dan_dollar: @aomom,do u subscribe to any data outside MTN bis to use the hotspot? Or it works with mtn BIS?

Techwhiz:

Hey Guys.. Free Hotspots now available! For those of us that have had issues with upgrading their BB playbook OS (due to the large file size and slow internet connectivity) downloading games, media and other stuff, there are now a few blazing fast hotspots around town (Lagos). And guess what the best part is - its Free!. Just follow @EasyFix_ng on twitter, and tweet with the hashtag #BBhotspot to get your free passkey.

TCD: if you wipe a playbook it takes you through the whole setup process again and it'll ask you to download the latest update. Found that out yesterday when I wiped.

Not saying your PB is refurbished but 52k for a 64gb sounds very enticing that's like $328. Meanwhile RIM retails for $299 on their website. Add shipping costs, customs, profit etc. Abi those people no like profit or maybe coz nobody dey buy they just slashed prices to clear stock. Anyway, the koko of my story, make una shine eye wella before you buy o.

Chizzybenjamin:
@ TCD u seem 2 b d pro ard along sum guys here.I rily wanna join but news keeps jamming of RIMs bouyancy which is making me worried.am not a freak 4 BB truly but am swayed w d PB,rily sleek plus d data cst.So shud I hop in?
Plus wat BB fones r best used w it,is it frm bold 2 up?

TCD: Hello, everyone has peculiar needs, so don't want to advice you on which to go for based on my own personal views. But choosing between a playbook and galaxy tab, you'll have to first define what you need a tablet for. Do you want to just read docs, surf or just play games? Or are you into movies etc surf like that.

For me, I see no much major difference between the playbook and the galaxy tab. Except the galaxy tab can accept a sim card and you can make calls ( i personally find it ridiculous to make calls with a 7" device). The playbook doesn't accept sim card and you can access the Web by bridging it with your blackberry using bluetooth. It's advantageous coz you don't have to pay for extra data plan like you would do if you own a galaxy tab rather you're using the same BIS for your phone and tablet Like me now on MTN unlimited I stream you tube Videos, watch movies online,download HD tv series , I even watched yesterday's champs league finals via a Web stream with my PB bridged to my bb phone. I'm already contemplating not subscribing for DSTV next month sef coz I no need am again

efewhoa: getting my BP and my curve 9320 nxt week from the uk. Super excited but abit scared because i dont knw if'll be able to carryout the upgrade by myself. Stil cant wait tho!

sandraa: Hey Guys please am having issues with my playbook ID

when i got my playbook somebody there used his id to test the playbook and installed the new OS for me,

Since then i have not been able to log in with my own ID cos i need WIFI.

Now am where there is WIFI and it tells me i cant change the ID that i can only log in with the original ID that was registered with the Playbook.

Please what do i do next cos am already going crazy here!

Reset the playbook. Flush the previous details out. Hope you do not have any data saved on the pb ?

Lexusgs430:


The easiest way for you, is to ask to sender what OS is presently installed on the pb, if it is still OS1, ask them to update it for you to OS2. @ least almost every home in the uk has wifi connectivity.

alstacs:

Thanks TCD for building up our confidence and getting us to know these straight Nigerians.

I am in the process of sealing my deal for a 64G PB for only 55 K.

Guys, what are you waiting for?

sandraa: @ TCD i have gone thru this forum all over again some of you post are missing?

like a particular site to download bar files.

please give me the link again.

and others too!

please where are your post?

TCD: if she resets she'll go back to factory settings and will have to go thru the whole wifi setup again. But thats her only option if she really wants to change that ID

efewhoa: can somE please tell me what i'll need to use the curve 9320 as a wireless hotspot on mtn?

Lexusgs430:

We speak the same language my playbook friend !!!

TCD: some links are on Page 8 of this thread check again

Lexusgs430:

I do not think much, just update firmware to OS 7.1. Some networks would allow hotspot without a data bundle, while others wouldn't.

dan_dollar: TCD,seems some of these games and apps are paid applications in application world. Are they free on these site u specified on pg 8?

TCD: if you have credit card, can pay for them on app world, then nothing wrong in doing so. if you don't, then get them free from those links.

TCD: if she resets she'll go back to factory settings and will have to go thru the whole wifi setup again. But thats her only option if she really wants to change that ID

dan_dollar: lol! Pay for them? OK o.
