I lost all faith in tech reviewers after I read this today:

Ctrl+F and look for Nokia 900 (yeah he spelt it wrong) and you'll see how anti-factual the *****s are.

Ironically, you spelled "spelled" wrong. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spelt) You've ruined all your credibility. Begone! :)

Ignoring the fact the above poster has proved you wrong, here is the difference however: I don't claim to be a journalist of any form. And how has that ruined all my credibility when that was in no way my overall problem with the article?

It seems Nokia 900 owners won’t get a MeeGo update and are stuck with Maemo, an awkward slate-esque operating system which is barely usable as a phone

In the same way you were dismissing the article for being incredible, I dismissed your dismissal of the article on the same grounds of lacking credibility. I say, GOOD DAY! ;)
