This one nasty habit of Nigerian bloggers that I so much despise. Why not quote the original writer of the article instead of claiming it as yours? I read this from yahoo yesterday and they will link you to the original article, whereas, you are now claiming it to be from your own site just to drive traffic to your blog.

donlyone:
Did you just call Fijitsu a young company?

Take it back immediately.

Lol. Don't mind the dude. I'm sure he is not too familiar with the firm.

Check ur settings. You may have set it to only allow specific devices to be tethered

runzlord:
i see you were taking on every windows phone fan, just wondered why you did not take on me, the op

1. You're quite wrong in your assertion that I'm taking on every windows fan. I'm only taking on those that say false or wrong things about Windows and Android.

2. Your points have been sufficiently answered by at least 2 persons here so no need to add to it.

3. If you still want an answer from me about the points you made, I can gladly do that as long as you also give an answer to those that I pointed out in an earlier post.
And trust me when I say this, you post is full of assumptions with few facts or links to support your claims. Let me know if you are up to it.

Have a great week.

First do a hard rest by removing the battery, and wait for about 5 to 10 minutes and re-insert the battery and power on. if it is the un-removable type, simply visit a qualified phone repair technician,who will pry your device cover open, as to remove the battery terminals, and re-solder same after 5-10 minutes.
Issues like this happens when one visits porn sites wit those ..s, puniz and b..bs flashing in the air. and click for more free s.x,where they offer more for a $, am not saying you do. Such sites are havens for hackers.
My advice is run away

This is by far the worst advice I had ever seen. And to think it even got this much likes is very weird. What has opening and removing the battery/battery terminals got to do with removing a virus. Na wa o.

Nice one.
With your class of phone(s), you can't prove I don't use Android right?

Dude, you've already proved it to us yourself when you made ur first comment about typing being hell on Android. In case you don't know, Android platform debuted the swipe to type thingy that other platforms are now emulating today.

pacino26:
That same 'hell' then is yet to change. Generally Windows phone demand a little extra to let you utilize it fully. Till that people still find it difficult with Windows 8 you know.

And that is why it isn't ready for prime time. Technology is meant to make things easier. To take away or solve a problem. But when it introduces an additional problem that wasn't in the picture before, then that technology is a step backward.

Greatfes17:
Well, I won't be too stupid to try picking up an arguement with you. Probably, you may be my class that uses tecno phone and yet boast of using smart phones.

Furthermore, I will not try giving you a single reason that I use Android, but maybe one day, try using your android as notebook(joter). work with large text files and feel what I've been through. CHEERS!!!

Hahahahaa..... Sorry matey.... Not your class. Don't do MTK phones, not even Sony and HTC MTK phones not to talk of Tecno.

Kingbilo:
@ sacbag where I am now, the moto G is $220 on average.. Moto X is $390.. Unfortunately quite expensive because it isn't normally sold here. But if you are looking at value for money and really want to get a Motorola, I believe the Moto G is one of the best value for money phones on the market.. The camera is even better than moto x and it has dual sim as well

It's OS is really smooth. Never misses a beat. In fact it was a friend's moto G that encouraged me to buy the MotoX. You just have to see it, hold it and use it to know it's premium for the price tag

That moto G should be 2014 edition, I got the 2013 edition.

No 17 are both correct.

pacino26:
My bad referring to Sagem flagship Windows phone.

Like I said way back then. HTC Pro 2 was good talk more recent Windows phone.

Think am getting old o

Seriously, back then windows mobile was horrible and still faced useability issues. I once remembered someone asking me to help him configure the gprs settings on his Palm Treo and it was hell. In the end, why use it when there were great smartphones running symbian like the Nokia 6600, N Series and Communicator series. Sony Ericsson P-series (P800, P900, P990, etc).

SacBag:
thanks for d prompt reply, I guess you are in d country ...if so, is there a way you can get 1 for me?

Actually, I'm in Nigeria. I just keep an eye out for such deals and buy stuff when I can. And by the way, I don't know how much Kingbilo bought his but I expect it to be more expensive than mine. I got a G while he's using an X.

pacino26:
Not everyone remembers Sendo X, it was a Windows phone. I used a HTC Pro 2 that was running 6.8 back then it was launched. The amazing thing was that I triple booth the phone; Java, Android and the WindowOS. So literally I had the three phones in one to load all form of apps now that's what I call a phone. Android is cool but Windows is for those chosen few elite and coordinated minds.

I look forward to doing some crazy things with the next Windows phone that comes my way.

