I have an HTC Hero that I bought from affordables on the 7th of july for sale. Never been dropped, very clean. My reason for wanting to sell is because I don't quite like touch phones, when they start making android phones with keypad, i will definately go back to android, with so many free applications from the market.

My no is 08098204098, 08084204084. email trippleconsent@yahoo.co.uk

Only serious buyers need call or mail. The pack with d accessories and the reciept all available. Thank you.

I have Tevci DroidPad from Tevci - Nigeria Best Android Tablet PC as stated on there website http://www.tevci.com They are great and also it really work great with most USB modem tested with it.
Glad that Nigerians are in the market of Android Tablets. At least we are not left behind. LoL

with 256mb ram and a ARM processor?

that thing is 20k shey?

cos i dunno what u will be able to do with that processor and ram, as in really, the average phone has better specs and you still cannot do much with them considering. . . . . .

hmmn, wellz, me thinks its a rebranded chink, and with bad specs at that, at least bump the ram to 1 gb to compensate a bit

WTF!

No Ethernet Jack or 3G wireless and the only means of internet connection is Wi-Fi?

well it support 3G and i am happy using it anyway,

I have tried to locate these Encipher guys in Lagos without success. Something tells me they are not real. NAIRALANDERS BEWARE OF PRE-ORDER MEANT TO ROB YOU!

Who knows where to get cheap tablets running Android in Lagos?
Cheap as in N30k-N40k.

I also need a tablet for a moderate price just for my ebooks; has to be android. I would be grateful if anybody could help with a shop address and pricelist. Something between 30 & 40k.

A friend offered me a budget Asian 7inch tablet for 40k about 10 days back
he had collected it from his friend who came back from the states
I told him I'd give him the deposit two days later but declined saying i couldn't raise the initial 30k deposit
by then I'd seen it cost $100 in the states and after doing the math,i saw one of them would be making a massive profit off me
Since like you, i planned to use it mainly for PDF books, i would have gone for it at 25k
Yet I read up it didnt support Andriod marketplace and it ran Anriod 2.2
So do your research well before icing that budget tablet

@ochukoccna, thanks a lot. I will be very careful + I won't move near a pre-order with what I went through the other time. lol
