best bet look for usb soundcard to buy, you might have to look around a bit in computer village to find one; but they're quite cheap when you can find; way cheaper than trying to fix something as complicated as a headphone jack

i also hope there are lots of apps that work offline, it would be a total fail if to use any app i would need an internet connection.
i also wonder if it will be binary compatible with desktop ubuntu (hmm suddenly thinking dependencies)

4llerbuntu: Have you guys seen this?

I think i now have what is gonna take me away from android

sweet concepts. like the BB OS Peek thingy.

gonna watch the presentation now.

I JUST HOPE THIS WILL FOLLOW THE DESKTOP EXAMPLE AND GET PORTED TO MULTIPLE HARDWARE>

Haha, i was wondering when you were going to comment on it.

Anyway sha, you'll still have to wait a year at the least before you get a non-developer phone that runs the os

i hope by then there'sll be a few decent apps sha

brightk: with all this our yeye internet connection how person go enjoy him linux desktop na.. i only install programs from the software center. installing them manually na war of dependencies. i tried using virtual box (offline) to virtual my xp as a guest os while my linux ubuntu sits as the host. it worked fine after some dependency shit. i come install video lan player (offline also). na there kasala burst for my laptop scrin. virtual box nor come de open again..

how can one go through the hassles of dependency problem on linux in general.

for virtualbox i hope you git the generic version; as long as you have your kernel headers you generally shouldn't have any issues with dependencies since it contains most of what u need already and what it doesn't have it compiles in the installation process. For vlc i can't remember sha, the generic one might work too

...though you might need to get some qt libs sha

why is her outfit torn at the front?

coruso: how do i download utube videos on my andiod phone galaxy y pro

or download tubemate from google play

amyliajane: @ topic , pls house what is so special about the sony xperias.

far as i know,nothing really;though i believe (i may be wrong though) you're more likely to get android updates (especially if u'remot using a high-end phone) than most other phone manufacturers

or you can download kingsoft office, it's free and works like pre-2007 office; it's made by some chinese company but it's pretty good

timbros: mini SIM, abi?

Ok, i dey come

jus so you know, mini sim is the regular sim we have on phones; it's nano sim that companies like apple are pushing

hmm, better than a galaxy pocket; has it reached nigeria? if so what's the price?

Ihedinobi: Just in case this thread still works and I can get help here . . . My zero/space button no longer works. It's the second time it's packing up. The first time I called on a technician and it began to work again without trouble. Less than one month on, it went dead again. I stay in Aba and tried the Nokia Care here @St Michael's Road this second time and was told, like I expected, that my phone was out of warranty. Then the guy who spoke to me called up a street technician to take my case. Since I didn't care to put my phone in worse trouble or repeat my first experience, I didn't do business.

My phone's a 723'zero'. What can I do to get the key functional again?

well i don't know if this will help, but i remember that when i changed the case of one of my former phones the keys became much more responsive; perhaps that may work with your phone

this guy na thief! 3 months old and he wants his dog to enter guinness book of records? the dog hasn't even finished growing! smh

4llerbuntu: Yeah it always says that camera error thing but it opens two nautilus windows. 1 for internal sdcard another for external sdcard.

The only quirk is d external wont display the contents but you can copy and paste into it. U can access the external through the external sdcard folder in the internal nautilus window.

Maybe youshould consider using airdroid. Works really well and will access everything more convenient than a cable to be honest, all toy need is a Web browser

yeahairdroid works, i've used it before

oluwafemiabioye: i have tried that several times there was nothing like that i even went to a cafe to ask some ppl but there was no help. Please i would appriciate it if you find a site that i can get it from and send the link to me. Thanks for the reply.

try googling for mobilepdf it's java based so should work on your phone. It's also trialware so you might have to look for an unlocked version

oluwafemiabioye: please i need your help urgently

you can google for a pdf reader for the N70; i'm pretty sure you can get to download; maybe even from the nokia store (if they still have symbian apps)

for what network?

i be ijebu man, i never spend pass $200 on top phone so i'll pass

@P3tr CruzZ
if you don't mind going for fairly used sha, i'm pretty sure u can get iphones under 100k like sun_temi has said, but some of us like having warranty - even though we hope to never need it

ok u guys i thought we were all on the same side, let all this bickerng stop

@4ller whether you mean to or not it seems like if you're attacking him, you could have passed your message across in a less offensive manner

