I am planning to setup a free wifi for my neighborhood.

jdoss: It looks like Smile Has launched it's LTE Service in Ibadan. THeir prices can be found here:

It doesn't look too bad, but One has no Idea what the speed is like.
If anyone has this in Ibadan, a speedtest would be appreciated.

I know they will be the first to launch lte services in the country. however I will only give it a try if they offer their data sims for purchase. the prices are not different from others. no unlimited plans and coverage is still very limited.

malikalhaj: whatsapp works quite well on Nexus 7, using it on my Nexus 10 also
check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061176

I play around with my galaxy tab, but don't go outside the play store with the nexus, at least for now.

I will have to opt for the Web, it doesn't support whatap either. It d nexus 7 tab with 3g.

ciphoenix: Uhmmm, try "Messaging" on your phone. It's free

Thanks but i need it for a tablet without "messaging capability"

Anyone know of any application whether free or paid for sending text message to mobile phones in Nigeria.

COMPAQ: Funny enough a colleague reported that for the last 4 to 5 days, she has suddenly started posted speeds as high as 10mbps to 12mbps. And she said she was getting regular speeds of like 800kbps to 1.5mbps just like a week ago, so maybe the upgrade is working. This is in pH by the way and I recall they advertised in the local radio here like a month ago that the upgrade had now reached our area.

its not enough to make such claims give location in ph.

zte and huawei both offer to swap their cabinets for mtn.

W8 party countdown...you're invited.

HTC ve announced their 8x and 8s.

bigbrovar: I will try to refrain from turning this into a android vs wp debate. That's a topic for another day. All I will just say is. Specs does matter at the end of the day. If the first and second Gen wp hadn't had a hardware limitations and had shipped with powerful processing powers they would not have had problems updating and would have been eligible to run wp8. Even the iPhone often touted as the benchmark for fluidity even on lower spec hardware compared to Android saw the iPhone5 Shipping with a A6 processor based on cortex 15 which is generations ahead of anything running on any smartphone or tablet.. with a gb of ram this is the same iPhone said to only need a fraction of what android devices need to run like liquid yet apple is not taking any risk or pulling punches.

Guess u must know so much about processors. Can you prove the statement in bold

jdoss: @ukachimo

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. The installation costs seem a little high for home users when you compare what else is on the market. Although, having a 10Mbps line in Nigeria would be really nice. Are you a reseller?

From your review, what do you have to say? I know they using KA band, but dont find the prices impressive.

texazzpete: Dumb'ass...the Desire V has practically the same hardware as the Galaxy S Duos. And possible more expensive.

Why would you expect a budget phone to have NFC or DLNA?

More importantly, given the fact that battery life is always a concern with Dual-SIM phones, why would you imagine they'd put an LTE radio in there? How many of their Asia/Africa target markets have LTE 4G networks?

Inferis my friend, this is a strange diversion into dumb'ass territory for you

PS: there aren't many chipsets that support Dual-SIM...just usually the low end single core variants from Qualcomm and the recently introduced dual core versions from MediaTek which have the competent PowerVR SGX GPU.

Unlike the tex i used to know. Guess u ve cooled off in the western world and ve a more objective approach.
Thumbs up.

omodapson: Please anyone with working link to watch today's match between FedeX and Nole on the net?

Thanks.

with espn, u ll need a us ip, with bbc u ll need a uk ip. Those are my favourites.

Egba girl: I think I might have high BP today. Federer has to win o.

Hope he wins, already in the lead.

k, gotten it at www.bbc.co.uk

what an intriguing game

Do u guys know of any site that i can stream this?

moonraker: Apple has simply gone mad!!!

Retina Display on a laptop (first of it kind)...

Starting price is $2199. do the math...

Retina Display is just a marketing term by apple, nothing serious about it.

you can drop your contact asap.

samir101ng: Main One has just launched a speed test server. Ajah is now on the global map. Check it out !!

How is it going with u bro? Thought u would provide a link for that, but here is what i got.

Got a kindle touch for sale...if interested, let me know.

Glo has actually improved....running on glo 1

My test

skymaxnig: There is already fiber in Taraba if you dont know. Also there are Four international fiber carriers now live and active in nigeria with some others in the pipeline....email info@skymaxnig.net for more.

It is not enough to say there's fiber in taraba, but from where to where is?

There is great need for LTE in nigeria especially in the big 3 cities. Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja. It is true that the 3g network in nigeria is crappy but deploying LTE will have some advantages.........as we should expect an increase in connection speed even with a crappy LTE.

The truth of the matter is that Nigeria telcos are very good at marketing what they dont know, and dont have, as far as i'm concerned there is no 4g network in this country...all the 4g jingles are marketing hype. As Lumiz said we need to develope fixed broadband and complement with mobile broadband, mobile broadband is expensive everywhere.

For those in eko, expect a state-wide wifi coverage soon if all goes well.

Chelsea Wins....

Chelsea seem to enjoy defending. 180 seconds left

More Pressure boys

A good opportunity.

I paused and replayed, the ball didn't cross d line.

Great need for Goal line tech.

getting more interesting. 2:1 game on
