So what did you think? 🙂

A very special thanks to all the 😎 folks at Kyocera, BTW. I've always wanted to do something like that! 😁

🤣 I liked it!
Great you got Kyocera to join in!
First I thought the Mars thing was just a dig at Motorola (they deserve it!).
The Samsung TiVo phone made it obvious I'd been "HAD" 😁

You get me every year Rich. For like three years now, i've come to this site. And for three years, you've gotten me on april fools. It was the mars story that reminded me it is april fools.

Thanks,

Ryan

🤣 Awesome. Ah, the memories... 😉

In past years, I remember a few people actually debating whether or not it was a joke. That always surprised me, because the goal was just to have fun and be funny, not so much to trick people. That's why I added the special " 😛 April Fools!" page this year.

Man... I can't believe I've been doing this long enough for this to be a 3rd annual event 😳 It feels like I started this just the other day, but I guess time flies when you're having fun! 🙂

I Knew it was a joke.
But I wouldn't put it past Nokia to come up with some crap like that.

When I first saw it, I knew it had to be some kind of hoax, but I didn't even think about Apr Fools. When I clicked the link it was absolutely hilarious!!!!

every year on april 1st, rich posts fake news stories on the home page. they are usually pretty outrageous. one of them this year was stating that motorola phones had been discovered by NASA on mars. rich also removes them all the next day so you missed out.

😲 You mean you went a whole day without checking the Phone Scoop front page?? What was it like? How did you survive?? Well, there were incredible, amazing things there for one day only, but you missed it, so tough luck. 👿

...a belated April Fool's to you! 😉 I'm kidding, of course. The front page is back to "normal", but I've archived the April 1st "news" here:
