If Eldar's previous "reviews" and articles weren't enough, in a list compiled by him regarding some of the more prominent handsets this year (classified in different categories), the only things the Satio, Aino and Pureness receive are frowns (literally) and negative comments. I mean, I can oftentimes understand his frustration, but I think he's going a tad too far.
Here's the link:

Honestly, I myself could hardly be more satisfied with my Satio (not saying there aren't a few small quirks that still need fixing) and I'm thoroughly enjoying using it, so seeing it at the bottom of the list got me a bit angry. To think I had though it would get some kind of award from Eldar.
I don't even know why I'm getting annoyed by this guy any more. For me, his credibility as an unbiased news source is now completely gone.

I think he is a little anti-SE but SE are not doing things right thats for sure (talk about software/firmware issues and missing things). Satio is the living prove of it. Great hardware let down by software. When SE decided personalize and remove a lot of things they have made S60v5 worst than already is with Nokia. Let me put it this way... they give 3 steps further and 1 step back so its a bit frustrating i must admit |

Well that's just hilarious. I can't believe he went this far. But the Satio I agree with. Screwing around with Symbian only leads to trouble. |

Even if SE perfected Satio to the very last detail they will never ever going to get sweet words from Eldar cause there's already a rift between them. It's not about the devices anymore. It had become politics. |

So we all agree that SE need improve in some area, but when elder say something about it then SE become perfect company and don't need any improvement and at the end He is mark as an anti-SE man.
In Esato, we discuses threads over threads about problems about our SE’s mobiles but nobody are listening. Like we complained about Fast Port thousand times but they again bring that back on Satio where others company offer m-usb port. They always release phones with unfinished firmware which actually never test with daily basis use. Why?
So if anybody shouting then let him/her shouting, at the end if there will be any benefit then we actually have not the ELDER. |

We would have listened to Eldar if he hadnt marked the N97 as one of the greatest mobiles of all times at launch. If thats the case, the satio shouldnt be far off wither. |

I like the fact that he bashes SE where it matters most, other reviewers aren't making enough mark in their say. But when Eldar takes it to a point where he is not being taken seriously anymore by SE, well I can't see anything good coming out of this anymore. IMHO SE should give him what he wants because it is essentially what WE want too isn't it?

I have to agree with se_love here, Motorola did the right thing by wholly concentrating on Android. Having too many smartphone OS'es isn't a smart thing to do. |

No see...I hate Symbian overall. That's where my point comes from. |

You guys still think that Eldar is doing all this for SE's good?
According to him, switching to microsd and microusb is copying nokia and you guys think that guy is sane? |

I sure as hell don't think its sane but....is there a point in universalizing every single phone to have MicroSD, MicroUSB, and the keyboard? No there isn't.

I hardly read his reviews and articles anymore, simply use them to see real pics of the phones he is reviewing, saying that SE using MicroSD and MicroUSB is copying NOKIA is pretty messed as those are gaining popularity with other brands to,to make our lives easier when switching,but i do agree with his valid points,pointing out the negatives/weak points etc. . . .as ive said before i WISH he did the same to NOKIA as they have their heads so far up their own arses its not even funny.

Im just wondering why you even bother to read anything Eldar says if it gets you so shaken? Even as a loyal reader,well used to be of M-R i got bored of him not focusing enough on the phones but on the company and all the other crap.

Trust me, under different circumstances I would have ignored his babbling. The thing is, as I mentioned in my post, I've grown so satisfied with my Satio (even more than my C905 or K810 when I first got those) that when I found out how he completely dissed it, it probably irked me more than it would have otherwise. And this thread is probably an unnecessary way of expressing my discontent.
Another reason for me being upset is the fact that there are many people out there who actually believe his nonsence. Big news sites, for one.
And I'm not saying he's completely wrong, but just look at how he's just praising the other phones (including the N97), as though they themselves have no faults whatsoever.
