Site Tools

Become a Phone Scoop power user with these tools to help you access the site easier and faster.

RSS & Twitter Feeds  

RSS is a great way to keep up-to-date on many sites at once - including Phone Scoop - without having to check each site every day. We have many RSS feeds available, which can be used in several ways:

• ... with news reader software on your mobile device or PC.
• ... with Live Bookmarks or similar web browser features.
• ... with a web-based news aggregator.
• ... to syndicate our headlines on your web site (see Terms of Use).

Wikipedia has a comprehensive list of software and services that work with RSS. All of our feeds are in RSS 2.0 format.

Latest News   News items + In-Depth articles

Latest Phones   New phones added to the site

New U.S. Phone Releases   New U.S. carrier phone releases

We also offer individual RSS feeds for each phone on the site. These feeds contain updates on availability, reviews, and much more. If you have your eyes on one (or several) phones, these feeds are a perfect way to keep tabs on it. To subscribe, find our page for that phone and look for the "Subscribe" link on the left side of the page.

If you prefer Twitter, we also offer our main "Latest News" feed via Twitter.

Phone Scoop Mobile  

Just fire up your phone's WAP browser and point it at phonescoop.com to view the mobile version of the site. Our WAP site features quick access to the latest news and phones, so you won't miss a thing when you're on the run. (Phone Scoop Mobile is currently offered in WML format. We plan to offer an expanded version in XHTML format soon.)

Browser Toolbar

Our browser toolbar automatically lets you know when we add new content, and gives you one-click access to the latest and most important information, plus multiple search options.

Click here for more info and to install the Phone Scoop toolbar for your web browser.
(for Internet Explorer and Firefox)

Search Plug-in

If you use Internet Explorer version 7 or Firefox, there's also a simple search plug-in available that lets you instantly "JUMP" to a phone on our site by entering the model number. (It also works for Glossary terms.) Although it doesn't have nearly as many options as the toolbar, it takes up less space and doesn't require any software to be installed.

Click here to add Phone Scoop to your search bar. (IE 7 and Firefox 2 only)

For older versions of Firefox, Click here. (Firefox 1.x only)
