Fellow Nairalanders,
I've been using a feature phone (Nokia C2-01), and now I want to upgrade to some smartphone, Android, or Symbian.
I have 25,000 Naira. So pls, what brand& model of smartphone do you think I can buy at such price range

Why dont you check out samsung galaxy pocket. its a great piece of gadget powered by android os. 18,500 at SLOTLIMITED.

Thought about buying that. It is as low as 17,500 in my location, but I dnt lyk Samsung devices!
I'd rather buy a Nokia symbian device than go for a samsung's android.
My choice platform is android of course, but not Samsung's.

I'm more interested in Android devices. Symbian can come 2nd. Blackberry is the last thing I'll want to own!
Thank you very much for your suggestion though.

Thnx 4 ur suggestion. I appreciate.

I'll be grateful for some more suggestions.
Budget android smartphones below 30k. With modest specs.

Good Evening everyone.
Don't tire of my request. I believe a phone is a gadget you must be absolutely certain about buying before actually buying it. I don't want a device I'll regret buying, I need a device I can still look at after a year and not regret buying.
Thank you all. Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Went to buy the HTC Explorer (Pico) and this silly ppl were telling me it's #50k!
No other phone caught my fancy.
Pls Nairalanders, I live in d Northern part of Naija. Anyone down here with even a fairly used smartphone I can buy shud contact me. I'll appreciate.

I need more suggestions pls.
