American "this" or American "that"... you guys are tireless with that. Perhaps the tech blogs in your native or well-liked countries need to be more known.

[On product leaks...]
"They didn't have the final hardware/firmware/software! This is illegal!"
[Upon the first previews...]
"This guy doesn't know what he's talking about!! Let's wait for the official mainstream reviews!!"
[When it's officially released and reviewed...] << YOU ARE HERE
"WTF?? All these clueless bloggers do is just compare [the product] with [the major competitors]!! And THEY'RE ALL AMERICAAANN!!!
If it ain't positive, I don't believe them!!1"
---- wait 6 months -----
[When all is said and done...]
"The world is wrong!! We were wronged!!!"

Do I need to explain why I did that too? You're asking questions that I don't have to really answer; you were not part of those decisions to buy the: N900, N810, 770 or the Nokia stock. Want to know my reasoning, I'll treat it like a poker game - you're going to have to pay to see my reasoning. Simply put, don't like me here, that's your problem. Not mine.

Fair enough. I will put you into the whiny prick category and leave it at that. We now return you to our regular scheduled commentary without contribution.

gerbick, I like your analytic approach to things, and I too like reading Ars Technica among some others (occasionally drop by at your blog also).
I sitll stand by my "jab" at the average American's attention span, not because I think generalizing things does anyone favors, but because I like to take few jabs here and there. So, as a return of favor, you may now take a jab at the average Finn. May I suggest some of the following:
1. The place is too dark and cold most of the year for any living creature. Only way out is alcohol. Lots of it.
2. If you got a dollar for every word a Finn says over the course of a week, you'd still be a dollar short of a grande at Starbucks.
3. Most common emotions during a day: envy, ill will followed by apathy.
4. Finnish cuisine is better than English. Because we have pickled herring and reindeer pizza.
5. You can't sleep in the summer because the summer sun never sets. Only way out is alcohol. Lots of it.
Now back to your originally scheduled programming.
