Of course it's sudden because he reports about device for 2011. and he wants to describe it in a few words. Blowing out N900 out of the water says very much about how good something is, right? How many people do you know on the internet that have that kind of connections and that kind of insight in future of mobile phones?
No pics, of course, he wouldn't show us N920 pics because he doesn't want to harm companies that much. If you're going to say "and what about N900!?" - he did a preview week before it's official announcement and said he thinks he cannot harm it that way. He had a N900 from May, so he could do it much much earlier if he wanted to do as much damage as he can. About device for 2011. - other blogs don't know that stuff.

Of course he existed before I heard of him... The reason I noted when I first became aware of him was to show that I had no pre conceptions. The fact that he reported the features of the N900 accurately before the official announcement gained my respect... and I said so. (BTW, a lot of the reviewers I do know can't accurately report device features after an official announcement... so that is saying something good about Eldar, dig? )

I also read with great interest and appreciation his remarks about Nokia and Samsung battling it out to be the dominant player in the future cell phone market.

However, I do not see where he reported what has changed with the N900.

In other words, either the phone always crashed and he failed to report that in his first review or something happened to the phone or his attitude since the first review.

Who knows? Maybe his dog pee'ed on the dang thing.

In any event, this discrepancy in reports remains... and so does my question.
