my advice....do not buy it, and if u must, d guy is likely to tell u to send d courier money first, don't.... Google trader is flooded with scammers, don't fall victim....if its real on the other hand, something is definitely wrong with d Fone....gs3 for 15k, run pls....even d s3 mini uk used wouldnt go as cheap as 30k,not to talk of the s3 itself......if he asks for delivery money first, tell him to send that you'd pay COD (cash on delivery)

my advice.... its a new phone n there'd still be bugs on it software......why dont u go for the s3 instead, it'd be more stable.....
Re: Thinking Of Getting A Smartphone? Come In For Advice! by jideaffo(m): 4:26pm On Jun 19, 2013
@mrdrizzy, thanks for your response. Actually a friend coming home frm US wants to buy it for me, but he said he hasn't found an unlocked one. Another option is Apple ipad2 wifi+3g locked. Should I ask him to suspend d purchase because d phone will be pretty useless if am not able to unlock it in Naija... What other cool phone aside BB can I ask him to buy for me. Thanks
PS- d ipad is a used one.

ohk cool..well if u still need the tab just tell ur frnd to ask him(seller) him if he has the unlock code(some sellers are jst too lazy to unlock) with that u can be able to unlock it,bout the tab ish also..u could also look into hisense sero 7 pro thats like d perfect replacement for the ipad bt its on android os,bout the fone ish,well u could get a galaxy note 1(190-250$ unlocked in mint condition on ebay) or the htc one x(200-260 16gb in mint condition) there are others like nexus 4 which i saw @ 320$ last..whichever works bro
