Pre-order buyers got hosed, opinions do matter.
That is why I insist on always testing it myself before I spend the money. Reviews will only tell me if it worth my time to go and test the device.

Reviewers can be pertinent if, and only if, you have been following the writer for a long time and know for sure that he/she has taste similar to yours. In any other case you are risking big.

Will you go buy an iPhone after reading a review made by a fan ? Really ?
