In mobileburn's review they state: "In the end, the Nokia E63 is just a fantastic little device." while according to Engadget they see it as "not a huge disappointment". A little difference in the tone, maybe?

A couple of weeks ago mobileburn's review of 5800 was noted here. Engadget's tried to focus on all of the negative points in the review, but in the end had to admit that mobileburn thought the tube was "not bad". In the actual review they state "We'll reserve final judgement on the 5800 XpressMusic until we get our hands on a production device, but suffice it to say that so far, so good."

Not to mention how they managed to trash an early pre-production model of N97.

WinMo is awesome and really expandable, but lets admit it that the UI is really ugly and hard to use for many people.. I don't know about Symbian as I haven't used it lately, but like I said I was disappointed with it when I last used it, because I used to be a Nokia boy, having my first phones be Nokia's.. I don't know about RIM as I've never used one, but I see some people complaining about them.. Mobile OS X does have its flaws, surely, but what it advertises to do, it does well.. I still need to find a mobile OS as easy and clean to use as Mobile OS X (OK, TouchFlo is really close, but it doesn't go all the way :(), which after all is what a phone is really about.. and if you jailbreak you iPhone, the possibilities are almost endless (at least thats what I thought when I had it).. the addition of copy and paste and flash in the browser might make me swap my Touch HD back for an iPhone, as WinMo really is not too intuitive even after playing around with it and changing it around as much as I could.. And I still keep my Nokia 6230i in my bag whenever I travel, cause you never know what can happen with these newer phones..

For those too lazy to read that, I'll make it short here.. This is by no means an iPhone killer as it is not aimed at the same people.. Hardware wise, there probably are many iPhone killers, but it all comes down to the OS.. After a phone in todays world is something you need to rely on in the worst situations.. Imagine you need to call the police or something, and your WinMo phone would need a hard reboot or something.. I think I should have stayed with my Nokia 6230i as it has everything a phone needs, but I guess I'm just too spoiled :x]]>Dec 8th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/Dec 8th 2008 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/
You think these guys are biased? At least they dont sh*t all ove reverything that isn't apple related, they are decent enough to say "seems okay" and "looks decent"

Gizmodo will just say "mediocre compared to the isheet" or "coule be better (a a icrap)"

I hate Giz so much I'm about ready to start a Gizmodo hate site.]]>Dec 8th 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/

I mean come on. You have to admit that "fantastic" and "not a huge disappointment" aren't exactly synonyms.

@Aaron:

Maybe they are being bribed, maybe they aren't . But i have to admit, that every apple discussion on almost every single handset review must be generating some good traffic, which translates into Ad revenues.]]>Dec 8th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/Dec 8th 2008 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/Dec 8th 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/nokia-e63-review-just-about-what-youd-expect-it-to-be/
