The Pre is polling far more votes in this battle than it's previous bouts, which is suspicious. For what it's worth, I think they are logging IP addresses from the votes to stop multiple voting.

Of course, you could still vote twice if you were sneaky by voting once over home/work wlan/network/whatever and again over 3G on your N900.

You're making too much a fuss about this.

In my opinion it is a stupid poll that is not worth fussing about. Winning or losing shouldn't make a difference.

First of all, the website isn't that professional. Just look at the N900's spec page. I can see many inconsistencies: http://www.fonearena.com/nokia-n900_897.html

Second of all, the poll doesn't say what it's based on. Popularity? Usability? Specs? It should at least display the specifications on the phones in question. And not to mention the fact that popular phones like the iPhones and Droid were eliminated very soon and sometimes by inferior phones..which raises some questions.

And thirdly the fact that you can vote multiple times..no IP logging? Simple javascript could do this.

And when does the poll actually end..does any one know?

For the record I voted and I even left a comment replying to Angad and his theory about precision..but I am not at all fussed about winning or losing.

Well the poll is fun non the less. I bet even against the Galaxy the Pre would score high :P

Angad is quite an informed dude, I especially love the use of the words "outdated" and "fanboy"

there is ip logging. you can vote again but it will tell you "we've already counted your vote". Of course if you have an n900 with 3g, you can just disconnect, clear cookies/cache reconnect and viola you have a new ip to vote with. Just sayin'

I think the pre will win as more of the US gets to vote.

The N900 is definitely better though.
