this baby has officialy rel in taiwan costs around 750$ can MB please do a review on this ... this site is 2 SE and Nokia centric

[lloydo]

I wouldn't say it is SE/Nokia centric, I'd say it's more focused on the US market. But with the recent additions of Brendo and Brad's promotion (?) the Asia-Pacific region may be in luck...

[carcomptoy]

Really? A lot of our discussions are about non-US phones. Take for example this one...and a lot of the Nokias and SEs we talk about. Indeed I think it is more EMEA-centric...a lot of major contributors afterall come from those regions

[lloydo]

I totally agree the forum discussion is mainly non-US. But the main site articles and news are usually about phones and operators I've never heard of, i.e. in the US! Damn Americans

[carcomptoy]

Well, that's because Michael lives in the U.S.

In any case, this thread is about the Asus 525

[hotzigetty]

yess and about the review (or lack of one!)

[brad]

MobileBurn is and has always been US and EU centric, but as the About page says, we don't LIMIT ourselves to these markets. The main reason we don't cover the smaller Asian brands much is because they are more of a 'novelty' to our main readership of US and EU residents. That is not to say the we ignore everyone else, I try and cover as much other region news as possible, and we have some things in the works that will add to that as well, we just don't have the resources to cover everything.

That being said, two of our reviewers, Jin and Sam, are in Malaysia and Hong Kong respectively, and as such give us reviews of some devices that we normally wouldn't get our hands on (such as the Asia-only LG M6100 currently on the front page). So while we primarily cover US and EU, they are not the only things here.

Now, as for the Asus, we don't have any relationship with them at the moment, and we don't have the manpower to review everything that is released. I do agree that some of there stuff is interesting though, so maybe we can get something happening in future.

What I will say though, is that I don't believe that MB is Nokia/SE centric, they just have a lot of high-profile handsets. Eight of our last ten reviews were not from either Nokia or Sony Ericsson, by the way.
