timoney45: pls can u teach me hw to creat hotspot with a phone. Tank u

It's very easy. Just ensure your phone is tether-capable. Most Android phones have this feature. Go to create hotspot, tether or find an icon within the Android ecosystem to create hotspot and follow the steps. For me, I use a Bold 9900 and it has Mobile Hotspot.

gurujoe: The hotness is due to its single core. The processor is over working itself
Battery running down is due to the processor over working itself & it uses battery in doing that.
Advice, always go for dual core & above with high price say from $120 above

You're right but that doesn't mean all single core gets hot. I have been using China tablet for 2years now and all this while single core(most of them run on cortex A9). It was only lately that I bought a quad core tablet. My memoir, if you can, buy only tablets with Allwinner, MediaTek, Rockchip processors and from poopular brands like Ainol(the Novo series), Onda, Cube, Aoson, etc. You will NEVER regret any of these. As for $100 range, Novo 7 Legend, Crystal and even the quad core Venus will give you good performanc. Mind you, these tablets do not have 3G. As for the critics of wifi pc, I opt for wifi only because I prefer good resolution, better processor, good design and built quality to 3G. I can always create hotpot with my phone and connect the tablet to it. I hope this little piece of mine helps someone.

Waiting for the owner.

ocelot2006: Huawei ailing? Lawd, ignorance is a real disease! You're talking about one of the largest manufacturers of telecommunications equipment in the WORLD. ALL GSM operators in Nigeria and a lot of foreign service providers use their access and core network elements. And Microsoft? Yet you call them ailing?

@ocelot2006, you don't have to go about insulting people in forums. Forums are meant to inform people sir.
When I said ailing companies I was not referring to Huawei but MS. My statement was based on these market trends - Windows phone is in decline, PC is also in decline and that's affecting PC makers including MS. This is as a result of high demand for smart phones and tablet PCs. Also see what's happening to Dell presently.

I think we should distinguish the hardware from the the OS. Two different aspects.

The so called 4Africa phones will come with a 4inch and 480X800 resolution. That's a mediocre. Why not 1025x700? What's the RAM size? They are using dual core Snapdragon because in all other markets, including China where Huawei is coming from, are demanding for quad core processors. So they choose, as usual, to dump the dual core in Africa. That processor can't even sell in China at that price. What's the pixel of the dual camera? 4GB internal storage isn't bad because you can always go external.

One question that is yet to be answered is the software aspect of these phones and that's the major issue here and not the hardware. Windows phone is going down. Where are the developers and apps for the phone? Will that be from that crappy 'store'? Or isn't it a modern smart phone? What if I'm a gamer, where can I get good games for the phone? Paying Huawei to push these Windows phones to Africa, as they did with Dell and Nokia, will not help Ms. The Techno phones already have better spec than these phones with a better os capabilities. WP8 lacks hardware support so OEM aren't going WP8; it's a restrictive world when compared with the free world of ...

Someone talked about power saving. Why talking about power saving when you've not seen the capacity of the phones' batteries.

Please peeps checkout ZTE's, 2nd largest phone marker in China, low end range of Android Jelly Bean phones and their prices before you keep saying this is a good phone.

'Why would I go Windows? Windows phone has the worst of all worlds.'

Guys be careful, these prices are too cheap to be real.

Nice one guys. I can't even think of having a Windows phone no matter the price because I want to be free.

blackchild09: just checked the phone review its a good phone for beginners and relatively low price so they should sell a lil, but then do they have stuffs they can catch young peeps attention games, instagram etc on.windows os?

That's the point. Developers aren't with that platform. So buyers will just be stocked with the phone. Microsoft is just struggling to stay in the market.

