Hi everybody,
I was not sure where to post this so I will just put it in here.
This is a suggestion that I thought of a long time ago, but today I've decided to post it somewhere.
XDA is an excellent forum, which I visit on a daily basis. Even before we had the nice portal it was still fun to go and visit our devices and see if anything new had come out.
The thing that I unfortunately can't use XDA for very well, unless I open countless threads asking people for help, is when deciding if I should buy a phone.
Everytime I want to read a review, I need to go and get it somewhere else. The problem with other peoples reviews is that they never take into account custom ROM's and the community behind them, so if the phone comes with crappy software out of the box, they might negatively rate something that is actually very good.
Lately I have been following the SG2 forum, as that device has made me dream again . Pretty, Powerful and another word starting with P that I can't think of, but when I want to see how good it is, or any review I either browse 100s of threads and try to understand what do people complain about, or I give up and go and search on the net for a review, which I still think does not take into account the potential of the device (example HD2, you will not find a review of it running android, hehe).
To summarize: I suggest that each forum dedicated to a phone could have a nice review in the sickies, done by a member and rated by the community.
And please I am aware of the wiki, but I still don't think it is enough, as it's mostly specs and other things, not actual usage comparison or review.
Let me know what you think.
Good day to you all
This is an interesting point...I know of a few other forums that have a dedicated review forum or review threads.
I'll pop it in the "suggestion box"
I'm still somewhat of a newbie to xda, but the idea sounds great. I usually jump around to 5 or six sites looking for reliable reviews.
Would be nice to have member reviews from multiple angles of usability.
Well I'm glad that you've liked it. I am looking forward to see future development and hopefully I will not have to use other review sites in the future .
Regards to all.
good idea
That's great, I think Xda with many ppls can send out the information of mobile products.
Hi everybody, first I want to thank the admin orb3000 for moving the thread, I searched for the right place for the post, but no suggestion folder for the forum, that is why I have posted in in general.
And now on topic, we need to start reviewing our phones so they have something to sticky.
So good luck to you all, and I am looking forward to the results.
With all the threads that pop up asking "should I get this", I had thought about doing the same thing but never acted on it....maybe its time that I did
Great suggestion, definitely not "flame worthy"

I'm confused as to why this thread would be closed. It is a general note 2 thread in the note 2 forum.
But this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134987
Exact same subject remains open and has been.
This is the worst forum I've ever been a part of on XDA.
A thread is no bigger than a post in terms of hard drive space. So it can't be a "taking up too much space"
There are too many wannabe hall monitors complaining over nonsense.
If you don't want to reply to a thread about someone leaving and coming back don't. Other people do. Same for excited people who just got the device.

Its called rules... look em up somtime
And the second link quite frankly got lucky
One was closed because it was a duplicate thread/post. Users are expected to use search before posting - especially since redundant or duplicate information is covered. It is a rule.
This thread is now closed too.
Hey guys, some time ago, I reed here, and some comments on other places, about that, it's not fit the tablet, is there any news?
Please don't make multiple threads for the same subject, i will keep one of your threads open. Edit the op to reflect your questions about the two cases.
Please continue here.
Thread closed.
Hey,
First time in a while i used the XDA Homepage and not Tapatalk on my phone to browse the forums.
On the right side a saw this "Real life review" between General and custom roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/review
Seems to be knew on XDA?
You can rate the threads which will result in an overall rating. You can even comment the specific topics with a short review
As the most viewed topic had about 140 views i guessed that this feature is not really well known. Most other are about 25-40 views.

Please Watch.
Thank You
Ugly sh** i have seen on the internet
The cutouts are misaligned...
Also, please refrain from using this forum just to peddle your YouTube channel.
Everything about this is wrong.
is this a joke?
Thread closed, please use the real life review sections and post any videos in existing threads there. Also do not post the same link more than once.
