The problem is that Andy Burnelli's posts are kind of long and detailed.
It takes a while to figure out that they're not about computers
sometimes, so they're actually cluttering up ACF. There are some
newsgroups just for smartphones:
microsoft.public.smartphone
gmane.comp.hardware.smartphones.userland
and some just for cellphones in general:
alt.cellular-phone-tech
alt.cellular.telephones
alt.cell-phone.tech
alt.cell-phone
alt.comp.devices.cellphones
etc.
but they don't get a lot of traffic. Probably because most people are
using forums now. Tom's Guide website has some:
https://forums.tomsguide.com/categories/cell-phones.18/
and there are many others:

ACF though, is supposed to be for computers, and has been around since
long before cell phones in general even existed in common useage.
However, it's easy enough to killfile Burnelli and I have done so.

posts made from Google Groups and cross-posted (sent to more than one
newsgroup at a time) messages. I recommend you do likewise.
