No, it’s not as fun as Rollover minutes. As mentioned previously, we’ll be changing servers, and that means a DNS change. No downtime is expected, but you may not be able to access the forums until things sync back up. The good news? Faster page loads and we’re paying less money.
Update: The Knowledge Base is [...]

We want your feedback on the new look-and-feel of the Knowledge Base. Let us know how you feel about it in the comments. Is it better than the rest of PhoneNews.com? Worse? Be as specific or broad as you see fit… we want everything from minor changes to major improvements that you want to [...]

We were just looking over our statistics, and noticed that a lot of people are running an out of date version of Flash… most actually. The majority of our readers are on Flash 9, but not the latest version 9.0 r45.
Having flash up-to-date really helps CPU utilization (meaning, your computer runs faster), so we encourage [...]

With that, I’ve started to ponder the notion of having a blog. Without trying to sound arrogant, I think I have enough of [...]

Took a bit longer than expected, but our anonymous news submission system is back, and better than ever! Use it to send us news, tips, or any juicy bits of news you want the world to know about. And, of course, send us feedback on any part of PhoneNews.com… while we can’t respond to [...]

Meet the newest addition to the PhoneNews.com office, picked up last night. I’ve personally felt let down by Apple’s MacBook versus MacBook Pro breakdown… always waiting for a return of the 12-inch MacBook Pro.