@naija, bros i no go lie, that your reply:

all4naija: XFCE being a lightweight Desktop Environment uses XFWM Window Manager is the most modest for some lightweight systems and relatively good on general hardware which don't require extreme undertakings.

blah blah blah blah, (i've shortened it for brevity) anyway the thing resemble lecture.
I think the point 4ller was trying to make is that most of us here know what window managers are and the differences etc. you should just have made your recommendations listing your reasons (e.g. i prefer xxxwm because ...) instead of giving us the full history of WMs, basically your reply would have been more appropriate if it was a newbie asking for advice. Personally when i first saw the post i was like "na who be this **** who dey give us lecture" then i looked at the name of the poster and cooled down.

I hope you don't find my post offensive, i know you meant well but i feel you could have simplified matters. This part of your post: "I am current using KDE for good customizing!I also think it is very good for Debian based operating system." would have been enough.

first question: how much are you willing to put down
Second: do you want phone that just works or one you can customise.

if your answer for the first question is less than 100k then go android

if you can afford any phone and you want a phone that "just works" go iphone but if you prefer customizability go android

Ogetogeo: I believe he means sony xperia tipo.

For sony xperia tipo dual sim its about 27k in lagos.

can you tell me a shop where they are selling it? I don't believe they have it on the slot website

lol @kulikuli app
i sef still get that app

texazzpete: Multiple User profiles is for android tablets only. Microsoft still remains the only one that supports this on phones

just thought about your post and i realised that much as it would be nice to have this feature i wouldn't want to share my phone with anyone so i think i understand why it's not supported on phones (if it's truly not supported on phones)

notindome: wouldnt it hav been beta if u left it at d google advice,dan speaking for odas wit d wipe-arses-shatting stuff?pls house anybody wit any addition(personal usage experience) pls assist me. Thanks anyway i appreciate@4llerbuntu

well it's a whole lot of stuff you're asking, why not continue using your phone, when you come to a particular issue or hiccup the you can ask about that

kokoye: I'm sure you can read...i hope

look at my subsequent posts on the thread...hope it'll help you

bros there is a way to silence the doubting thomases, show picture of the phone with your hand in it

all4naija: What kinda connectivity are you using? Indeed, using a virtual machine would slow the internet connection a bit.

swift usb; believe me i've done research; so far no way to get it to work on any linux version short of ubuntu9 so i just fire windows inside a vm and share the internet connection

Abbott: Peeps, is Nigeria an emerging market?

Guy, even India is an emerging market and they have a much larger global market presence than nigeria

jmaine: If this device berths in Nigeria between the 20 - 30K range, it will be a big hit here . . .

Peeps love the window phone user experience at first touch, though certain functionality still has to be incorporated to make the experience wholesome and more fulfilling. Prolly the upcoming 7.8 update should take good care of that . .

How many of these "peeps" are Nigerians based in Nigeria? My point is most nigerians know zilch about windows phones. Maybe if i get to try one out i may decide i like it's look but till then no can do for me

Trying my first Kubuntu install since kubuntu6; well it's not bad sha; now all i need to do is install my vm so i can fire up my guest os and use that as an internet gateway

queenet246: wia plz

Asha 200 is 12k8 in slot (according to their website), i would post a link to their website but everytime i post urls i get banned

if you are based in Lagos just go to computer village, i'm sure you'll be able to get it at any sensible shop for less than 13k

Why are you trying to start another flame war? Abeg use what works for you and let us rest

Bros this tablet has been out for over a month naa, was actually hoping you would say that it is now available in Lagos and where it can be bought

I assume you're tech savvy enough right?
Anyway try to open adobe reader - the program not a pdf file. If it opens then it's possible the default program for opening pdf files is not adobe reader.
Change the default file under the file properties (right-click on file -> select properties -> click on the "change" button at the opens with entry and select adobe reader).
If however your adobe reader doesn't open then google for and get another pdf reader - one not made by adobe and make sure you change the file properties so that it opens with that pdf reader.
