beedam: Please can anyone advice me,I want to get a Q10. How good is the phone please?
Sorry ma, was a bit busy ni.... If you'd take my candid opinion, getting an android fone is the best now.... The only thing bb users exclusively has is coming on IOS n android, so the logical thing to do is to get am android or iphone which have lots of things than bb...... Get the s4 for example, and you'd not regret it, try checking on phone sale threads n see how people r trading their bbs even for tecno android phone... That shows that bb is eons behind the rest of the smartphone world...... To me, d bb is not worth calling a smartphone at this age n time...... But the Q10.is still a good phone..... If it's given to me as a gift, i won't blink an eyelid before exchanging it for even an s3

I haven't actually bought a phone there. I stay in ph for the most part. As you can see phones are quite cheaper there so I wanna give them a shot. But sheelay recommends them so they must be good

Nope, i don't..... Had some sometimes ago, but none now..... How does that concern my disagreement with what u said, what u r saying is wrong, cos may e u used a phone n something went wrong doesn't mean u should generalise all phones......

sheelay:

Let's make this an intelligible disagreement or argument, if u must, so people will be better informed.
Pick a 2yrs old Nokia N8 or Samsung Galaxy SII and compare the screen with an LSD unit, say Nokia 701 or HTC One X. U will notice, if u watch movie in the both units, that where the background should be black, what the N8 or SII will produce is annoying yellow tints/hue.

Amoled screens are made from organic materials and as such they are prone to degradation, they have relatively short lifespan compared to LCD units.

Why most of us buy used phones is not just because they are cheaper than new ones but because u get a bigger and better experience than wat the money can get in the new phone's department. Say for example, if 40,000 can get u a new phone with 5mp camera and 1ghz single core processor and u learn from someone that the same money can get u a used but neat phone with 8 to 13mp camera and perhaps, 1.5ghz dual or quad core processor. Better percentage of us will decide against the new one and buy the used one.

I only want to enlighten us on the importance of the choice we make when choosing these used phones. Some of us are not rich enough to buy phones every year or six months so it is very important that we choose wisely. Check the screen type of the device u are buying and if it is Amoled, then it is important u also know when the company started producing that phone. Nokia N8, C7, X7, E7, Samsung Galaxy S and SII, all the 2011 phones downwards, chances are that the ones u find as used ones are already with this problem. You might get lucky and find one that is not upto a year old and still has a good screen but we can't always count on luck. But SIII should be fine since it hasn't been that long the comany started making them but then again if u are not planning to buy another one anytime soon it's probably better to stay away.

I will say it again, stay away from used galaxy s, s2, s3 and all nokia used phones. Look for second hand phones with LCD displays. But if u think I am only saying this because, as Sheelay said, I used a bad unit and is now generalizing, then u have my apology for taking ur time.

Happy spending.

pls, I av a HTC Droid incredible 2. I like changing phones a lot. so, I was thinking of making at least 20k of my HTC. and get extra 10k. Can I get an Android that will be better than Droid incredible 2.
was thinking of switching to Windows but it doesn't support opera and many things so... an android will do.
ps: my HTC incredible 2 is really incredible (gingerbread) 8mp cam, front camera, 728 ram, 1 gig internal memory. Never lags. I even use it to download torrents.
