Come on, where is the research and where is the balance in this story here?

"a capable device that just falls short of knocking Apple's creation off the top perch."

OK, what do you backup that statement with?  Nowhere to be seen in the entire article. 

"Photo quality is as I would expect for a phone camera, as is video playback."

In other words, is the Nokia 5800 3mp camera better than the iPhone's 2mp without auto-focus camera?  Why not state it as it is?  Must be hard for him/her to admit iPhone isn't perfect at everything.

"The 5800 comes with a GPS receiver and Nokia's map service (free to use but you'll be charged for data usage), "

Pardon?  Charged for data usage?  You don't need to download data to use the maps with GPS.  Research the facts.  Google isn't always a good friend.

Oh wait, if the article keeps referring back to the iPhone, why not mention the iPhone has no integrated GPS and no free maps?  Hmmm...

"The XpressMusic 5800 a great phone but Apple's offering pips it at the post - just."

Tell us about the "offerings".  Don't just state what you think, readers need the facts. 

I am not moaning because I am a Nokia fan.  I am moaning because I cannot stand reviewers writing as if they understand or know the facts.  Write with balance and compare apples with apples.  Statements such as"Apple's offering pips it at the post" needs to be backed-up.  Otherwise it's simply an article to advertise how Apple's products are better.
