these k750i ones weren't that good.

Eldars review software was from around xmas time. There have been music and photo improvements since then ... although he says that the software won;t change, just talking it down again.

i always feel we must take MR reviews with two pinches of salt, one pinch for inacurracies, one pinch for being lost in translation

[Moby]

..and a further pinch for not wanting to like any Nokia phones, or rather for pointing out the smallest "problem" and emphasising it. Which they would ignore on most other handsets

[Samm]

I have noticed Eldar's bias as well. Anybody care to venture the reason behined his bias?:confused:

[Jose_R.A.M]

Maybe because most people are bias to a particular model. Hes just willing to show it.

[Viipottaja]

Another BS M-R review.. old firmware, pre-production, confusing read, inaccurate facts and translation. ;)

[crazyze]

I think this entire thread sums up everything to do with MR, fanboy ranting added to the rest of the problems above!

I have noticed Eldar's bias as well. Anybody care to venture the reason behined his bias?:confused:

I think it's because he would like to endorse sony-ericsson phones more than nokias? I have noticed too that most of his reviews of nokia phones are not that "exciting" to read.


tnx-1clk

[Viipottaja]

I am not sure he is biased, I simply think the reviews are not reliable for any brand, except for the rare exception in which he reviews and actual production model.

Anyway, sorry Michael for flaming on your site. :) Although, is there a bit of an over enthusiasm in your W950 news brief? ;) Lol.. just messing with you and I admit to being a primarily Nokia (fan) boy! :)

[Jose_R.A.M]

Well thread closed - nothing much happening except MR bashing. Im sure you wouldnt want to read MB being bashed in another forum. (Not that they could, you know because it is perfect. :p j/k)
