peacettw: Hello, I was wondering whether there is anyone out there who has an idea of any site that can let one view Youtube videos for free. Thank you

U shoud be able to watch a couple of em on the full website for mobile - http://www.youtube.com/?nomobile=1

Altho u could get error - this video is not available @ d moment or for mobile.

Else u try dem websites where dey download youtube vids. Like duoberry.com

ponana: I just discovered that blackberry bold5 or 9930 has a feature that can turn the device into a hotspot thereby making it available as a source of internet for other wifi enabled devices. I got an error after connecting it to my laptop. Is there anybody who has tried it before? Please fill me in on the how-to.
P.S: I am making use of etisalat for my BIS, i do not know if that matters.

A couple of threads on this, u need a dataplan to enjoy the service, not BIS. @ least on etisalat, mtn n glo.

The specs are live, the device has been unveiled n it. Looks just like the senior S3 but the similarities stop there. Its more similar to the Galaxy Advance n S2 although the S2 is beta. This device would retail for between 70 to 85k wen it launches.

According to leaked specs the GS3 mini is approx same as the Galaxy Ace 2 with the difference been the bigger display, super amoled screen, JB OS, which GA2 would get soon n some oda little features. Its rumored to retail @ €399, which IMO is very very expensive n not worth it, just get a GS2 or a Galaxy S Advance instead.

ikechukz: lg l3 dual =22k - 24k
Galaxy y duos= 25k
pls don't buy the lg l3 cos you will be so sorry:constant hanging,restarting and network problems.Also if the phone gets faulty its spare parts are not readily available compared to samsung products.

Currently using the L3 E405, n I have no idea wot ur on about. Its a good device for the price n functionality.

Galaxy Y B5512, Galaxy M
Both retail for b/w 22 - 30k

leastpay: Pls BB users how can i register or use my etisalat line on my new BB curve.thanks

dkings101: Its been 2 days now and I am unable to use my BIS. I ve done the hard resert more than 20 times. I don't know if etisalat have problem with their network..

Hmm! I havnt had any issues wit em.

Lucky soul: Have u ever imagine, why the apple, on the apple phone has some part of it cut?. In d begining God created heaven and earth. he created adam. And God instructed adam to eat all the fruit in the garden except one. The tree of good and evil . And after God saw that adam was lonely he gave him Eve. To cut the long story short. Eve was tempted by the serpent she ate the fruit and gave some to her husband. Immediately Eve bite the apple. That was when sin entered the world. That is where this apple company got this half apple symbol. This half apple signifies SIN. Phone of end time. What you don't know is greater than you. Be warn!!!

Haha, the Conspiracy theorists are here, u gave me a laff tho, thanks

annoymous: Now I'm uber-confused. Is this different from the Galaxy note 2? I thot the essence of the note was to be a go-between the tablet n the fone - why z dis one 10.1 inches? How z it different from Galaxy tab with 10.1" screen? Why are there so many 'Galaxy' categories - tab, phone, note, pocket etc

U have Galaxy note 1 n 2 , both phablets.
Galaxy Tab n Galaxy 2 10.1 n Galaxy Tab 7 inches - all tablets.
Then the Galaxy Note 10.1 - in both wifi n 3G version - a tablet, different from the phablets.

Todaynatoday: What is this?

It is a phoneblet!!

Why?

it is a phone in potrait mode and a tablet in landscape mode.

This is a tablet mate, 10.1 inches cannot b confused for a phone/phablet except ur from anoda planet

According to gsmarena, the only umts/3G band we use in this country is the 2100 band, so I'm guessing ur fone ought to work on 3G. Mayb u should select the 3G/WCMDA/UMTS option only on the device. If after doing that ur still unable to get 3G service, u should try all ur sim cards n then consult a phone doctor if all fails

Its even called the Tmobile G2 on gsmarena, so twas meant for the US market only.

I think it should read 900/2100 to work here. But as its 1700/2100, it may work on networks on naija operating on the 2100 band but def not 1700 band

The band should b on the pack of the phone or manual I'll think. You'l have to search the net for rooting procedure.

If the fone runs the android os, check the app store

Non removable battery may have been initiated by apple n many vendors have followed suit, not necessarily for phones only but tablets etc.
I'm hoping the OS is top notch sha.

MTN,Glo n Etisalat BIS doesn't function as a hotspot, either on the 3K plans or enterprise plans.
You'll need a regular data plan to do that, so stick with ur airtel if u need that facility

I like the device, how much e b for naija sha? E fit reach like N150k o

More than half of the blackberry devices used in naija are fairly used devices

The problem with 3G could be coz of the bands on the phone, mayb its meant for the US market only as they use different bands from us. If the 3G doesn't say bands 900/2100 on the pack , sorry u can't use any 3G service in naija on it.

texazzpete: In what specs does the One X+ beat the Galaxy S III?

Tegra 3 is no match for the Mali 400MP in the Galaxy S III. Even higher clocked, it is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY that the Tegra 3+ will manage to beat the SGS III's GPU. No idea about the CPU comparison.

Just rechecked the specs, my bad. GS3 still beta by specs @ least b4 benchmarks show up

It doesn't matter if both devices are compared, they came out in the same year. And specwise I agree the One X+ beats the GS3, but that's what the benchmarks are there for anyways. Galaxy Note is not a phone, call it anything else,lol

gboss4sure: Do they mean i cant upgrade my bold 5 os to the new bb 10 os? if thats the case then Bleep RIM. gonna stick to my tab then

Nope u won't b able to upgrade any phone currently running bb os 7.0/7.1. It was stated about the same time the bold 5 launched.
The new OS is optimized for dual core devices they say

ABSolUTE Rubbish, this shouldn't b an issue @ all, I mean like eva

nanotechy: what d Bleep was dat? 'even' nokia? Excuse me! Are u aware nokia has the best camera phone ever made? Nokia 808 (pureview) is equiped with a 41mp camera

41MP camera sensor, its still a 5MP device

bknight: Its like RIM hv run out of ideas. they just recycle same things, I still like blackberry but they really need fresh ideas its not by just name 'porsche','aristo'

If uv bin following their progress u won't say this.

I've seen the specs n they're plenty impressive, I have doubts like, if a device like dis is gonna come out next year, why is it not the flagship device launching in january. The hardware specs won't also mean much if the OS falls short, fingers crossed. Would b nice to c em come back to haunt the competition tho

Funny enough I was about to start this topic, tot to search first.
Contrary to wot the OP said, tablets do have sim slots, not all of em admittedly, some even have voice call n sms capability.
I'm thinking I have this very good android device, letz assume its a GS3, n den I have a laptop on steroids, why would I want say a Galaxy tab 2, that runs the same OS as my GS3, and prob the same apps.
I feel the functions of both devices are gonna overlap, with the major difference been maybe the screen sie of the tablet,which may favour reading of say pdf files.
With manufacturers making hardware suitable for both tablet n high end smartphones, ICS n Jellybean serving both hardware platforms, what's really the gain on owning a tablet when u have a highend smartphone?
