Could you give an example of such a criticism-free article?
You say its happened often so there must be lots of such articles in the AAS archives, but I'm having trouble finding any.

Well, have look at the thread http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum...ad.php?t=77012. As a current example of a "criticism-free" stance by aas.

Yes, at times it is a very good pinciple, especially when no other reliable can be found. This principle may also not be so good, if it halts the story(does not confirm before another source) from actually breaking, for nothing more than its own personal interest(no sincere reason(s)).

Yes, of course confirmation by a reliable source(one that can support their claims) should always be thrived for. But an official source is not always needed, nor the best either(many times the official source will give you the run around, or spin the issue) to confirm a story. As long as the story can be supported(found to be true), that's all that matters in the end to me.

Congratulations to the AAS team, because they consistently deliver high quality information, reviews and comment on the mobile scene. I particularly like to see good quality writing, with thoughtful opinions on the latest hardware and software available. I get it from AAS.
No other source comes close.
I do have some sympathy with the view that awards from friends in the industry have questionable worth. They remind me of the awful TV awards we get in the UK. Two hours of luvvies giving worthless awards to other luvvies. Eastenders is voted best soap again. Who cares?
Next week I'll produce the Williamoni awards for all my good friends here in South Wales. I'll have categories for 'best Sunday dinner', 'most delightful coffee made with milk' and maybe 'most humorous luncheon companion in the office'. I'll put on a lavish reception in my house. Keep an eye out for coverage in the Daily Mirror.

respect but
Blah, there are bunch of better blogs out there, you are guys slowly loosing your position of the leading Symbian portal, blog from guru or freak are much better although guru now works for nokia and isn't as reliable as once was! I don't mean to sound rude but you are a little late on news. I hope that you are smart enough to accept my constructive critic and to take your position back because new kids on the block are very serious and very perspective and very fast with posting news about the latest happenings and events!

Quite right. Woodward and Bernstein: a couple of shysters.

Oh. Ok. And your points is? It is pretty boring to read so called "inner circle guys reviews" about their own site. I like AAS very much indeed, but like I said, I am bored with this nepotism.

Btw, congrats on the award.  |
Flash comparisions, the best camera phone comparisions, detailed reviews of the latest (final model with production firmware!) phones, how to do so such and such, reviews of third party software, what exactly is missing?
