Of the $13.8 billion worth of returned products in 2007, only 5 percent were because gadgets were actually broken, according to a 2008 study.

It should be noted that this Symbian Guru is NOT the same as Ricky Cadden, also known as Symbian-Guru from www.Symbian-Guru.com. I believe Ricky is also an Engadget contributor.

I don't think Engadget bashes the 5800. They've given early impressions based on comparisons to the only similar device, the weakling iPhone. Only thing is this is alot more technologically advanced than an iPhone, so it will never be as simple one. It will take the Engadget team awhile to understand that, and then they'll be able to point out the multitude of extras the iPhone lacks instead of mentioning what Nokia didn't (thank God...) copy from an iPhone.
They should give up their iPhones for a 5800 for a month to get a better perspective on the new device and OS. I do all my reviews that way, and it helps. I happen to love my Nokia N95 8gb, and nothing comes close, so I have to put it away for awhile when doing a trial to avoid clouding my objectivity.
No. Look at the recent 5800 Russian launch article. Totally unjustified bashing, calling the 5800 dissapointing, using quotation marks around the word flagship and the article in general had a very negative tone to it. They didn't even mention that atleast 1000 people showed their interest in the 5800 at that store but instead tried to put a negative spin on the fact that Nokia sold 120 5800s in less than an hour.
That particular article really dissapointed me. Why are Engadget hiring editors that should be working for Gizmodo? That's the kind of site I would expect such an article to be posted on, not on Engadget Mobile.
To clarify, Ricky Cadden is not an Engadget contributor.
