..... he's a Nokia fanboy through and through - even when the device is rubbish (eh n97!)  I still watch the phones show and listen to the audio podcast, but I don't pay any attention to their review. When testing a blackberry they didn't even have BES or BIS - the fundamental part of the blackberry service!

I know what you mean, I still watch the Gadget Show even though I nick name it the "Apple Show" because every test seems like it's designed to drop the Blackberry's at the first hurdle and then make sure the Apple gear comes out on top.

He replied again saying that his focus is really high end phones. Yes, that's apparent. *rolleyes*

I saw your comment. Perhaps there has been a change in his show philosophy though.

Here is his top 5 for October 2010:

(notice he says that the phones have got to offer good value)

He recommended the zte blade, not high end by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet in a recent show he focussed on top 5 best 2nd hand buys for under £100....including a SE k800i no less.....you don't get more high end than this....

Who is this guy? :-/

Someone of this gentleman's years using the phrase "a bit of a fail" is slightly cringe-inducing - I'm not certain that I'm all that convinced of his reviews, but I do not know of him, I'll await further feedback. Is he fair? Does he have any bias? Just want to know, as there is now a torrent of "reviewers" on YouTube - how can anyone NOT be confused by so so many conflicting opinions? That's all they are, after all - I'm very conscious of that.

Steve Litchfield?

Some say he is symbian biased, but check out www.allaboutsymbian.com and www.allaboutwindowsphone.com for some of his previous work over the last decade.