Dude, Sendo X was symbian and not windows. And the only android you can get on that phone to work was froyo 2.2.

The never ending praises about Android is what I dont know the reasons for.

I never enjoyed using my Android for a day. Although am using inferior Android phone (ie. Tecno h5). But even better Android phones which I have been opportuined to get from family and friends never proved Android better than windows phone. The first day I used Windows phone, I was like wow, is this really a phone or pc? The quality of phone, the apps, speed and even touch sensor was not ordinary compared to Androids which I have used. This made me ask why Android in the first place.

My greatest problem with Android is that:
1. It easily runs out of internal storage inspite of 8gb internal memory and runs slow even in said 1gb ram and dual core processor.
2. Garbage bloatware you never get to use. Fun Club deducts atleast N100 from my account weekly for unknown seevices which I never received.
3. Easily editable Android apps. With good zip file manager, you can easily open and edit any Android app to your choice if you know java language.
4. Rooting. To make better use of your Android, you must root the phone. Which to me, its an undesired stress.
5. Typing in Android is worse than java (series 40) phones. I have to use two text areas to be able to type this. Then, I used copy and paste to merge it.
[b]Worse than anything, typing this piece has taken more than an hour of my time.

Dude, from what you wrote, I can get one thing very clearly. You have never seen an android phone in your life. For you to say that typing in android is hell is a straight pointer to that. LMAO

mdbabah2008:
As for me and my entire family, its windows phone or nothing cos other OS is a total crap!

Lol. Your opinion still counts as one out of 7 billion people.

dejavume:
windows phone has been my best choice,most ppl hate coz its hard for them to operate,most of ppl that cant operate windows phone are stil same ppl that love windows 10 laptop....i have windows mobile 6.5, move to windows phone htc 7.5 now htc 8.1,waiting for july the d day to launch windows 10.
windows phone sweet to use,easy to nagivate,facebook chat very sweet on it,more secured than andriod

Stop spewing trash dude @ the bolded. I understand the platform being your choice but don't go thinking that it's because others who don't like it do so because it is hard to figure out. Windows has the simplest ui after iOS, absolutely nothing complex there. The only complex thing there is silly pursuit of trying to be different and hence messing up a lot of usability features. Take for instance these following issues

1. you can't edit a number before dialing. Lets say you've dialed a wrong number and discovered that it was wrong. You can't edit it from the call log and have to type it all afresh before dialing. This is a feature even Nokia "java" phones have before the days of smartphone.

2. You can't select a number to text from a contact that has multiple entries. Lets say you have a contact with multiple numbers. You can open the contact and select which one to call. But you can't do the same for text. The silly phone will show you a text option which when you click will select the first number on the list and take you to the messaging app for text. Another thing I enjoyed since the days of my Nokia N70.

3. Jumbled call log. The windows call log is very laughable. It finds it hard to sort the call logs especially if you are the type that saves multiple entries to one contact as opposed to having contacts like Henry MTN, Henry Etisalat, Henry 2, etc. When you have those multiple numbers call you different occasions, the call logs separates them and make it look jumbled. You will now be having multiple call log entries for Henry and only when you check the details will you find out that it is from the different numbers that Henry uses. In Android/IOS/Blackberry, no matter how many multiple entries a contact has, the call log groups calls from that contact into one entry with the latest log on top. When you now go into details, you will then see a breakdown of the individual numbers by log and type (called in/out or missed).

4. Attaching files. How hard can it be to attach a simple file to your email? Try doing that on Winblows phone and you will feel like crying. Imagine typing that very long email on your phone and getting to the end, you want to attach a file (picture/document/video/etc) to it. You click on the attach icon and lo and behold, the silly phone automatically assumes that you are trying to send a picture and takes you straight to the photos app with no other option of going anywhere else. That is quite horrendous. The first time that happened to me, I felt like smashing the phone. The only alternative left is to first of all, go to the file (pic/document/video/music/etc), open it and then share it thru the email account. Only then will you be able to attach the file. And I'm saying this occurs with the default and inbuilt email app that comes with the phone.

5. Inability to select default apps. Even on the Windows OS for PC, you can select the default app for opening a type of file if you have multiple apps that can handle it. For instance, you have two web browsers installed and you click on a weblink, a popup menu will show asking you to select the app you want to use to open the link and you can also select the default app for such in the same popup menu. Windows on PC has this feature, Android has it too. Why on earth it wasn't carried over to Windows phone is hard to comprehend. Trying that on windows phone opens up internet explorer straight up for you.

