Yes, no one at any of those place are capable of writing a non-biased review, they are all apple shills & fanbois!
I'm pleased that most reviews seem to be saying the keyboard is a non-issue. I'm also displeased that Edge sucks as much as I imagined. Overall, i think it sounds like an alright 1.0 product, I'm sure software upgrades will add a couple features and fix a few bugs. I imagine most everything else that needs fixed or features will only be in 2.0.. much like everyone else's speculation.
For me, this is certainly an issue of "want" over "need", I have a craptacular RAZR right now that I've been wanting to ditch since I got it (for free). I can afford it, but I'm also thinking about the future, how will resell with it work? I'd like to get the 4 gig to tide me over till version 2.0 comes out, and unload my 4 gig, who knows how that will work.. I imagine I can wait on this for at least a little while.

OSNews didn't write the reviews, the New York Times, Wallstreet Journal, MSNBC, and USAToday wrote the reviews. Considering all the anticipation over this device (NYT says 11,000 print articles, and 69 million hits on the site), and the fact that pretty much every reviewer says it sets the bar for next-gen phones, I would say that chances are it will be the next iPod, not the next nGuage. But thats just me...

Personally, I still think it's the Apple nGage. I'll wait to pass judgement until I see some less biased sources of reviews (like OSnews), or better yet, friend reviews.
