"Apple makes its things great by leaving features out, Nokia somehow believes that adding more makes its products great. Maemo suffers from that, but it isn’t something Nokia can’t fix – quickly."
True fanboy...now if Apple releases the "left-out" features in an update, everyone praises them.
I, for one, like to have lots of features on my phone.

Actually his review was fairly balanced IMO. I did post with some info for him though.

And yes, his review IS fairly balanced. He goes to great lengths to point out the good aspects of the device and the overall tone is that he is (a) surprised at its polish and (b) warmed to it despite prior bias.
I think those bashing his article are speed-reading or skipping.

I think he left out a few things from the article so that people here questions the 'formulation' of the final 6/10 score.
Otherwise I think it's a good article with good comparisons.
PS: Oh hey, check out this quotation from a famous person...
""Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."
Can anyone guess who that is?

Agreed, ysss. Based on his points I would have given the device 7 out of 10.

I appreciate his perspective. He's just a different type of mobilist. He doesn't mind packing his lappy and iPhone. Different mobilists do things differently, which is why we have so many models. If you follow GigaOm, you'd know he's an iPhoner, and people that prefer it have their way of working and playing, and different expectations. Its the sports car/monster truck dilemma. 6/10 is tough, but is the iPhone a 10/10? We don't know...

Guys, this is Om Malik we're talking about here, so please, don't even pretend that anything he says is even remotely relevant and it shows in his review.
His review boils down to "Wow, everything's really awesome, but it's not from Apple. 6/10!"
If you trust this guy, then you probably also get your news from The Onion.

As far as the "genius" of leaving things out. I will take an OS that gives ME the choice to leave something out or include it thanks.

I'm as guilty as this guy...every touch screen phone I'm going to get I'll have to compare it with iPhone, because that just fits my life style more. I'm just staying away from it now because of my gadget blood
