couldn’t have gotten a better set of feedback as this.

and to be russ.dotted.

really, it’s rich for russ b to tease you guys like that. though maybe you are a bit obsessed with gizmodo eriksson.

hey, just be true to yourselves. that’s why folks read you. if you come across as non-happy, then that’s just because things out there get you like that. no worries.

keep it up, guys. whatever it is you do.

[...] We’ve been accused of being curmudgeonly lately at MobHappy, so maybe our scepticism is misplaced. So we did a quick sanity check with fellow blogger and mobile evangelist, Russ Beattie. He said: [...]

Please do not change into “gee-wizz” cheerleaders with text full of exclamation marks… Your tone is perfect and as long as it stays like it is you will keep the respect of your many readers. Keep up the good work.

Please don’t change! I’ve been in mobile media in the US for seven years now and you guys tell it like it is…

Guys I think that you get it just about right. Not too much of the Fan Boy stuff seen on other sites and not too depressing. You are still one a the few sites that I look in on every day and have acted as an excellent totem thanks to Mobilist.

Keep up the good work and who knows maybe Mr Beattie will be ready for his close up and host/submit to Mobilists sometime soon!

Not too curmudgeonly at all, you guys have some of the best commentary out there period. I love reading your articles and you’re one of my few every day stops. Even when I’m marking everything else in my overflowing newsreader as read, you’re still one of the feeds I stop on.

Not at all. I think you guys are rightly critical on most of the stuff you blog about and you do give credit when it’s due. The fact that there’s so much new happening in the sector for you guys to blog on everyday is, to me, something mobile enthusiasts (like all of us commenting here, I presume) to be pretty happy about

Insightful analysis is what makes your site great, and I reckon your site is juuusssstttt fine

Please keep at it in just this way. There are far too many Pollyannas out there already. Mobile Nirvana scenarios only have a chance at happening if the biggest fans of mobile innovation retain our sobriety. We have to be useful and profitable, rather than fashionable or cool.

Thanks everyone for all your comments.

Helen, never had you down for a Billy Joel fan. How embarassing!

[...] The iPhone is coming. Maybe. And I’m enthusiastic about the possibility and excited to see what’s in store. But I want to know what Apple’s take on the mobile phone is, not some Mac fanboy with too much time on their hands, or an analyst firm trying to drum up some business. [...]