I can go on and on but I am busy at the moment. So, please never you tell me that Windows phone is too complex or hard to operate for Nigerians that's why we stay away from it.

I got mine during a flash sale on BestBuy for $25, but the normal price is between $100 - $140 depending on the retailer.

Kingbilo:
Nice one bro.. I just got the moto x 2014..I'm in love with it. If anyone can get the 2015 when it comes out I might be interested sef. I wonder why they don't sell more in naija. Especially the moto x which is customizable.. It would be a hotcake among certain areas of lagos

My brother, many people don't know the value of the phone, it took me a while to sell those phones sef. I am using the same phone and every time people pick it, they get wowed about the screen and slickness. When I tell them that the phone is a Motorola, they get shocked and surprised cos most people associate Motorola with RAZR series of old and not with Android.

jonmu:
I use a samsung s3, and am stuck with the 4.3 jellybean operating.system. Please i need a link to update my o.s to 4.4 kitkat or 5.0 lollipop{if its available} over the air.. Thanks for help in advance

Official update....?? I think you might be out of luck there. But custom roms? Head over to XDA and try a few out.

Burger01:
Ok, that's nice, especially being able to use Android for secure shell connection. But, have you tried these with windows phone? Though I haven't but I believe a windows phone would do all you do using Android. One way or the other I still prefer windows phone

Lol. I'm an IT professional and the least I could do was to try out a platform extensively before giving up on it. And trust me, I did and it wasn't worth the effort.

feran14:
I reserve my comment

Nooo.... better comment your reserve o.

Burger01:
Really, I'm nat into all these rooting cum tweaking shaaiits. I love me a professionally looking phone with professional o/s. Android is just what I manage with and not really professional enough for me

Lol. Depends on what you call "professional". I mean take me for instance. I'm a System/Network Engineer and many a time I am called to work on a remote site. If my laptop goes down or if I'm in a bus, I simply whip out my android phone and launch one of my many tools and start working immediately. I have various remote desktop tools including popular ones like teamviewer and not so popular ones like TightVNC and logmein. I can log into a router/switch/firewall with a terminal app like Android terminal. I can ssh into servers using the many ssh apps available for me. My buddy uses his Samsung tablet to design and edit his designs that he did on his system on Autocad when he is on site and no pc with him. Another uses Adobe Creative Suite on his tablet and creates and edits his media works on the go. So, you can see bro, android is quite "professional" enough for me and a whole lot of other professionals too. No be looks we wan chop otherwise we all would join the Apple bandwagon.

feran14:
when last did u use a windows phone.. and which one did you use

Well, last time was 2 mins ago and it was Lumia 635

DAVE5:

As in eh?

Burger01:
Lol. Really, windows phones are not for the lazy in the brain people

Lol. And you think to root and tweak an Android phone is as simple as clicking next, next, next, finish on windows, right? Cluelessness bad gan,

feran14:
its not your fault.. I believe windows phone is not for Nigerians cos alot of their brains cant take it.. so they stick to the simple android OS.. when I see a Nigerian who is able to fully use a windows phone, I would be impressed.

besides I believe windows phone is for the business class and not ordinary Nigerians


Lumia 535 all the way

Wow. Android simple and Windows complex. Na wa o. Nothing wey person no go read for nairaland o

martineverest:
Dey re not.dey re actually more interesting dan android.....when u use and understand d phone,u ll find it difficult to return to android......get a windowsphone with windows 8.1,u ll find it interesting

Dude, mine is on the Denim update and I can't still do a whole lot that I can with my Android.

martineverest:
Hope u know dat android openess is what is killing the platform due to malware and spyware inplanted into their fones.many american and canadian companies banned android and opted for iphones,bb and wphones.....the world is waiting for windows 10 to solve microsoft app gap and 'windows 10 phone continuum' feature.i bet u by december most westerners ll dump android for eindows fones

Laughing my fat ass out at the bolded.

Dude, stop dreaming. I have both platforms and have used them extensively. Started with Android and then decided to go out of my way to give the Windows OS a shot. That platform is still a long way from being ready for mainstream. A whole lot of stuff that I took for granted in other OSes are missing on Windows. Anyone saying Windows doesn't lag has apparently hasn't used a 512mb ram model. I use one and I know how often I usually get the "resuming" screen and how many app crashes I have experienced. Compared to Android with 512 ram, Windows is quite crappy. Anyone that says otherwise is welcome to his/her opinion but that doesn't in anyway change nor dispute the fact.

I have a brand new Motorola Moto G phone for sale. Never opened and never used. Price is 38k. Location Lagos,
