I use reviews pretty strongly in some purchasing decisions

I do too.

It's just that I don't expect to see any electronic gadget with a perfect score (there will always be someone disappointed that their i3/4GB RAM is slow... or that their Honda Civic doesn't do 0-to-60 in 1.5 secs...). And also I always take into account the price (yes, a $30 MP3 player will not be all good like some $300 one...

So when I see an item with a 4 star rating I'm not sure it's a פירחא on the item the fact that some people cry about it.

That depends on the amount of reviews.. usually I assume they paid the same price I did.

Better to read reviews critically than to simply go by the average, especially since many reviews are paid for in some way.

Any shop in Jerushalayim or duty free ?
Almost every electronics/phone store in a frum area will have them. Just that areas with a lot of competition will sell them for 100-120 shekel and other places for 130-150 shekel.
