Is it an April Fool's Joke?
I wish it were, my friends, I wish it were.
But no, we've turned Phone Scoop magenta today in protest of T-Mobile threatening Engadget Mobile over their use of the color magenta. Sound like an April Fool's joke? It's not. They really are.
It's just as bad (if not worse) than RIM (the BlackBerry company) suing Samsung over the BlackJack... because they essentially said they owned the word "black". They also sued Samsung over a Korean phone with "berry" in the name of the COLOR of the phone - not the actual name of the phone... where will this nonsense end?
That's all crazy enough, but owning a color... really?
Phone Scoop is proud to stand by our friends at Engadget Mobile against this insanity.

Wow, I've been waiting quite some time for the April first edition of phone scoop, and this is what you show? A pretty color? Amature hour.
Ever since I've been coming here, I've always anticipated the April fools edition of the Phonescoop news page, and I've been very let down this year.
Yeah, it's a cute show of solidarity to put one section of your website one color, but couldn't you have done both, or maybe put the changed the color tomorrow if you thought people would believe it was part of the prank?
Don't get me wrong, I love Phonescoop, but I've come to expect certain things from you guys, and get let down when the ball gets dropped in this fashion.
Once again I state, amature hour.

I think the reason they don't put garbage on the news screen is because people rely on the site for information - it is bad for business to put a feed full of crap... we both know there are morons out there who would actually believe it and spread it.

ya i remember one year when the April fools joke on the radio was talking about some restaurant that was serving horse as a main course
and it was amazing how many ppl were calling in to get directions cause they wanted to try it

For those of you Opie and Anthony fans - who remember why they got kicked off the air.

😕 What I said is that this is NOT an April Fool's joke.
We're not doing April Fool's this year because it is the first day of CTIA today. It is - by far - our single biggest (real) news day of the year. We can't ignore that.

Looks like Phonearena joined the protest too.
I think the legal departments are trying to keep busy by making up crazy letters and threats.
- Blackberry sues Samsung over the Blackjack
- Blackberry sues Verizon over the word BLACK cherry and strawBERRY as the name of the color some chocolate phones
- MobiTV threatens to shut down Howardforums
- T-Mobile threatens Engadget Mobile over the use of the color Magenta
Look for more letters like:
- Blackberry sues AT&T over the BLACK RAZR
- Verizon/Verizon Wireless sues U.S. Education System for using a Red Checkmark when grading papers
- AT&T sues Lucas Arts Films over the Death Star
- The singer Pink sues any manufacture for using the color Pink

Unless CNN has decided to participate on April Fools Day, because I saw the story there before even coming here.
