if that is the case seems like i shudve gone for the HTC desire. Dunno why n900 didnt get a better spot :( iphone still came in 2nd, that sucks!
Majority of the handsets that got good rating were htc.
Im guessing these reviewers dont know jack about much and they just make anything look good they favour.
