if he really wrote that, then he deserved the attack... a site owner / manager isnt there to judge any device ( espcially with such words ), more to offer and show new models, support and help... if its down, his problem... next time he sluold give more attention and sho more respect imo

@boba
What exactly did he write that provoked such a response?
The site is called Mobile Review. It reviews mobiles, its expected that he gives his opinion!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion so no, he didn't deserve that attack.

then don't prejudge the guy, I read it, and I think it was reasonable and objective that he showed the postives and the negatives of the device, just like EVERY phone he reviewed!

But Esato isn't a review site and Laffen doesn't review phones like Mobile Review.
If Eldar didn't review phones then he wouldn't have the right to call his site Mobile Review would he?
That site is his livelyhood and people are messing with it - thats what it boils down to.

look, what counts is the principal. when some members say some opinions about a fone in a thread, then its up to the mods to judge if it fits the mission of the site or not, BUT if the site owner do that ( he has way too more responsibility then a member ), then thats another story... my point of view is based on the facts what i read here. IF thats true, then he went too far imo...

All he did was give his honest opinion. He wouldn't be a very good reviewer if he only said good things about a phone. He's respected because of his honest in-depth reviews.
Whats so special about the iPhone that he can't say a bad thing about it?
He isn't the only person to give their honest opinion. On other sites the iPhone has been slated a rubbish and emaciated with features.
Lets all attack them too shall we?

agree, iphone isnt a big deal in my eyes either, but if i were a reviwer, i would give a neaural opinion, mainly focused on the facts and then let it share in the forum to discuss. again, a siteowners words count more imo, cos mr isnt a one man show, so eldars "words" effected now many many other ppl aswell,who cant join the place they visit day by day... if an attack is good or bad, thats another story...

Sorry, I wasn't aware there were other reviewers on Mobile Review, I thought it was just Eldar.
But you're right, its not just Eldar thats affected by this either, what about all the mobile-review members that depend on the site for support and information and interact with their online friends, who buy and sell and other stuff?
Imagine Esato being attacked and going down for days on end? 
Doesn't even bear thinking about 
Anyway, I honestly don't think Eldar is the bad guy there.

Yeah, I haven't read the review either and I can't wait to see what he penned to bring on such a sustained attack.

well i cant hardly believe it...
even MR has its forum right?! and every forum has rules, one of them is harsh comments... its very basic and a standard on all other forums like ours...
and all boils down to ethics.. im sure if MR lasted thru these years, eldar has his etiquette well in-tack...
and if its really true that mr is under attack, again a wrong doing cannot right another wrong doing...

Exactly, its pure spite and malice. They must have had a high opinion of MR for them to take his review so seriously.

yes they have, I'm a very active member there, and the article wasn't harsh at all, if you're interested you can read it here on google cache:

btw: the FULL review isn't out yet, this was just an introductory article, I wonder what will happen when the full review is out!
