The Nokia E61i Doesn't Deliver On Its Promises

One plausible argumentation with a bunch of logic flaws.

1. Red herring.
Quote: full QWERTY keyboard with physical buttons, WCDMA, and a replaceable battery
>>&g... So how about above features' advantage or not? No mention in this passage.

2. Many assumptions, but all unwarranted.
Quote: E61 can push Blackberry email (via add-on software), Microsoft Exchange support.
>>&g... You never attack iPhone on "unable to do this". Seems you unconsciously use one hidden assumption that these email feature is not critical to you and all the folks around the world! Who told you that? Any facts, statistics?

3. Appeal to emotion
Quote: the phone is much better than my ancient Nokia 3650 that it replaced.
>>&g... So what? You use one very bad example to contrast with E61i, just want to degrade E61's fame? I also can say that iPhone is better than 3650. Then did I really debase the iPhone?

4. Unwarranted assumption
Quote: you now are in a WiFi hotspot that has more than 10 times the bandwidth.
>>&g... 10 times than who? WLAN g version is 54M, 3G is 2M or 3.5G is 14M. Are you sure the download speed is 10 times difference?

5. Confusion of the sufficient/necessary condition.
Quote: Painfully slow browsing
>>&g... Yes, if bad browser --> Painful slow browsing. But if Painful slow browsing, can we rigorously infer that bad browser? Who told this kind of reasoning? Do you consider 3rd kind of explanation such as you have a bad WLAN coverage, signal?
