physise: thanks

You're welcome.

ministerblessed: Thank u so much!!!

You're welcome.

physise: windows or android which one should i go 4

It's a tricky question you have here but I would be frank with you.

Both are good and quite different with their pros and cons.

Windows is more beautiful, simpler, faster and easier to use. It also has beautiful and unique hardware. Personally, I prefer the user-interface of WP to android.

Android OTOH is more matured with more options for customization (which sometimes can be a bit confusing)

On android you have the option of more apps and games but I can confidently tell you that most of the apps you would ever use are already on widows phone and its also worth noting that most apps look much better on WP. The main difference is in the area of games but the gap is closing really fast as most popular games have been ported or are being ported to WP.


In summary if you like tinkering alot with your phone and you like having alot of options to play with then android is for you but if you prefer a beautiful, simple, easy to use and unique device which is still productive then you should go for WP. All-in-all, both are good choices.

ministerblessed: If ur to advice or recommend,wch of d models wud u suggest for me......dnt forget to include d price. ThankS

You should go for the 520 or 720. I consider the 620 to be rushed so as to fill a void then.

The 520 is the cheapest WP8 device and is a bargain for its price.
The 720 on the other hand has an outstanding design and is easily the best looking WP8 device. with also has the best battery. It's also worth noting that it has a larger screen, front camera, better back camera,better screen protection and funny enough, they are practically thesame weight but then, it's 20k higher.


For their prices, check here: www.slotlimited.com

Do what makes you fulfilled

Somethings were missed. Let me add them


It's worth noting that the price of the S3 is about 67k which is less than double that of the phantom.

Secondly, the Phantom lacks any form of screen protection and so will easily scratch.

With the S3 you're guaranteed at least 2-3 updates but on the Phantom you're stuck with ICS.

The S3 also has a better battery life in actual use maybe cos of its better processor and quite smaller screen.

Samsung products have been tried and tested and shown to be strong unlike Tecno which is rather unproven.

You also have to take into consideration the resale value. After using the S3 for 2 years you can still sell it for good money but the Phantom even if it lasts upto 2 years, would be worth peanuts.

Lastly, the S3 is in a higher social class than the Phantom which is still largely considered cheap and sub-standard.


In summary, the Phantom is a fantastic purchase for its price but the S3 is better.

Lagusta: Mr. Lecturer, please tell us more differences between a cheap android and an expensive blackberry 10series apart from pinging, because....

1) Both can browse

2) Both can whatsapp

3) Both can download android apps

And please don't tell me battery life or front camera $h!t, cos that's hardware, not software....

You know I once met you on another thread and after you said alot of stupid and ridiculous things, I began to look at you as someone with a very very low IQ


So in your world, software entails browsing, whatsapping and apps?
Then in that case the software experience of N3 should be thesame as that of S4.
You really are a demented fellow.


You should look for someone at your level to argue with.

Lagusta: STUDENT: sir, should we buy this blackberry Q5 or.......

TEACHER: why must. you buy it, when blackberry messenger will soon be launched on android and ios

STUDENT: ooooooookaaaaayyy!!!! so that means my Techno n3 will soon be able to ping a Z10, blackberry has scored F9 ooooo

So for you the only difference between this and Tecno N3 is BBM?
Something must really be wrong with you.

Deblow: Don't mind Nokia. It used to be my favourite but like many other people who are phone freaks I decided to dump nokia some years back because of its arrogance and lack of vision. Nokia also lacks continuity and it will make a brand which as soon as it received public acceptance nokia will quickly rest the production of such a brand. Arrogance! Nokia phones are too expensive for their values as well. Imagine Nokia E90 which I bought in the year 2008 for N105, 000 having just about 128 MB RAM and less than 500MB internal storage! The phone is practically useless because u can't stream video successfully with it and what can u even do wt it? Compared to Samsung galaxy note 2 that I bought some months ago for N100k and having a 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage! Nokia really needs to do a kind of self re-appraisal and chart a new way forward with a view to getting into the mainstream of phone manufacturing in this century. ...take a cue from Samsung and and other leading giants.

