I try to make my reviews as accurate as possible, but I'm human, and there can be mistakes. Also there are times I am fighting the deadline (trying to get the reviews done ASAP).
I would appreciate if you could point out the mistakes and I'll try to correct them next time.

Hey, I thought the review was awesome and too the point. The picture towards the bottom and throughout the review give me a good indicator on how much bigger it is than my current SJ30. If it wasn't for my desire to have an OS5 device I would get the SJ33.

"However, who would ever thought his economic vision would be fulfilled by none other than the giant Japanese electronics company Sony" - it was absolutely NOT fulfilled. How could Sony have eliminated the gap between the rich and poor by releasing the SJ33 releasing the SJ33 did not: a) create more jobs, b) increase wages c) increase spending
"Star War" - should be Star Wars
"So, it's 46% faster than SJ30" - fragment (incomplete sentence)
"Another great addition that carried over from the T665C." - missing subject (incomplete sentence)

I could go on about the very bland statements like "cool" or "sweet" as they are very shallow statements. Use a DESCRIPTIVE statement like "sturdy" or "silky." Words like cool and sweet are simply useless.

I wasn't trying to say that the SJ33 fulfilled the economic vision. It was a simple analogy of what Sony is trying to accomplish with their models in the low to middle level.
Yes, it was a mistake. It should have been Star Wars.
As far as fragments are concerned, I wasn't trying to write a formal English or scientific paper, and sometimes those fragments make my points clearer than a long-drawn-out sentence. As far as sweet and cool are concerned, to each his/her own. To me sturdy or silky conveys different feelings than cool and sweet.
Anyway, thanks for pointing out the areas you thought need improvement.

why don't you sprout some STURDY cojones, become a DESCRIPTIVE registered user and write you're own SILKY review, schmuck.
kenneth, i thought your review was comprehensive, timely and thoroughly helpful, i appreciate your contribution.

Why is that? Is it because I found mistakes/flaws in someones' work and you are too ignorant to realize them and assume all is perfect? That is what stagnates our society; ignorant people.

No I am not too ignorant to understand people make typos in the case of star war/s or whatever else you found wrong with his review. He was not writing this to his grammar teacher, he was just making a review to inform people of a product. I think he was successful in his goal. However, here you come to talk about grammar which is way out of context in a forum. I think the view was COOL! Or should I say silky?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

When you make yourself/your work public, there will always be someone to criticize. Britney Spears, though an entertainer, is equally susceptible to criticism. Even if he was not directly writing to his english teacher, don't think "just because someone posted a review" they should be respected at a higher level. BECAUSE he posted a review for the public to see, I see nothing wrong in judging the work.

Why don't you become a registered member of this forum? It's the least you could do if you want to criticize this man's review.
I should mention that most of us despise people not registering. You're not going to get many responses or be taken too seriously if you can't even register...it's free and easy.

Kenneth Rhee, thanks for the review...if you get a chance next time, could you post some hi-res pictures of the products you are reviewing? It really helps give us a good idea of the product.
Thanks

I didn't have time to touch up the pictures this time, and I apologize. Will do next time.

I learned while back that you need to have a thick skin if you want to stay in this business . . .

I'm a registered member so maybe my comments won't be bashed quite so bad. I agree with the comments "unregistered" made about the writing in the piece. Ok, so unregistered was definitely rude and perhaps he could have pointed out the errors in a more productive manner. I believe if you are going to produce something other people are going to read, you should proof read your work. Incomplete sentences do not help you make a point; they make you sound as if you really do not understand what you are writing about. A simple grammar check in Microsoft Word will point out these errors.

It's possible that most users agree with his assessment, but most would have handled it with a private email.

Thanks.
I just went back and looked at the web page more carefully. Something funny is happening with the page. All my punctuations and certain characters were changed to question marks or other symbols.
I'll alert the webmaster, and hopefully, we will get that fixed today.
