Congratulations Jason!

It looks great. We ( www.pocketpc-club.nl , the dutch Pocket PC website ) are now working on www.smartphone-club.nl (it's almost finnished, just wrapping up the code!). I hope we can support each other in our efforts to make the smartphones more popular (= more users on our website, bigger communitys, better support, etc.)!

Wouter.

(in a Burns voice) eeeexcellent.

This reminds me of summer 2000 when I decided to get a Pocket PC. I hounded news sites about all the juicy, nerdy details (I think pdabuzz was the site of choice at the time), waited and waited until the perfect device (iPaq 3600) came out and then had 4 orders in at once, until one finally shipped.

Now the wait is on for the perfect Smartphone-- and November, when the US carriers all are required to let us keep our phone numbers from one carrier to another.

I love the site, the layout and the color scheme, too, especially compared to PPCThoughts. Excellent contrast.

I noticed that the 'favicon.ico' file has been erased from pocketpcthoughts.com. Was that on purpose? I use Mozilla and "tabs" and that cool blue PPC icon tells me what site I'm looking at in which tab. And will somone be making a similar Smartphone icon (with an orange screen, of course)

Good luck on the site!

In IE, I keep PPCThoughts on my links toolbar which also, like the favorites or a desktop shortcut will keep the icon too. Right now, the SmartPhone link is an ugly IE icon.

Hmm, I'll check this out in my spare time. I know I haven't ever gotten the favicon in Moz, but I think it needs to be specified in the stylesheet (as opposed to IE, which just needs the file there).

Really, my whole office uses Netscape 7.0, and it is enabled by default (7.1 does too) but the Mozilla team hates it, so it's disabled in Moz by default unless there's code on the page. Point being: there's no code needed, it just looks in the default location like IE. It's just setting that you set in about:config called "browser.chrome.favicons"

Thanks for the tip. Still, it's probably better to eventually put into the CSS.
