My friend, buy LG Optimus L3 E400/405
Galaxy Y Duos.
Beta dan the E5

sundaybam: Am currently on Mtn Bis and whenever I recharge they keep deducting my money even without making any call.

U using bold 5?

I was using the MTN 1500plan, it didn't support podcasting and blackberry protect @ dat time, only the. 3k plan covered those, I paid for 3months and was automatically on the 17k/sec call plan as promised.after the first three months, I resubscribed n found out after a while that my mtn calls where charged higher than before. I called the. MTN customer care and the guy was almost. Clueless, saying that the automatic conversion to the 17k/sec calling plan when on BBQ was not working at the moment, asked him when it would come back on, he had no idea. Oh! Well, I gave etisalat a test run, n off I went, downloads are slower than mtn, but at least the network was more reliable and steady. The 1500 etisalat plan also offered podcasting and blackberry protect (I hear mtn has added these now to their BCM), unlike mtn, its clearly stated on their website that the BCM plan offers unlimited data.
Where I work, we can't make or receive calls for the past week even with full mtn service, maybe a mast problem or woteva, just got me an airtel line. Its about time to dump my mtn line, no point complaining about them, no b only dem dey naija.

[quote author=Richard.]I don't know if this is what others using BB torch 2 exprience or is it commom with all BBs.
1. High rate of battery consumption.
2. Easy to hang while browsing.
3. Gets hot so easily that atimes I put inside my fridge to cool down.
4. Sometimes something like a tiny black clock appears while in the screen when you are doing something very important, whenever it appears, every button in the stops working until it disappears.
Please share yours. Thanks.[/quote]Mine doesn't hang while browsing tho. All fones would get hot if u use 3G for downloads.
I do dislike non native support for sharing all file types via bluetooth. So far only filescout can share zipped files via bluetooth, any one has an alternative?

These rates are even worse than wot etisalat and mtn are offering considering they give u bonus data. Which is substantial

I think we should rename this thread : Mixtapes vs Albums or sth.
Just appreciate the music that's Heart of the city y'all

Read to know the diff between cdma n GSM --- http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407896,00.asp

If its the Samsung Droid Charge I510 ur referring to, that's a CDMA fone NOT a GSm fone, so u can insert ur starcomms or visafone sim n c if it works.

Cosign. Funny how time flies, the song is about 5 months old

My fav song on the album. Nice to know he cared enuf to make a vid for it.

We have a different operaring frequency band from the US. A fone designed solely for use in the US won't work here. Euro phones would tho

ogugua88: Na so I dey wait for you. You don show lol.

E be like say na only "Ada Ada" you hear. Na so you skip "Chewe Kwem", "Chinny Baby", "Ifem N'eli", "Ikwokrikwo", "Sweet Tomatoes", and "To Be A Man" lol.

Haha, its the kinda album u can spin n not get mad @ d songs enuf to turn it off. The songs are decent, but nothing over the top, most of em gave me a laff, not in a bad way tho. Baby Oku, u too hot, 100 Watts, lol.

Not thrilled by it, no wow.
I liked Ada Ada sha.

pauladonis: pls, who knows if Tecno T1 has the chance to be upgraded to 4.0, thanks.

There's a thread discussing this, search the forum

I don't know how this happened, but IDC says its happened. RIM is in the top5 n Nokia is not, yet apparently RIM owners are 'ashamed' well...

Credit to Apple n Samsung for topping the list.

Source - Engadget:


IDC's third quarter figures are in, complete with a few unexpected shake-ups. The entire cellphone market grew 2.4% over the same time last year, but smartphones drove the majority of that, showing growth of 45.3% and beating the analysts' expectations. Of the 179.7 million smartphones shipped, Samsung and Apple devices accounted for almost half of them, with the companies retaining their number one and two positions in the market, respectively. IDC notes that iPhone shipments didn't increase, but this is somewhat expected given the latest iteration was released only a short time before the end of the quarter. What we find particularly interesting is that Nokia was ousted from the top five smartphone players and replaced by RIM. Whether Nokia's upcoming Windows Phone 8 devices will put it back in contention remains to be seen, as does the effect BB10 and RIM's new handsets will have on the market. ZTE finished fourth in the list thanks to increased sales in North America, with HTC rounding up the top five vendors with continued uptake of its power devices. With a bunch of new handsets coming to the table and the holiday season fast approaching, look out for even more surprises in the fourth quarter numbers, due early next year.

Anayordike: Hi dudes, for some weeks now we have not been able to see Multilinks signal both on Phone and Internet Modems. Is it peculiar to those of us living in Ilesha, Osun State or it's also the same in your area?

The worst part is that the Company is not helping matters by not allowing her Customers know what is going on.

Multilinks is merging with Starcomms n one other company

The compensation na the ongoing data bonus and promos wey una don dey enjoy na. NCC is handicap, don't count on em.

[quote author=trae_z]I send them? Windows only for PC. Android and Belle all the way for mobile devices ;-)[/quote]Haha, if they have a windows 8 tablet, I'll get that.

Av liked the whole concept,hell the devices are so beautiful, but if I was gonna buy a new windows OS based device, twas going to b a full Windows 8 device or nothing. Always had a sneaky feeling about. This OS.

