This "used-car salesman" undertone, wordily mulling over the same points, and over the top praise are very typical of most Indian magazines and newspapers even.

This "used-car salesman" undertone, wordily mulling over the same points, and over the top praise are very typical of most Indian magazines and newspapers even. I'm not trying to be nasty here, even I am Indian and not a native speaker of English. I just find this style of writing very amusing and can recognize it anywhere. :-)
EDIT: I was wrong about 'recognizing it anywhere', this article isn't from an Indian publication. No offense.

- feintruled 13y agoBy "the writer", you mean yourself, right? I think the GP is just pointing out how unusual in style such articles are compared to, say, US tech websites. I very much doubt you'd see a sentence like "There are many things that might steal your heart away at this device" there. A more cynical man than I might label it a gushing puff piece garnered by some expenses paid Nokia PR event, GP points out cultural differences that might belay such an accusation.
