New Website Launched

After 2 years of support we’ve realise that we do lots more than just support now. Many of you use us as a filter or all the hot news regarding mobile phones.

You look to us to remove all of the information that you’re not really interested inand just report cold hard facts about  the mobile phones of today, and what they will do for you.

However, a forum just isn’t the best way to report news, by placing the articles into manufacturers categories people only see the news for their particular handset and miss all the interesting stuff about other handsets in the wild.

Creating a new framework

Taking this on board we’ve been hard at work creating this new front end to the site, especially for reporting news. We’ve developed very clever scripts that parse the net several times a day looking for new posts about new and anticipated mobile phones so we can be sure we get the news as soon as, or even quicker than many of the big sites who employ full time journalists.

We also won’t just report for the sake of it. News has to be news worthy to make it to the site. If it isn’t interesting enough it just won’t make the cut. There are plenty of mediocre mobile website out there who will let you know about screen protectors and cases.

We’ve developed the new site around a heavily modified Wordpress framework. Most of you will be familiar with this kind of blogging system and so to comment you can use your existing Gravatar. We may in the future bridge the Forum membership with Wordpress so you can use these accounts, however if we did that right now you would lose some functionality.

This framework allows us to pass articles into the forum, and so you may have notices the nice new “News” forum at the top of the forum list. This is effectively a feed front the front-page and so feel free to comment on articles within the forum topics. We hope by having a real feed of news of everything Mobile related you won’t miss those important articles.

Forums

We have one unique selling point over many other mobile forums, that is our Theme developers and modifiers. For the record I think you guys are fantastic. You blow my mind with your creativity and I want to give you as much exposure as possible. Whenever you create a theme please let me know. If it’s ground breaking it’s sure to make the frontpage of the site. With an estimates 10,000 unique visitors per day expected it should definitely earn you some serious Kudos.

We really hope you enjoy the new site, please give us feedback. We want to be your no.1 Mobile Phone Website.
