Well, I have good and bad news. The good news is, not only is there an RSS feed for all the forums, as you put it, but also for any keyword search you may be interested in!
The bad news is, it only shows you new topics, not new replies to existing topics. But hey, if you like a topic, you can subscribe to it individually.
The other bad news is, the database query it runs is much more complex than the ones in the rest of our forum, so please exercise discretion in using it lest you overload our server and ruin it for everybody! :-) (This is why the link is not more prominently placed.)
If you go to http://smartphonemag.com/cms/forums/search you will see a list of all new forum topics. Enter keywords to search for, and the list narrows. In either case, at the bottom of the list is an RSS link. Enjoy responsibly!
Please note that you can also use our Subscribe feature to receive email updates about any activity in the forum (including replies to existing topics). If you subscribe to a lot of stuff, you will want to adjust your subscription settings to send you digests rather than individual messages.
Update: we have redirected the RSS feed above to Feedburner, which solves our traffic problem, but you can no longer search for keywords. If there's demand for that feature, we can make it accessible again.
That feed URL works well, thanks. Although it came up without a title/description (I edited/added one). You might check to be sure that tag field is populated.
