It shouldn't be that way though, walrus. Reviewers, of all people, should do their homework. Period. Complaining by supposed professionals about the lack of nonadvertised (and especially unintended) features is irresponsible. Those folks have an obligation to their readers to get details correct, and when they don't, they are failing.

Nokia certainly shares responsibility for misunderstandings, but at the end of the day it is up to the reviewers to be accurate.
