I dont think they do. They are just like us excited about new stuff. When it arrives they give it a look over just like I would personally. Most of their reviews are spot on in my opinion-as far as stuff I would like is concerned- and they have disappointments also when the hardware doesnt match the hype. I've met one of thier guys and he(Chris Ziegler) was just as geeked about cell phones like me. He was walking around with the Cliq before anybody else (review unit) and he I were discussing the possibility of Tmobile bringing the N900 into the fold. Evetybody has their views on things and I think that maybe people hate a little too much-(FANBOY Statement) maybe because they are so huge and break so many stories people get jealous cause thier little site doesnt garner any attention. That's all Im saying.
