With a slide phone like this, for me personally, there wouldn't be any need to carry multiple gadgets about. I don't know what the price is going to be when it hits naija. However, anyone who can get it between now and december (new or fairly used from jand) should let me know on this thread. The price would determine if I can take the risk to buy. But I'll run down for christmas if I do, sure banka.
