Default Smartphone Thoughts Changing of The Guard

I am sure you all have read by now that Mike Temporale has left Smartphone Thoughts as our Managing Editor. I know I for one was pretty saddened to hear the news as Mike has been with the team since I first came to this wonderful site looking for some help with my new Motorola MPx220 (I didn't know any better at the time!). Mike was always there to help me out with questions and point me in the right direction of resources I needed to make my Windows Mobile experience on a whole, a lot better. To be honest, if it wasn't for Mike, I most likely wouldn't have become the Windows Mobile enthusiast that I am and chances are I probably would never have been interested in becoming a news editor. While I enjoyed writing prior to joining our team, I never realized that it was something that I wanted to do and was reasonably good at! I never realized that one day, writing for Smartphone Thoughts, would be right up there on the top of my list of greatest passions – right next to Web Development. This community and what we do here at Smartphone Thoughts mean the world to me. I absolutely love our community and it still amazes me everyday that some of the most extraordinary, awesome, and down to earth people I have every met were right here on this very site.

This is why I am pleased to announce to all of you that I am taking over Mike's position as Managing Editor. As we all know, Mr. Temporale left some incredibly large shoes to fill, and while I might have to stuff the toes of those shoes with some tissue paper for a few weeks, I am confident that I will not let our readers down.

There will be a few changes here and there. For one, I will be the first person to admit that we have been slacking a bit on the content side of things. This will change ASAP. One of our main priorities now will be not only to bring our readers the latest and greatest on the Windows Mobile news front, but to bring you a ton of fresh product reviews and more thought pieces. Mike did an incredible job of doing this when he was our Managing Editor and I hope to follow in those same footsteps. My second priority, which I will need the help of our readers to accomplish, is to find out what you as visitors want from our site. This isn't just the news teams site, this site belongs to our readers because without you guys/gals, there would be no Smartphone Thoughts! So let us know what is on your mind and let us know where you would to see us take Smartphone Thoughts in the near future! Heck, you can even let me know if I ramble to much, I don’t mind!

Before I wrap this up, I want to take a second to thank Jason Dunn and our news team for giving me this opportunity as well as thank Mike Temporale for showing me the ropes and just plan ol' being there when I was a Smartphone Newbie. Thanks everyone!
