I have recently imported a phpBB forum into SP via 'importing plugin', great tool BTW. Completely transparent process.
Question now is: What's next?
I guess I should send a notification to users letting them know of the change (maybe access credentials? are phpBB ones still valid? )
What's the right way (best procedure) to notify users of this change (the new WP site ) ?

yes, unfortunately phpbb uses a different encryption for passwords than wp does, so the old passwords will not work... they will need to use the lost password link and get a new password which they can change after logging in...
With SP you could send a private message to all users, but they wont be able to read it with out logging in... by default, wp does not include a newsletter functionality, but you could download one of the myriad of plugins available for sending an email to all users and try that...
or you could extract their emails from your db and send an email from outside the side...
