Taking a Look at Another Review…

Rating:

Comparing the Two:

Both agreed:

-inexpensive-offers Android

4.0-low-resolution display

-good battery life-slow 3g network -slow processor

Dolcourt’s Review:

-call quality: poor(loud and muffled)

-attractive design/comfortable grip

-camera: dull and fuzzy

Colon’s Review:

-call quality: good(loud and full)

-cheap look/feel

-camera: decent

Dolcourt’s and Colon’s review were effective in the way that they both: Offered a great amount of information on the phone. Established the criteria in which the phone is

good/bad. Stated their own clear evaluation.

Both reviews agree on most of the general components of the phone. Considering how their views on some aspects differ, you can’t always rely on one’s opinion.

In Conclusion…

Should we view reviews as being beneficial or complicated considering how we all have our own opinion/preferences?

How much of an influence/effect do you think reviews have on the public?

What things do you look for in a review when purchasing a new product?
