Your 100% right; but that's the problem in marketing this thing. We here come from the tablet-world and some of us are glad the tablet now has a built-in phone, too... so glad that they don't care much if it's a good phone. (And, frankly, if you're the target group, you probably won't even notice.)

But as it is, a device by Nokia that holds a SIM card and will ring when somebody dials your cell phone number will be just a phone for 98.17% of the consumers. This is the new Nokia phone! And as a phone, it can do less than previous models. It can't do MMS, it can't do video calls, it can't sync with a web service, you cannot use your bluetooth keyboard with it...

There's a chance that consumers will be disappointed by all this. All I'm saying is that it's good reviewers tell them in advance so that people have the correct expectations. And I don't see the point of bashing reviewers who do just that.
