Osomaalo: Thanks, I'll look for it.

I am torn between two phones: I need a good dual sim phone. I'm hoping you can help out.
1. Blu Studio 5.3 d510 and
2. Samsung Galaxy S Duos.

Pls which one do you advice I buy or do you have any other dual sim phone that's good?
My budged is around #40k.

i wud advise galaxy s duos due to its faster processor (1 Ghz to 650Mhz). the blu studio is also big (5.3 inches) its just like galaxy note.. but d galaxy s duos is 4 inches but its alot portable but the galaxy s duos is about 46k

Another option is Galaxy ace duos. its about 33k.
also lg l5 dual is another option its about 30k

SMS messages turn 20 years old today
and while the cell network technologies
have changed, the usefulness of those 160
character texts hasn’t diminished. If
anything it has increased – there are 8
trillion (yes, with a t) texts being sent
each year.
Twenty years ago on this date, the first
SMS message was sent – the message
read ‘Merry Christmas’, typed on a
computer by Neil Papworth and sent over
the Vodafone network to one of its
employees, Richard Jarvis, who received
it on an Orbitel 901 phone.
If you try to look for that model on our
site, you won’t find it – it’s too old even
for our database. It looks more like a
regular office phone (it’s pictured above)
except it’s not wired to the wall.
Anyway, Papworth was 22 years old when
he sent the message and I commend him
for not texting the way most current 22
year olds do (though then SMS talk
wasn’t invented yet).
“We thought SMS was a clever way for a
company’s staff to send simple messages
to one another,” says Papworth, “even if
at the time the achievement was nothing
remarkable.” You can read more of what
he said to The Guardian .
Today there are WhatsApp, Viber,
iMessage, BBM and more competing with
SMS but the simple service remains one
of the most used on a mobile phone.

Osomaalo: Thanks for your advice, but how much is the Galaxy Note 10.1 and what is the "MHl A/V link cable." And how do I get one...like how much is the cable also?

Thanks. 'Am grateful...This is very helpful = I actually found out that this device meets all the needs by simply googling it. Thanks

the galaxy note 10.1 goes for about 100,000 naira. But for the Mhl a/v cable i don't knw ow much it costs.
basically what the cable does is that it enables the usb to connect to an external screen.

Osomaalo: Hi, my Pastor needs a device that will be suitable for him and I need advice for him:
1. Something that is not as heavy as a laptop because he is a writer and he types his books by himself mostly on the bed
2. Long battery life is key to him
3. He wants something he can use on the pulpit and can view multiple screens together at same time(Bible, life browsing and his sermon notes being viewed at same time
4. Good memory and expandable by memory card
5. wifi and sim enabled browsing
6. Tv out for viewing recorded messages on large screen
7. Keyboard compatibility(Not just the on-screen touch keyboard)
= He hope to get a tablet that can work almost like a laptop or better but not less than a 10inch screen
Someone suggested Ipad, but he's not in tune with apple, which other devices will you suggest?
His budget is around a #100k

Pls whatz ur advice?

Okk.. Tell him to get a galaxy Note 10.1 ...it has the tv out function but he ll need a MHl A/V link cable.

LCD (liquid crystal Display): This is probably the most popular screen technology since its being used for tvs and most computer monitors. The screen itseif is made of liquid crystals, they also require some panes of glass and a light source. LCD screens produce some of the most realistic colors on a screen. but the downside to it is that it might not offer better constrast ratio (how deep the 'blacks' are and how light the 'brights' are). some terms associated with the LCD screen are;
TFT (Thin Film Transistor): it makes the wiring of the screen more efficient by reducing the electrodes per pixels. TFT LCD screens have improved color reproduction over the standard or conventional LCD screens
IPS (In-plane Switching): It improves upon the TFT LCD screens by offering much wider viewing angles and better reprodution. Its able to achieve this by keeping all the liqiud crystals parallel to the screen. Devices with LCD screen Galaxy SL, iphone 4, 4s, HTC One X.

AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic light Emitting Diodes):
This screen technology is fairly Old. but its just been recently used in high end phones. It consists of thin layer of polymers that light up when zapped with electric current. AMOLED screens dont require backlight. The benefits of losing backlight are apparent. It enables the screen produce blacks so deep the screen pixels can go to sleep (Shut Off). Shutting off can save your battery if u use a phone with amoled display. Use near to black backgrounds and u can further save ur battery. phone with AMOLED screen galaxy s, galaxy s2, nokia c6-01, Nokia c7, nokia n8 etc

its 'ego'. Am the 'head' of ma wife.

Have u ever been kicked in the balls? They say the pain u experience is like having 52 bones fracture @ d same tym! If u survived that why re u nw letting a gal use u? The fact is once a gal breaks up with u, she goes on to the next guy, making herself happy while u sit down sulking and saying she "broke ma heart"! If ur heart is truly broken, u ll b in the hospital on life support or cemetery! Guy get a life because a gal left you is not the end of the world. Several guys have also gone thru that with worse stories than yours and they dealt with it nw they have gud stories to tell. Deal with ur situation too. Do a reassessment of why the gal left you and ow u ll improve in your next relationship. Remember gud gals mayb scarce but its still a guy like u that will date them!
