And remember, Engadget is written, primarily, for gadget users. Not developers. They are far more interested in what happens when you turn it on than in how to get root. Other blogs cover how to hack and slash your devices, both for hardware and software.
Engadget (at this point) want all the advantages of journalism (audience, followers, etc) without the duties it involves (to be informed, fact-checking, etc). Almost all their "analysis" pieces are just opinion, and not just only on the mobile field. A pity.
Exactly. But that will always be the problem with most sites like engadget. They have all the traits of a news outlet except for the journalistic integrity.
Engadget mentioned that the N900 doesn't work with some '3' SIMs; in general the 3G is fine, but if you're on a network that's actually called '3', then it might not work at all.

To be fair, Engadget is pretty snarky about everything they write about. It's part of what they do. A form of gadget blog infotainment. You read not so much for the information, as to be entertained by their snarky comments.
I agree that it can be aggravating, asinine, one-sided, and ignorant. I'm not convinced that it's all just directed at Nokia.

Yeah they're pretty snarky about everything (that isn't an iphone).
