It's funny how no one said the same thing about iReport.com aint it? ;)

They way over paid for that too. But side by side - ireport was a far better deal for the buyer.

As it is an end user sale then this is not overpaid. The end user shall have done their sums and calculated what the domain is worth to them as part of their business. Even if it had sold for 10 times as much that would still not have been overpaid using the same argument.

Now whether or not this turns out to be a good investment for the end users business is another matter that only time will tell.

Maybe/maybe not! I don't know what plans SmartCall have for MyMobile.mobi yet, so I'll have to wait and see...

though this is not a criticism...

where does it say that they were the buyers of the domain?


imo.. it was over priced because if a corp bought it, they could have regged any name and branded it with a commercial.

that's the whole "backwards" irony of these so-called "end-user", high priced purchases of .mobi names

make me understand the logic

This is a case of an African Mobile company way over paying for a potential sales and campaign slogan?

I wish!
