tunjitsu: I know events have overtaken some of the points I have written here, but I'll still post this here anyway:

(Mirrored on TECNOs Facebook Page) :

Several Issues have been raised here. I'll take them one at a time:

ISSUE 1. The tecno N3 and N7 are said to quickly run out of internal memory, and after installing a few apps, people get 'insufficient MEMORY' errors.
SOLUTION: The solution to this is simple:

A. ROOT your tecno phone, (and sadly void your warranty. Its necessary, unfortunately),

B. Partition your phones External 8Gb SD card using "mini partition tool wizard" on a Computer,

C. Install Link2Sd from the android APP store, and use it to link subsequent installs on to your device to your new memory card partition.

I was able to figure out how to do all these by simply using google, and reading up on XDA developer threads. If you cant do this on your own because of abject laziness, or extreme illiteracy and ignorance, then its nobodys fault. Go to ikeja and pay charlatans to do it for you, because you cant comprehend plain english.

SUGGESTION: TECNO, please partition and install Link2SD for your customers before releasing future devices. It will reduce negative feedback on your product, even though the problem was not your fault to start with, but that of the gingerbread O/S

ISSUE 2. The TECNO N7 costs too much money, and needs 1GB of Ram

Solution : Very few Apps "NEED" 1gb of ram. Most run just fine on 512MB. Having said that, 1gb makes the device compare well with other smart phones in the 5 inch category. The real issue is the cost. This N7 thing will buy almost 3 tecno N3 phones. Thats horrible, and totally unacceptable. Tecno, don't Spoil the goodwill you have worked hard to earn. Keep your RAM if you must, but definitely drop that price below 20k. Don't be silly and greedy

Suggestion : Tecno Should release a standard model of the phone with 512 ram and going for less than 20k, while maintaining a "Deluxe" model with 1GB ram, and other bells and whistles and leave that one at 23 - 27k (Forget this 30k nonsense) . The 7k jump seems insane, but that just shows you that its too high to start with.

ISSUE 3 : Android 4.0 is expired. we need jellybean 4.2

Solution: Jellybeans source isnt open yet. It cant be ported trivially, and this is why several high end phones are still stuck with ICS(4.0). Only the likes of the Nexus 7, and Galaxy S3, and some other chosen few phones can have jelybean for now. If you MUST have jellybean at all costs, you can try installing Cyanogen mod 10.1 on your device. This will, of course, void your warranty, and might brick your phone too, but thats the price of being at the cutting edge.

Suggestion: Tecno, keep your ears to the ground. Once jellybean source is released, kindly port and release here as well. We will repay you with our continued loyalty and support. Also, roll out ICS (4.0) as an optional upgrade for N3 users. Some of us have installed custom ICS roms on the N3 and it works perfectly well. Do an official 4.0 rom for N3, and we will know you are concerned and customer friendly.

In summary; TECNO, do the right thing, and you will sell. Get greedy, and you will miss the bus. Nigerians asking for how to root your phone, and install simple apps, Educate yourselves. Use the internet. The answers are out there.

francis247: +10000 likes. A phone of 1gb of RAM on JB @ 23 - 27k, Omo I go run 4 my life o. Anyways, you can't blame them kos I've noticed that it's the N3 and other users of Tecno android devices that are whining about the price of this one. That shows that if not 4 Tecno, they most likely wouldn't have access to an Android device, let alone a new one. What I have to say is, anyone who is not ok with the price and would prefare one with 1gb RAM, Android 4.1.2 JB OS, scratch resistant gorilla glass protection, Bluetooth 4.0, 1080p @30fps video recording, 8mp camera, 21mb per sec download speed, automatic brightness, active noise cancellation with dedicated mic, 8gb of internal memory and other effizies that goes with using a high end Android device from a popular brand Such as Samsung should know that there are options out there kos while the N7 is selling at 29,500 on 4 instance, Samsung Galaxy Grand duos with the afore mentioned specs sells at 64k. The choice is yours. You get what you pay 4.

MasterPDON: Adreno 305?? You sure say na $184??

Kamaye: Another real competitor to N7 Lumia 520 was annaunced today by Nokia the phone is as cheap as the N7 with similar specs and price just 184$ about 28k in naira. tecno should increase the RAM of N7 or atleast review the price otherwise..... the specs at a glance. 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100 - RM-914

kemshade: where can i got d tecno n7 at a cheapest price in lagos,nd hw are d picture quality

MasterPDON: It sounds more like it's the complainants that are greedy here. A phone with 1GB RAM and Jelly bean OS for 27k or LESS?? Come on... Nobody is forcing or begging anyone to buy the phone. If they're not OK with the RAM or the OS, they should go to the market, buy a samsung galaxy or a sony ericson (or whatever it is that will satisfy them) with a 1GB RAM and count their change when they get back home (if at all they come back with any)

ibietela2:

Did you send this to tecno?

Lawalmd: I don't know why people are being so unrealistic, how would you expect tecno to sell the n7 at the same price range as the n3
people try to be patriotic here this company is trying to get android to every one and we are here complaining about price, do you know how many people have joined the android band wagon because of tecno's intro to android?

sarry86:

How did you install a custom rom on your device? Do you have a clockworkmod installed and if yes, where did you get it from? I'm stuck with a stock rom here :-(

tunjitsu: If not
for TECNO's properly priced N3, we MAYBE
mostly won't have android devices.

tunjitsu: As i pointed out, the N7
would buy almost THREE N3's!!!!!

tunjitsu: First of all, lets clarify one thing: the iteration
of the stock rom should have zero impact on
the price of the device. So Jellybean or Froyo
or Gingerbread or whatever, the price
shouldnt be affected.

tunjitsu: I am simply pointing
out that there is demand for this feature, so
when it becomes relatively TRIVIAL for
Tecno to do it, (as it WILL become), THEN
they should add it as a Value Added service
for customers, like most Major (And minor)
phone manufacturers in other countries do.

tunjitsu: All Im saying is that I am ADVICING
Tecno NOT to make the mistakes of their
predecessors with price setting. Other
people have "broken in" with fair prices, and
then "gotten greedy" in Nigeria before. If
TECNO wants to reach the very top, they
should not make this mistake.

MasterPDON: Even the mighty Galaxy S3 doesn't come with jellybean out of the box. If they (tecno dudes) feel it's necessary to give us an update, they WILL
