Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Yes it is an April Fools joke, happy April Fools day everyone, and don't worry, Nokia won't be buying the site :-) It has been announced this morning that MoDaCo Smartphone has been acquired by Nokia Mobile Phones. In light of these developments, from midday GMT today, the forums will be undergoing transition - all Microsoft Smartphone related posts will be purged, and the site will be restructured to reflect the Nokia / Symbian platform. Speaking this morning, founder of MoDaCo Smartphone, Paul O'Brien: MoDaCo has long been associated with the Smartphone community, and we are looking forward to continuing this tradition with our new Nokia / Symbian focus. I feel that we are taking the right decision by 'switching sides' as it were, as Nokia really are at the forefront of the Smartphone revolution with their innovative phones and their sensibly designed keypads. With the raw processing power and memory available, we are sure that Series 60 will become the leading Smartphone operating system. Device agnostic .net Compact Framework is clearly not the way forward, developers are far happier tweaking their J2ME code for each individual device. What more is there to say... Welcome to MoDaCo [Nokia] Smartphone! :) P
Guest mar9118 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Why????? what happened to your sense of appreciation to all of us MS Smartphone users who made this forum a hit Paul? Staying neutral and offering both sides would have been a better option than selling out to Nokia. Guess we have noc hoice now but to migrate to our own Pinoy MS Smartphone forum *airfagev* That's life! Things change overnite :cry:
Guest rcperez Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Paul turned on against us! tsk tsk tsk :x :x :x
Guest Lopio Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Well sad news for us. Long live Airfagev! Posted from my SmartPhone!

Guest lutzh Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 ok, if this is the moment of thruth: i am jacek. sorry that i played the double agent in the last month's but i felt like it would be better to ask questions regarding my phone as lutzh and to flame around as jacek. i hope you forgive me. cheers, lutz
Guest amo Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 sensibly designed keypads Hmmmmm.... :roll:

Guest Zim Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Well all i Can Say I will be pimping dem smart type nokia phoes form now! "Z"
Guest Harley69 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Well what can I say, as usual money speaks louder than the loyalty of the people that have made this site such a huge success!! :evil: What a Judas and a pure sell out!!!!!
Guest 8ball Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 See how everyone will suddenly leave! MS phones are Smartphones, Symbian is tarted up Psion OS for people who think Atari games are "cutting edge". This was a good site, now gonna be a haven for poor quality games, tacky ringtones, and Escort XR3i wallpaper. Shame really.hope you got a fair price for it!
Guest beersoft Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 I think its a great move, as we are bound to get lots more fun and 'interesting' phones from the big N the king is dead, long live the king! later Owen
Guest martin Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 This is fantastic news. MoDaCo goes from strength to STRENGTH :) I believe an agreement has already be reached where midnight will cease work on the MS Smartphone and concentrate on the Nokia platform. * KUMITE on the 6600 * :lol: Posted from my Nokia!
Guest muff Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 suffering from long term sleep deprivation atm that was a shocking heading to wake up to :)
Guest Cross Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 "]It has been announced this morning that MoDaCo Smartphone has been acquired by Nokia Mobile Phones.] I first heard this news on the PrilA oolF site :-)
Guest bogbrush Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 How much was it bought for? The reason I ask is I would make a higher offer than poxy Nokia could afford :twisted:
Guest Pondrew Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Hehe. Finally I can come out of the closet and admit that I am in love with the sleek lines and great versatility of the N-Gage :) Now if I can only 'rebadge' my E200... sure I can fit the word Nokia in there somewhere... :lol:
Guest george Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 gotta be April bl**dy Fool.Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest yarod_g14 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 You forgot to mention the part where the flying monkeys distibute free Win mobile 2003 Nokia's to all Smartphone owners. I cant wait, it will be like a scene from Rama and Sita or Wizard of Oz with monkeys all over the shop. Long live disconected people!!!!!!!! Hurah!!!