For Dell, lessons from
Microsoft's Nokia deal
by Mary Jo Foley February
5, 2013
One of the worst-kept
secrets in Microsoft's
investment history is no
longer a "secret." Today,
Microsoft made a $2
billion loan to one of its
largest PC OEMs, Dell , as
part of Dell's move to go
private.
Microsoft does not own
part of Dell as part of this
transaction. However, the
situation reminds me of
another major Microsoft
"investment": The billions
it paid to Nokia almost
exactly two years ago to
help rescue a company
teetering on the edge of a
"burning platform."
At the time of the
February 2011 Nokia deal,
Microsoft wanted and
needed at least one of its
partners to be "all in" with
the Windows Phone
platform, to the exclusion
of competing operating
systems like Android. With
the money it is loaning
Dell, Microsoft also may
be seeking a way to keep
the third largest PC maker
from straying into the
Linux/ChromeOS/Android
camps, as my ZDNet
colleague Larry Dignan
and others have
speculated.
There's another
interesting parallel
between the Nokia and
Dell situations. When
Microsoft backed Nokia,
there was a lot of chatter
about whether that move
would result in an unfair
Nokia advantage. There
are similar worries around
what Microsoft's Dell
investment could mean
for other PC makers and
their customers.
Nokia "will contribute its
expertise on hardware
design, language support,
and help bring Windows
Phone to a larger range of
price points, market
segments and
geographies," the original
announcement trumpeted.
What about the other
Windows Phone partners
-- HTC, Samsung, even
Dell (which delivered the
Venue Pro Windows Phone
and no follow ups)?
Weren't they now second-
class citizens in the
Windows Phone
ecosystem ?
Microsoft came out of the
gate really pushing
Nokia's Lumia as the
flagship Windows Phone a
year-plus ago. But since
then, the Softies have
backed off a bit and
shared the love.
While Microsoft still gives
Nokia props and is
counting on Nokia for
turn-by-turn navigation
and Maps technologies for
all Windows Phones,
Nokia isn't the only
Windows Phone game in
town. I see more and
more Microsoft managers
sporting the HTC 8X
Windows Phone 8s, rather
than the latest Lumias.
(Microsoft identifies HTC
as a "signature" Windows
Phone partner, but all this
really means, I've heard,
is HTC agreed to use
"Windows Phone" in the
official name of its
phones, which is
something Nokia didn't
do.)
When Microsoft chose a
phone partner for its just-
announced 4 Afrika
African-development
initiative , it went with
Huawei, not Nokia, in
spite of Nokia's long
history and expertise in
selling phones in the
developing world.
Microsoft and Huawei
jointly unveiled the new
variant of the Huawei
Windows Phone 8 Ascend
W1 yesterday.
So it could be that a
Microsoft tie-up with Dell
won't necessarily be to
the detriment of
Microsoft's other OEMs.
Rather than becoming
nothing but a factory for
new Microsoft Surface PCs
and tablets -- something
that some Microsoft
watchers believed/feared
to be the primary reason
Microsoft would invest in
Dell -- maybe a Microsoft-
backed Dell just becomes
a stronger Windows OEM.
It's a tumultous time to be
a Microsoft OEM, no doubt
about it. The PC market is
in decline, revenue-wise.
Microsoft is competing
with its own OEMs with its
Surface line of products.
And now Microsoft is
providing $2 billion loan to
one of its largest OEMs,
Dell. I wonder how many
Windows OEMs will still be
in existence in a year or
two, and how many will be
backing Windows as just
one of several different
platforms to hedge their
bets.

Microsoft's $2 billion role
in Dell's buyout play out

partnership? "

4llerbuntu: buhahahaha

MS is going for the low end, which they ought to anyway, that high end market is long gone

@4llerbuntu, you're right but who's going to use that Windows 8 os? Why are they bringing very low resolution phones into the African market?

These ailing companies are looking at Africa because of the fierce competition in the smartphone market and the decline in PC sales.

I'm sorry, no. Just the phone and you'd love it.

Blackberry cannot die, at least not like Palm OS, because
- they are considering licensing the OS like MS, so you'd find OEM like a Samsung phone running the Blackberry OS,
- they may sell the hardware arm of the company to cut expenditure,
- QNX on which the BB10 OS is built has a lot of potentials,
- security is a serious business, and since BB os is a closed source os, it will still have a market share
- carriers like BB because they work closely with them, and
- Like Google that acquired Moto Mobility to survive, they also have a patent empire.
