cnet's iPhone review

by jCounsel - 6/9/09 5:37 AM

I see the review here:

http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-3g-s/4505-6452_7-33674173.html?tag=smallCarouselArea.0

I see lots of praise, but very little of what is "not included." I know cnet is concerned about advertising (and perhaps my posting will be gone soon...), but I watch Ms. Cha review phones, and she is specific and detailed.

The above referenced iPhone review mentions nothing of a lack of any flash for the camera, but other cnet reviews seem to hammer even the inclusion of LED flash rather than Xenon flash...

I'd like to see a standard review format--what must be covered and what shouldn't be covered so that each review touches on the same issues/features. This process would give cnet a better standard of review, better quality control, and would remove any apparent "bias."

Specifications could be given (CPU, GPU, etc.), and each review should say whether the feature is included. If a reviewer/site "damns" a phone for not having xenon flash, a "smartphone" with no flash should be damned too... Otherwise... why should I expect consistent reviews/opinions?

Just my 2 cents...