This piece is straight from CNET.
Read before u hurry to purchase those sweet devices.

While Microsoft is spending a small fortune promoting its next-generation Windows 8 operating system, it also has another new operating system called Windows RT, which actually powers the company's Surface tablet and a few other devices.

Superficially, the operating systems look and feel the same. But Windows RT is designed for devices running on ARM chips, which are used to power smartphones and tablets and are considered more power-efficient.

Windows RT is more like "Windows Lite" than a full-blown update to the operating system. It's Microsoft's attempt to make a controlled environment similar to Apple's iOS, and that means Windows RT has some big limitations compared with Windows 8.

If you're thinking of buying a Windows RT device, there are a few things you should consider. Here's CNET's rundown of Windows RT's top 10 drawbacks:

1. Flash only works on approved sites. Think you'll be able to watch all those Flash-based videos using your new RT computer? Well, think again. Flash will only run on sites approved by Microsoft. Lucky for you, CNET is one of them.

2. So-called legacy apps -- the traditional programs for older versions of Windows -- won't run on Windows RT. That includes some pretty popular offerings like iTunes and Adobe Photoshop, and Web browsers like Google Chrome. And forget about playing some of the top games. World of Warcraft and Call of Duty, among others, aren't currently offered.

Of course, this could all change tomorrow, but for now, these apps aren't available.

3. Apps can only be purchased through the Windows Store. If you think you can buy software at Wal-Mart or another retailer, think again. Windows 8 software won't work on Windows RT devices, and neither will software purchased from places other than the Windows Store. That's similar to how Apple limits iPhone and iPad purchases to its iTunes Store. Android, however, can be enabled to install apps not purchased in Google's Play store.

Another confusing factor is that Microsoft will offer games in the Windows Store, as well as the Xbox Games app.

4. The apps that are available are pretty limited. Microsoft has said it expects more than 100,000 apps in its Windows Store by the end of January, but it's a long, long way from that level right now. Microsoft declined to provide CNET with an updated number but said earlier this month that it had "thousands" of apps available.

Wes Miller, vice president of research at Directions on Microsoft, said earlier this month that there were about 4,300 Windows Store apps at that time. Miller, who monitors the Store total using publicly available information, expects there to be "well over" 5,000 apps on launch day.

5. Even some traditional Microsoft programs won't work with Windows RT. Outlook is one of those, and Windows Media Player is another.

6. You can only get Windows RT already bundled on a device. And that product has to use a processor from Qualcomm, Nvidia, or Texas Instruments. No more "Intel Inside" for these devices. And you won't be able to upgrade your old PC to Windows RT. You'll have to choose Windows 8 instead or buy an entirely new device.

7. Windows RT will have a desktop mode, but it will be restricted to pre-installed, Microsoft-produced software. That includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. You won't see other desktop applications when you visit the Windows Store. Also, if you don't want Office, for some reason, you're out of luck. It comes pre-installed.

8. For business users, Windows RT is less than ideal. All those traditional applications you use won't work, and Windows RT licensing is for home and student use only. That means you have to buy a commercial license to use Windows RT's Office apps for work. And while Office is pre-installed, it doesn't include Outlook.

9. The number of Windows RT devices is pretty limited. Currently, only four companies have plans to launch Windows RT products, and they're all limited to one product each. That has a lot to do with Microsoft's strategy and close supervision over the devices. You'll see PCs and tablets from Lenovo and Asus that run on Nvidia chips, and devices from Dell and Samsung that use Qualcomm processors. Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba, two other companies in the initial program, dropped their plans for Windows RT devices.

10. Overall, Windows RT vs. Windows 8 is pretty darn confusing. Microsoft hasn't done the best job explaining the differences, and many consumers are likely to buy RT only to find out they don't have the full functionality of Windows 8.

Yes, there are some issues with Windows RT that are annoying. But that doesn't mean we hate the operating system. Check back here tomorrow to see why Windows RT might be the right pick for you.

No need for a debate, Ice Prince's album is not half as good as any of M.I's , mixtapes included, albeit he tends to outperform M.I on collabs

Out to married life. Probably still does some production

You are on the etisalat Blackberry Voice Daily Social Plus plan. Your validity expires on 18-OCT-12.

But my edge or 3g is still in small letter

bankybanx: To know your status, dial *399# from ur line...the network works for me tho

Thanks man

TITHE threads every week now, if you want to pay ur tithe pay, if u no want, pocket am, if u want to give it out, go ahead, finish story.

If u subscribe for 250mb data, MTN is now giving 50% extra, so you're getting about 375mb. They reviewed it upwards from 30%.

Looking to dominate the data market?
The same people that reduced their tariff to 3GB/7000?
This is only temporary and their service is poor,
Theyr just trying to keep those still using em so their subscribers don't taste the 'sweet fruit' from other network operators.

walcolm: Maybe your BIS subscription has expired?

How do u check the epxiration date of etisalat bis?

olaniyanibukun: I have the same problem. Plz, have u rectified ur problem? I need it badly

Sorry man no solution, just using the phone for bis.
