The specs can be found anywhere and will be the same everywhere - or alternatively they might not be set in stone for every region or SKUs for different carriers not commented on. What someone on the ground in Barcelona offers readers isn't a spec list (though the specs would have been covered in the liveblog) but hands-on commentary - superlatives and cautions both. Calling the article "horrible" and "pathetic" and Engadget not "respectable" seems kind of blustery!
