New review format

We've tweaked our review format a bit, and we'd love to hear your feedback on it. We're starting with the Volt 2 review:

https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=16133 »

We've tightened our focus to just the things that truly set smartphones apart from each other. We've also reduced the number of default pages. Please check it out and let us know what you think.

New options to search by frequency band in Phone Finder

We've just launched new options in the Phone Finder to search for specific network frequency band support. You can now search for phones that support T-Mobile's new band 12 for example, and AT&T's forthcoming band 29, plus common band combinations for major US networks, and for global roaming.

You'll see these in the Phone Finder if you choose "Show all options".

Please check it out and let us know what you think.

Specifically, are the band combo options available good ones? We've chosen eight band combinations that make sense to us, but we're keen to hear what options you might add or change. We don't want to overwhelm people with too many, so if you would add one, which existing one would you remove to make room?

Hey Rich

Don't bother responding to my numerous moderation requests. There isn't any need. I won't be visiting your site any longer. You have obviously befriended trolls who propagate nonsense and bs and you help them by deleting dissenting opinion. You have an obvious bias to people who share your opinions and you nitpick opposition to death. Congratulations. You win the internet. Did you get your trophy?
You can claim ignorance of my claims but google analytics don't lie... You website is a shell of its former glory. You used to have tens of thousands of forum posts. Now you are lucky to get 100 in a week.
I hope you didn't burn any bridges in your former jobs because those advertising dollars won't be coming in if your site continues falter.

New way of displaying network frequency bands

We've made a change to the primary way we display modes/bands in our phone specs. For LTE and WCDMA technology, we'll now display the international band number, instead of the frequency approximation in MHz.

For example, you'll now see mode lists like:

LTE 2/4/5/17

...instead of:

LTE 700/850/1700/1900.

We've made this change for two reasons. First, as the number of distinct bands has exploded over recent years, it's been difficult to identify them all accurately using the old MHz designators. This is compounded by so many of them being so close together. For example, "LTE 700" could mean band 12, band 17, band 13, band 29, or even band 28. Using the band numbers is much clearer.

Second, it's the way the in...

Mr Brome

Why exactly is it that you seem to pick and choose who is allowed to insult who on your website? I received two emails stating my comments were deleted because they amounted to "personal attacks".
1st, I dispute the term personal attack. Referring to someone who is lying or defrauding people as a liar or a fraud is not a personal attack any more than saying the sun is yellow is a personal attack.
Referring to someone who is trolling and using inflammatory language as a troll is not a personal attack. It is describing behavior.

If you want to continue to choose sides and allow one party to insult another but not allow it for others, that is your "right" as the site owner, but it doesn't make you "right" to do so. If you want to censor pe...

How about making us available to respond personal messages from PS instead of having to sign in into our email accounts?

Forum Consolidation

Dear Phonescoop Moderators,

Perhaps it's time to consolidate the forums into fewer but larger. In times past, it wouldn't have made sense to do so because of the amount of traffic -- I don't think that is the case any longer.

If it were me changing it, I would have Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Tracfone, and US Cellular forums with all of the pre-paids below their parent companies. In addition, I'd add Ting, Smart Talk, and the other new upstarts.

I think a mild makeover such as that would spark new interest in this site.

Wifi Calling

I saw this feature on the to be release Iphone 6 and was curious how many devices featured it. It doesn't look like it's a searchable feature on your phone finder. Any idea how common this feature is?

Would it be possible?

I like this site, very helpful, use it a lot!
One thing would be helpful.
I need to know phone models number very often.

Would it be possible for Phonescoop.com to include the phone model numbers in the "Info" tab?

Reason: Sometimes I only have the name of a phone, but I need the model number. When I search for "Droid Maxx", I get
Motorola Droid Maxx,
Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD,
Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX

Under "Droid Maxx" "Info", no model number is given. (At least I don't see it anywhere)

Yet when I search for model number "xt1080M" I get
Motorola Droid Maxx
AKA XT1080,
Motorola Droid Ultra
AKA XT1080
- So your system has the information, it just doesn't display it.

Thanks.

Server downtime

We're planning some server maintenance tonight. The site will go down starting at 9:30pm ET (6:30pm PT.) We expect to have everything back up in less than an hour, if everything goes smoothly.

Does phonescoop have any type of API where a model could be queried and specifications returned?
