Shaw007: Nigeria will never move on when the world is remember when blackberry used 2 be a symbol of wealth. . .it was not common in Naija. . .nOw that it has droppped they love it(or shud i say,they can now purchase it) but not 2 worry in d year 2020 the SGS3s and and apple/motorola/Nokia smartphones will get here. . .Just be patient ppl
Why are you trying to generalised poverty,if you are wretchedly poor that's not to say everyone is poor. You are worshiping SGS3 and hoping to buy one in 2020 when my kid brother is already flexing a white S3,I bought my first BB(8830) in 2005 the same year it was introduced into naija market and there were many wealthy Nigerians who bought as well.

ITbomb: Can someone pls explain the logic behind network providers giving unlimited bundle to RIM and limited to other manufacturers. Is it a server issue?
That's because BB subscriptions works directly with RIM server while other smartphones uses SP servers(Airtel,Etisalat,MTN,Glo,Starcooms)

One authorized dealer in Ikeja...should Nigerians in Canada bow down because of that when there can be 10 authorized BB Stores in A single shopping mall in Canada?? By the way...you mean an authorized dealer for a BB assembled in Mexico city?? Lol

Only upper middle class people in Nigeria can afford an Original new BB phone without stress, k! That would be top 1%

DheBuck: The reason a lot of us use a BB is for nothing else except the special internet bundles it has...if andriod or iphone has bundles I think they'd be popular too among nigerians

simple and short!!!!

Network providers favor BB users with internet bundle, else BB wont even exist in Naija

BB Rules!!! All you follow follow that buy phones because its in vogue soon Apple and Samsung will be out of vogue and i trust you all will start saying Apple and Samsung are useless phones.. Remember what Bob marley said: Emancipate yourself from mental slavery instead of practicing follow follow, have your own mind. Am sure most of you don't even know how to use the Apple and Samsung self, because i have seen loads of people that carry it around just for show offs... SMH

Same Naija I visited a few weeks ago?? But then again an average Naija person like you in Naija thinks hard work that builds and helps keep a nation developed and keep advancing is suffering!!!

Hahahahahahaha!! stupidity

See why Nigeria is so underdeveloped? Don't risk ur life for nation building and don't work hard to achieve anything...go to university and sort professors with cash or ur p u ssy and get a job with the fake degree u get after where you get a free car and a free duplex after 3 months of work and live large forever...carrying a made in Canada BB running programes designed by Canadian secondary school kids; wear American clothes and speak with fake Ameriacan acent; and then drive a used German or Japanese made Jeep stolen in the streets of Canada...is that not the Nigerian model??

You seemed to mistake houses built by Nigerians outside of Nigeria in Nigeria as showing how wealthy Nigerians in Naija are!! Funny, eh! Confused, eh!
I was reading somewhere last year that they wanted to make the minimum wage in Nigeria 18, 000 naira a month and some of the States refused as they could not afford that?.

Did you know that it is illegal to pay a worker less than minimum 10,000naira for a day of work in Canada Fools, you are not talking about Greece or Spain ooo!! Lol

Canada can take over Naija by force any day and Naija can not defend itself again our force...I'm sure you know this...so be quiet please, k

Hahahahahahaha!!! tongue tongue tongue

I have been trying so hard №† Τ̅☺ reply this retarded, buh it lky I can't just take it . WTF i̶̲̥̅̊s̤̥̈̊ wit this canadian bullshit. Yeah Canada i̶̲̥̅̊s̤̥̈̊ developed i̶̲̥̅̊s̤̥̈̊ dat y a white assshit shuld speak trash abt my county. This asshole shuld get d F out of this Forum

blink182: So you own a BB because its in the top 5? Talking like you knew bb's position before this happened.

I am really sorry for people like you who buy stuff for buying sake without seeing any tangible service it can offer you.

Poverty atimes make some one sound prudent.
Re: RIM (BlackBerry) Falls From Top 5 In Global Smartphone Sales by PGON(m): 1:15pm On Aug 02, 2012
4bobo: Current Top 5 are
1.Samsung
2.Apple
3.Nokia
4.Htc
5.Zte (first time ever)
sorry bb o. May be nigerian are keeping you alive. Or they should start android bb lol. But seriously, out of the top current top 5 now , 3 are running on android os despite their legal battles with apple. It seems it has come to stay at least for now.


http://www.globalnews.ca/rim+no+longer+among+top+5+smartphone+makers/6442687730/story.html

Why is Tecno not in the list. Tecno phones sold in only one state in Nigeria is enough to get the company into the Top 5.
They should go back and do another statistics, this one is wrong.

ollah1: I'm still wondering why you can't copy paste with the keypad on a bb and why you phone gets hot when you turn on 3G.

Use your 'shift' key to copy(^|aA)....
If u are using opera, press and hold your track pad.....
My nokia 3120c also heats up anytime I turn on 3G... Most phones heat up on 3G.... And 3G consumes more battery life on all phones....

chucky234: The manufacturers were ranked based on market shares (sales), if it were to be based on quality then HTC will be up there on second as its One S and One X is only bettered by Samsung galaxy S3.
Nokia is no where near 5th in terms of quality as the only Nokia phone worthy of mention is the failed Lumia 900,the ranking should be done based on quality because many Nlanders don't even know what market shares are.
its true nOkia doesnt make d top 5. . .but check anywhere it makes the top 10 based on quality and d highly rated torch(abi shey na touch) isnt even in tpo 20. . .EVEN motorola has their smartphone in top 10 confirm anywhere,infact google it. . .wiki it. . .bing it(which other search engine) infact sef.,NairaLand it...
