Good day guys. There is something now that is very common among us here in Nigeria now, which is the fact that people carry a 7-Inch device or bigger about as a mobile phone. One example of such devices which seem to be most popular amongst users is the Tecno Droipad, and while this seem inappropriate, it also seems to be what most Average Nigerians have settled for.

I don't understand what reasons are responsible for this act and would love to if someone could explain to me, but yet I'm 100% convinced already that there is not explanation for such.

Its Just so so akward for people to call a 7-inch device "My Phone" or "phone" self, using it to make calls by placing the full 7-inch on their face, and collecting people number with it, or even using whatsapp with it especially in public places like a bus! cos 7-inch device is obviously a tablet!! And tablets where built to serve a different purpose from Phones.

I just felt like letting this out of my mind. Please if you are among them, save money and buy a phone! Even if na touch lite. And keep your tab at home. Or use it in private for other stuffs, not as a regular phone. Its not proper.

Poor man mentality, I
use a tablet and still keep a small nokia phone in my pocket, so I shouldn't use my tablet in public, silly post, LOCAL PERSON

To me it's really awkward. But ur last paragraph spoilt ur good observation. You show ur anger, arrogance and trying to force every other person to buy ur idea hook, line and sinker. Pls next time detach ur emotions from the subject matter to enable u make a sound observation and judgement.

How did you determine that using a 7-inch device as phone is inappropriate?

And to think you actually made these bolded statements! Wtf!

So I can't whatsapp with my tab in public? I should leave my tab at home? Is it a desktop computer? Save money to buy a phone? Do you even know how much most of this tabs cost in comparison to regular phones?

I give up!

You missed the point about instant messaging (whatsapp). On a 7in tab, your chats are easily visible to the person seating next to you in a bus. Loss of privacy is what's the concern here

ohh jesus christ!!! Laptops use modems!

And smart phones don't use modems? How on earth do you think they are able to connect to the Internet?

By modems you are referring to those USB dongles. However long before smartphone became trendy some laptops have always had built-in GSM modems where you slot in your sim like you do on phones. I know some models on Lenovo Thinkpad had this feature.

There is no law prohibiting one to place his face on a device when making calls.

If it's not comfortable with you, it is for others. You don't tag it improper because it's not comfortable with you. One man's food, they say, is another man's poison.

... And yes, I place my face on my laptop to make calls when head/earphone is not handy.
Then you don dae enter mental be that oooo

I would say receiving calls by placing it on ur face is awkward. but carrying it around is normal
Yes...when I mean carring about tho...I mean, holding it in your hands like you would hold a phone and carry it up and down...

IMO, tablets are not meant to be used as an everyday use as phone. No!!
.
Its meant to read, listen to music and watch movies; reason for its larger screen size.
.
So if you use it as phone and even place it on your face just as it is, yes its your money/device but you are so dumb & portray the full features of an illiterate.

do you have a 7 incher tab? The difference between a seven inch tab and 6 inch fone is minute. If carrying 7 incher tab is a problem den walking around with a 6 incher fone is also a problem. I find it more convenient using my 7 incher tab. Though I av a Nokia torch which I rarely use.
Actually its 1-inch, which is also the diff between infinix hot/ galaxy s4 and iphone 5/5s

And I bet you consider iPhone 5 small in size..

well ur opinion doesn't count. I think u are the one that is silly, finding fault where there is none. Using a tablet is by choice, mind ur business
Just as not going to school is by choice..
Not eating is by choice...
Taking Danfo than Brt is by choice....
Working for airtel than chevron is by choice...

People are free to make choices, but that does not mean the choices made are 'right!'

That is another issue bro. I went to s wedding last week and this chick was taking pictures with her iPad. She thought she was taking better pictures and was forming levels. I pulled out my phone, took a picture and showed her and she was amazed how good the picture turned out. This girl actually had an LG g3 which takes far better pictures than an iPad, but ignorance no let am. Tablets have cameras for emergency pictures only, but not for taking main pictures. That is why they all have low quality cameras compared to phones.
True bro. But some people prefer to keep photos on their tablets for better viewing. It's not always a matter of ignorance it's just preference. I'm curious pls what are emergency pictures?

You can still send and transfer to the tab later.
