So a 100K Z10 is now competing with a paltry 15K tecno phone? That says it all. Blackberry is a rip off. Only girls find it interesting cos of their nonsense pinging and badoo. Abeg who knws if their are data plans for legitimate browsing and downloads for andriod fones cos I don plan to dash ma younger brother dis ma BB, that na even if he go even collect am sef.

I cringe when I come across threads that compare Blacberries to Droids. Naija is known to always carry last when it comes to technology and developments.
The only other phone manufacturer that's in the same class is.. well Apple.

@Those saying Z10s gettin android apps. That the biggest joke I ever heard. The BB10 OS is a major improvement by Blackberry (formerly RIM) but dey arent gettin android apps. And to make mayyers worse its gona tak a while for developers to take the OS seriously thats if the franchise survives. People shud read up more on stuf.

thelastPope:

This is not exactly correct. Blackberry uses a compression technique to save data but this does not apply to every Internet function in BB. It applies mainly to chat and email. Now with BB10, the BBM has been separated from the other Internet access. The reason BB still saves data is because the applications don't access the Internet like droid apps. If you control your data access in droid, you can achieve the same data efficiency.

Also, with BB10, blackberry phones will consume data just like any droid phones. The reason it is still cool in Nigeria is because most Nigerians mainly do chat and email. By the time you start downloading badazz apps and doing regular updates and playing online games, you go know say kaki no be leather.

BB is already going the way of the dinosaurs and BB10 was a very weak attempt at come back. Whatsapp is certainly about to send bbm to oblivion. BB's days are numbered.

As in. I try to educate them buh I end up looking arrogant which am not. It's like a whole world waiting to be explored but the bandwagon effect wouldn't allow them see. Technology is mad now and you're still stickin to yer Blackberry?

rman: I will continue to say it that all these TECHNO kids need to validate thier choice of phone by bashing BB.

If Android is great for your purposes, fine, if it is IOS or Windows Fine.

Coming online to rant about BB users preference shows you are pained they have their own click ( especially in Nigeria ), which you don't belong.

It is not everyone that plays games, it is not everyone that watch movies on phone, it is not everyone that buys BB to ping.

But, if I like pinging, why should anyone discourage me from buying the phone with the best chat platform ( BBM )?

We all cant use the same phone. And yes, some buy expensive phone because it just fits their class not because they are not aware there are cheaper ones. Can this same arguement be made for wrist watches? They all tell time shey? So why buy an espensive wrist watch?

Nigerians rant about the number selling IT product in computer village.

I have used all the high end phones and can blodly say the best phones in the world right now are ( not in any particualrt order):

The LUMINA 920
SAMSUNG S3 ( S4 should be better)
IPHONE 5
Blackberry z10/q10
SONY XPERA X
and finally, the newly lauched HTC ONE.

True multitasking, live tiles, smooth OS, phone and data security, Keyboard,camera, fast browsers with flash support, beautiful hardware, clear call reception signal etc are key features of a good phone.

To the techno FANS? Tell me which of the above parameters does your 15k techno do better than BB10? People that can not afford proper game consoles have substituted them with phones. smh



Lol.. Don't mind the Technolites.. The phone maker was smart enough to tap into the android market but still has issue with the previous (china phone) reputation the phone had, hence the low prices. Buh dey get more than double the value for their money can't argue that with them.

And to ur best fones list.. Scratch Q10. Add Galaxy Note II. Yes S4 is dedinitely better than S3. Agree with the rest although Lumia 920 is more of aesthetic beauty.

So everone in the world is a Nigerian. On the same forum that some of you claim blackberry is dead?

Facts will be rubbish for an ignorant mind. So, if a phone is not launched officially here that means you can not use it here. My S2 was the T-MOBILE version. Go figure how I got it. I bought the Z10 before it was launched here, you can figure that out too.

Nairaland so full of ignorant kids that think they know.

And for your big part, some ofyou don't know the kind of people you respondto on anonymous forums. 10years plus experience in IT/Telecoms industry isn't a joke. I bet you are still in school 10 years ago.

Learn to respond to people properly even if you have a contrary opinion

As both an iphone and bb user. Av used so many apps and games on the iphone(I jailbroke it). In my opinion its a personal preference thing. I found android interface in the galaxy s3 a bit washed out and ugly(without mixing words). I also watched a review on youtube where the dude playing spiderman game On the note2 kept on saying its smoother on the iphone. Now the Z10 is a big leap from bold5,it may not have the apps but it has the capability(os-hardware integration) to run as any flagship smartphone should and even the few good games (nova3,spiderman and asphalt7 etc) run smoother than on the galaxy series. Even if I were 2 buy a fone just to make calls,text and surf the web,I'd say the size of the galaxy s4 or note2 is ridiculous for my daily needs. Forget all these games and gimmicky apps, most of us on this thread don't get to use up to 1/100 of what android/iphones have to offer and its nothing to be ashamed about.most of us wld tire from HD games within 3/4months sef like me. Just pick a device that suits ur daily needs and not what the next joe is carrying and u won't need to argue which is better/not for everyone.

Lagusta:

abeg lets face facts....

The only thing a BB can do is just PINGING!!! And that has been taken over by whatsapp...

A droid can play HD games, serve as a wireless hotspot, superfast downloads, over 600,000 free apps....

I know some BB fans will say bold5,6 and curve7 can also serve as a wireless hotspot, but i heard you need credit to do that, apart from the BIS subscription, but with a droid, its FREEEEEEEE!!!!!

Why buy a 100K Z10 when you can buy an infinix or tecno for 12-15K, with better value for money!!!
ur wrong about payin for hot spot browing for wireless by bb users..my curve 2 surf d net tru wireless hot spot browser witout a peny in ma account
