Almost all of his reviews could/should be renamed previews.

they are very helpful actually, it helps make the choice of preordering and waiting to try it out in the store before purchasing.

Thank god for N97 previews, would have kicked myself for preordering that pile of crap

why does everyone keep saying hes well respected, if he was not getting leaked prototypes nobody would even visit is site.
he does not get respect for is writing as far as I'm concerned, its more about people wanting to see is new leak.
i have read some real crap reviews on is site slamming stuff whats gone on to sell a million units a month.
The way i look at it is eldars site is the equivalent of a trashy tabloid what likes to shock for sales. sites like AAS are like the classy broadsheet and i cant wait for there Maemo site to launch

Ahh... Eldar I do like his reviews but after reading his twitter posts he just comes off as some whinny little arse. His reasons for not liking the n900 now seem to change from one tweet to another.

My guess he's just jumping on the Nokia hate wagon with all the other major tech blogs. Don't expect good reviews from Slash Gear, Engadget or Gizmodo either

The screen is resistive, how on earth Engadget and Gizmodo reviews can be positive?!

Eldar confessed to Tim Samoff on Twitter that he has an unauthorized prototype, and he doesn't want Nokia to be able to track it down.

That's actually quite old; older than Nokia World firmware (which was not crippled for PR reasons, what a load of crap).
