Truth be told: China and Tecno phones are selling a great deal in Computer Village. And this is the central Phone market in Nigeria!!!

Hey fellow 9jas, it's funny seeing u guys listing BB and iphone as part of the most used phones in 9ja. BB & iphone are only common among rich once, while china phone is common among the middle class & d poor once, while nokia is used by all classes. You can get a cheap nokia, u can also get a very expensive one, and no doubt about it been the most rugged phone. Nokia put all level of richness into consideration, and that is why it's the most popular phone. The second most popular phone is china phone. It is been appreciated by d middle class & d poor, it is flashy & cheap. My own ranking is (1)Nokia (2)china phone (3)Samsung (4)LG (5)BBmost popular phone is china phone.

For me it should be:

Nokia
Samsung
LG
Blackberry
Sony Ericsson/Moto

Anyone putting BB or iPhone ahead of Nokia and Samsung does not know anything about Nigeria's mobile phone market. Remember the question was "What Are The Top 5 Cell Phones Used In Nigeria?" not your top five most preferred cell phones. So, it is about current user base (It is not even about current sales which I still believe Nokia and Samsung is still ahead of the rest). Nokia and Samsung sale more phones in Nigeria than the rest put together. This is because they make great phones at a good bargain. BlackBerry comes with outdated hardware and are overpriced. iPhone (by iPhone i mean iPhone 4, if you are still using iPhone 3GS you are using outdated hardware that belongs to the museum) is on the class of its own but out of the reach of most Nigerians.

I did not include Chinese because they are fakes and made from unorganised and unreconisable brands. Although Techno, which is gaining in popularity, has sold lots of phones in the past months, but I do not think they have sold enough phones to have grown their user base to rival the ones I have listed. It takes years to build user base. Nokia did not do it in a year.

You can go for the Nokia E6 and E7, which are already in the market or you may wait for the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900, which will be hitting the market soon.

i think china phones especially TECHNO phones is on top especially in lagos.its quite affordable and it lasts.but u guys never noticed that most original nokia and samsung phones are all made in china just for african market.gone are those days when we see nokia phones made in hungary and finland.i could remember when nokia 3310 came out.it was made in europe and very heavy.some years after it was now manufactured in china and it became light.for me i use a TECHNO T9 phone and its very good.i will go for china phones anytime any where!

Who do you want to enlighten? Me? For you to see Nokia as a rocking brand it shows you dont know a zilch! You get infos on GSM sites and you're relying on that? More, for Nokia to aspire Android on a future time shows they are backward currently. *Spits*

Guy, I'm more than Nokia products! They cant satisfy my social needs. Rather than buy those craps I go for HTC Desire2 or Sony Ericsson Arc. [Andriod fones] These phones are beasts! You can't understand and you can't think more than the Nokia toys you see!
