naturalwaves: Until we have an effective wireless system in Nigeria where one can easily connect to, BLACKBERRY and not phones that drink credits like water will still maintain the No 1 spot in Nigeria.

naturalwaves:

Yeah, Multi tasking is a very good thing in technology and that was why the Microsoft OS sold a lot when it was first introduced.Playing games on mobile phones is not much of a bad idea provided they are soft ones like Chess, River test etc but the way my friends mention and describe the type of HD games they play,it looks so serious like something that will be similar to handling a proper console.That was Y I said that.Nice argument U got there though.

azpekuliar:

Hahahaha...You completely lost that argument! Ciphoenix killed you right there man!

Lmao...@ mobile HD gaming being childish. Dumbest shitt I ever heard.

naturalwaves:

....And what's bad in losing a debate even if u think I did?
Yeah, playing serious HD games like a proper console on a mobile device is childish...I still maintain my stance on this.

You must have been living under a cave. The future of the gaming industry is in smartphone based games. Aside paid game apps, in-app game purchases is one of the highest sources of gaming revenues on the ios & andriod app stores and are already eclipsing the revenues of Nintendo & Sony. As smartphone use broadens, more and more people are choosing to play games on the move.

all4naija:

I still think the future of gaming is going to be on consoles as usual.

bukky1: try a tecno phantom (f7) or a Gionee Dream (d1) n u will b singing a new song. Android has come to take over and stay!!!!!!!!! i know the ISPs are working reak hard about the internet subscriptions. BBs are nt really worth it nowadays due to high price. havent u noticed the BB torch 3 n Z10 which they made with a feel of the andriod? thats to tell u that they are now trying to catch up with the trend.

druid06: I've never really liked the blackberry phone.As an iPhone user, I'm not just being descriminating or being biased because of my love for iPhone. I just don't like that phone. The behaviour of Nigerian users who irritatingly flaunt their blackberry phones has made me have a total distaste for that phone out of the norm. First, it has battery problems, the batteries never last. I understand that all smart phone are that way but that of BB is just worse. Most of the programs on there are always crashing when you're doing something important init. I bought a fairly used one from a friend because of the cheap internet service, I couldn't use it for a week, It was so annoying that I sold it for a lesser amount than I got it. If you want to use a smart phone that's not all too expensive why not try good phones like the samsumg galaxy, nokia too has some nice phones and I just saw an advert from Motorola with this new touch screen smart phone. Backberry is just total crap. Q.E.D.

llouis: BB will soon be extinct, like how the computer fazed out the typewriter, or how the disc man fazed out the walkman, its only a matter of time.

Technologies come and go, at one time we used floppy diskettes on our computers, then zip drives, then flash drives, then external disks and now we have solid states.

The time will come in the near future that data rates in nigeria will crash, at that time bb wud cease to exist. Its time has come and gone, we need to embrace new technology to keep up with the changing times.

Truth be told, RIM is fighting a war it knows it can no longer win. When everything goes sideways they will fold up and count their losses. Nigeria is way to small to keep them running.
By then Apple would have developed cheaper products like its ipad mini and samsung also would follow suit.

In another 5 years or less apps like whatsapp would replace bbm and we would all come back to this thread to reminisce the days when bb was a status symbol

solomonkane: Can't help feeling sorry for all the "tech savvy' cretins ranting on this thread; "BB is bad, Iphone is good"; who gives a rat's furry crack? None of you had any hand in producing or designing them yet you're screaming as if your sperm(s) were the essential ingredient deployed in creating or destroying these gadgets. He that wants a BB should get a BB, don't hate what you can't have, he that wants an Apple, Android or Samsung smartphone should do same. You are all Nigerians and when RIM, Apple, Samsung et al look at you, all they see are dollar signs. E.O.D!!!
