Finally got the HTC Desire Z. I love d big screen & nice keypad... not yet a touch-only fan. Excellent hardware & software.

Battery is terrible... lasts just 4-5 hrs on heavy usage, doesn't last a day on standby. Overall, awesome phone. RIP Nokia.

On sgs2 ics

Dat thing don't work on my desire s too. It installed....was reading running...........but never read any of my messages, so I uninstalled the thing sharp sharp.
Personally,I don't like installing apps that haven't been downloaded like 100,000 times.

Whygo for a xoom when there are other better tablets out there?

Please droid fanboys.... List ur apps and their uses so that novices like me can seek for them...

I am about to buy an Xperia arc from a friend for 65k. I want to know stuffs like ;if the phone can run the latest andriod, it's battery life, if it's worth the price.
Thanks.

which tablet is better than Xoom? Please don't mention iPad, am into android. Still reeling from my stolen Desire S....best phone ever

Dude brand new arc sells for 58k. Yes its upgradeable to ics, battery life is mediocre. I know a company in lag called Dallas. I could give you one of their numbers

Brand new desire s at affordables in computer village goes for 52k.

Their prices at affordables is suspect. How can they sell Desire for 59k and then sell Desire S for 52k? Can anyone confirm the authenticity of their products cause am looking at buying the bold 6. Don't like using the same phone twice else might get the Desire S

linkin8k: which tablet is better than Xoom? Please don't mention iPad, am into android. Still reeling from my stolen Desire S....best phone ever

To mention a few...Asus Transformer, Transformer Prime, Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1...

Well cant fully vouch for AFFORDABLES cos most of their stuff are refurbished tho they sell brand new to sha.
I can vouch for DSCL as per brand new stuff n dia recent price for Desire S is N59K.
I bought mine from them and I want to sell it at N60K cos am giving it off with an OOTTERBOX COMMUTER CASING which costs $38 i.e about N8k . . . . so i think mine is a fair deal

@linkin8k
ehen.....if by bold 6 u me dat bold touch .... hmmmmy professional advice is to stay away oh cos dat fone has serious battery issues
well do ur research well sha

Any thoughts on the upcoming LG Optimus 4X HD...quad core and all?

Yea its the newer bold touch thats slim, ain't all bb phone batteries bad? plus my HTC desire S wasn't so solid in the battery department too. My plan is to get an Android tablet and a bb....would love to use the Desire S again but lemme experiment with a bb

Hope am not commiting sacrilege talking bout a bb on this sacred Android forum

texazzpete:

Your 'we don't really know about Motorola stuff in Nigeria' line is 100% Bullcrap.

In tablets, common sense dictates that the lighter, the better. You DO spend a lot of time holding it one-handed, after all.

Since you're so hell-bent on buying a generation 1 Tegra-2 powered Xoom which is built like a brick, don't let me (or common sense!) stop you. people with discerning minds know that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus Transformer are far better tabs than the Xoom. The Transformer has ICS now anyway.

this was d exact reason why i didnt bother to respond at first

@linkin8k ... like Tex said if u r bent on buying xoom then just buy it .... but know dat d Asus or Samsung far far and by far outweighs Motorola's Xoom