But why didn't you buy the Note II in 2008?

Kizyte: I support your comment! Windows 8 has no good user interface and cannot be rated as the best os. Since Windows 8 was introduced, Microsoft has noticed some setback in business, unlike their previous version - windows 7.
The ROBOT is still the best os on mobile!

You are very ignorant.
I hope you know the difference between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.

Let me also ask you what othes OSes you've used apart from android

ciphoenix: hasn't MTN always been unlimited?

Yes MTN BIS has always been unlimited on non-blackberry smarphones. That's exactly why I want this thread to get to the front page

It seems as though y'all didn't learn anything from the glo bis situation.


FYI, this is not the first time its happening. Same thing happened at about this time last year and guess what? It got blocked when parrots started running their mouths.



Infact @moderator please post this thread on the front page so we can all go back to airtel.

saintvalx: Ha ha ha! Now I can comfortably laugh before I resort to bed. I should have checked your profile earlier, I didn't know you're all about phones. Sorry sir. emabinu. Good night.

Modified:
but u know my point and stop feigning and there's nothing cryptic about my analogy/sarcasm.

Like I said, I like the pricing of Tecno phones and would want them to go on and make mid-range and high-end phones at relatively lower prices as far as quality is not compromised. At least this is the way it is in other countries.


But before that, we need to be true to ourselves about their current line-up which although fantastic, is not meant to be a direct competitor to current high-end phones

saintvalx: isorait! But I can differentiate a humble question from a condescending one(from ur first response to my post).
Can we go to sleep now, cos am drowzy?

I can also differentiate a knowledgeable post from an ignorant one. It's good you narrowly escaped the bait.


But like the op asked if P3 was the best low-end phone (note: low-end), I think you need to get the difference between low, mid and high-end so you stop getting it mixed up.


You can go and sleep now.

saintvalx: Ah ahn! Why would u take my word so literally.

I bought a car and I was telling my friend about it and then a random 'you' came from no where and said "shup up, that whip is old skool". Then my friend who's got temper will come to u and practically give a slap and say "that '09 Camry can make it to where ur Range Ro' can reach".



Don't DERIDE others effort my friend, ur mate get private jet for jand. True talk.

It seems you're mistaken me for someone else because I don't get your sarcasm.





Let me remind you our line of discussion.

First I came across your post that said those buying expensive phones are jealous of cheaper ones. I was quite confused and asked you to explain. You then went on to say the N7 can measure up to the S3 and I simply asked you to specifically state in what ways it does that. You then come up with this. I'm still waiting.





Yes I took your word literally because you gave specific numbers and came across as someone who knows a thing or two.





Lastly, I don't think your analogy comparing the 09 Camry to the Range R is correct. I used to think it was more of a 1979 VW Beetle to the current Range R. But then I might be wrong and that's what I want you to specifically clarify.



P.S. Just so you don't get it wrong, let me emphatically state that I have absolutely nothing against Tecno phones and that I applaud their really competitive pricing and hope others will follow suit especially if it does not affect quality.

saintvalx: Some examples of what? That Techno N7 can actually flex muscles and tell s3 that 'e no get wetin you wan tell me'?

First, the N7 is above 20K and the S3 is well below 100k but I would give you that.


But please can you specifically (note: specifically) mention the ways the N7 measures up to the S3 cos that part confuses me a bit.

saintvalx: Thread Durella or Derailer, why dont u stay with ur Nokia and let Techno users gloat over their new toys. Those that bought phones worth 100k are going mad because 20k Techno phone users can stand on the same page with them. Abeg park well joor.
...and I'm not even a Techno user

Interesting.... can you please give me some examples.

Frostyzone: I strongly disagree on the bolded.

Android OS is such a simple and superb
platform where you can turn your phone into a complete utility machine.
In Nokia's Lumia series, to transfer content like music and videos you need to download and install Zune into the machine, without which, your phone is nothing.
Whereas in Android you don't need any
special thing to start the mass storage mode.
The only strong contender coming from WP Stable is WP8 which is almost as good as android's Jelly bean.

