People make mistakes, this doesn't really bother me too much, especially since they have apologized and promised a more in-depth re-post in the future.

What does bother me is how crazy people are getting about this. I understand being a fan of something, but there's such a thing as taking it too far. Yeesh.

And I read that article before it was taken down, it was total fluff. It shouldn't ever have been posted. They should have taken it down and left the editor's explanation in place.

But seriously, Android-fan readers need to calm the fuck down. This inconsequential editing gaffe doesn't mean Engadget hates anyone's phone, nor love anyone else's phone, or have any special conspiracy-driven agenda to hide bad press for Apple. It reveals the profound insecurity of that forum's collective mentality when they say things like that and get a lot of people agreeing.

I know the EVO has been getting socked in the press for its battery life (and these complaints are legitimate), but really it's a cool phone with a lot to offer and all signs point to the launch going very well for a Sprint phone. Re-lax.

In reality, you can't make a good comparison between a phone that was just launched and one that hasn't been. You end-up comparing press-releases, something the tech press was never afraid to do.