You are quite confused man.

Most of the things you said are wrong.
For starters, let me point out one. Android has never been associated with simplicity. Infact it's the most complex modern OS.

irokobest: Techno N7 and Q1 are not low end android phones

They are certainly low-end.

Phones like the galaxy grand and S3 mini are mid-range while the S3 and S4 are high-end.

You can draw your extrapolations from that.

Though it may be too blunt, I would have to agree partially with him especially with all the Tecno phones flying around.

Leopantro: Then, please tell me, why is it not so common? Everybody keeps posting profits of windows phone. If Iphone and android, that are so expensive, are very common how come people are not using windows phone as much as the others? That was why I asked the question earlier?

Because it's a relatively new OS which Nokia (its major OEM) started using not too long ago.

However, if you look at figures you would notice that it has continued to gain traction.

Also let me remind you that not too long ago everyone was using symbian and android and iOS were underdogs but look at what we have today.

Jeffy1206: we all know u wud say dis cos is nokia. lol

This has nothing with it being a Nokia phone. I'm always objective in my assessment and will point out pros and cons without bias.

Frostyzone: Apparently you have never seen an android phone before, not to talk of using one.

Daily automatic app updates is a common feature with android phones since it's inception. It's really not something to brag about.

Windows phones are great devices no doubt, but comparing it with ICS and JB OS that is the engine room of high-end Android devices is just sad.

The only real competition Android has now is iPhone and no other. Windows phones are collectively a distant third...or fourth.

Aside from a few nitpicks, WP would hold up perfectly against those two.
Personally, I prefer the WP UI to that of android and iOS.

I came across the grand duos and fiddled with it for some time and I must say it was impressive.


For me, the best phones around that price range are the grand duos and the Lumia 720. These two are really worth it.

dahnyell: thanks nairalanders...
SIII mini and galaxy grand are the two options viable...tecno out of it

the qstn now is which is better galaxy grand or sIII mini...advice me
*i dnt really like gaming (temple run and racing game is enof)
* i do alot of internet surfing
*i like having lots of apps on my fone
*i want super fast fone
*a gud camera
Gsmarena specs gat me confused...HELP ME CHOOSE galaxy grand or SIII mini?

You should go for the grand. You would be able to do all those better on it especially internet browsing and using apps. This is mainly because of its larger screen which is really immersive.
The mini is mainly for those who prefer a small form factor.

Revolva: seee i dont see the reason why i should use a lumia fone ..a fone that can senmd out files to another type of fone...damm what a rubbish

Ignoramus.

Tell me the Lumia phone that can't share files.

Nice one.

BBM is definitely the best messaging app on any platform. Better than Whatsapp in my opinion. Though it may hurt them in developing markets, overall it's a good move.

asala1: NOKIA is just struggling to survive, they can't compete with the likes of Samsung and Apple anymore as high end phones. They should try to hold down their market in low-end phone which they are fast losing to TECHNO.

What does this have to do with this phone.


I don't know when you started using a smarphone, but not too long ago Apple was bankrupt and even more recently Samsung was a nobody in the smarphone world.


So what again did you say your point is?

[quote author=Mrs..Cork]Nokia is sick and its only remedy is android,datz all,they should swallow their pride and embrace android.[/quote]And how would android help Nokia?

Symphony007: Nokia should stop competing with samsung and apple for the smartphone market, it's already too crowded. Return to making powerfull,cheap,simple to operate phones for the developing word, the company of the most sold phone ever "3310" can do better!

What exactly do you mean by better?

Rudebwoy: i don't think any of you has handled any tecno smartphone. i was talking like you guys about tecno till i saw and handled N3 and N7.

These models are low end yes but the fact remains they are smartphones running on android.

Tecno did not develope android and so it can perfom most tasks other android devices can perform.

I use galaxy note1 but should i need a low end smartphone, it must be the Tecno N7 period.

I have no problem with Tecno phones. What I have issues with are people who litter every thread acting like Tecno phones are high-end phones.

What exactly has this thread got to do with Tecno?
