coogar: you are a tool.....



in emergency situation - you would get treated even before they ask for your name and address. that's standard! if you walk in there yourself then there might be issues of your NHS card and blah blah blah



you are a tool......
i should be the one paying for patients in nigeria - what is your government doing? what have YOU done to sensitize your deaf government to listen to the suffering masses? heck, what has nigeria done for me as a country?



the ethos of a good doctor is to save lives - if he cannot do that basic task then he should pack up, go to the market and buy farm implements. he's better off in the farm planting cash crops!



so coogar is supposed to address child marriages and bad roads in nigeria? was it me you voted for in the last elections? you have the brain power of a slug!

I don't know why you're throwing insults.

You keep shouting emergency, UK.
Let me ask you why and how they offer such services there? Is it because the doctor pays?


Just as you're not the one to be paying for patients, so also is the doctor not the one to do that.


B doctor is meant to save lives but it's not part of his duty to do that for free.

Malnutrition kills more Nigerian children than cancer does to British children and yet I don't see anybody attacking Mr. Biggs

frosbel: My mother in-law was treated for free 2 times in an emergency situation here in the UK , though she is 100% Nigerian.

When the ambulance came to my house , they did not ask if my mother-in-law was a citizen or had any money, they used all their sophisticated medical gadgetry to diagnose her illness and make recommendations. Prior to this she was given free access to a doctor with treatment.

Human life is always more important than money in life threatening situations.

I've got just one question for you.

DO YOU THINK SHE WAS TREATED FOR FREE BECAUSE THOSE WHO TREATED HER TOOK CARE OF HER BILLS?



I want you to understand that you don't walk into a hospital in the UK and get treated because the doctor takes care of it.
It doesn't happen that way in any country.

@forsbel and coogar
I hope you know you are talking rubbish.

You keep mentioning UK. Do you think I can go into any hospital in the UK and get free emergency care because the doctor takes care of it?

I hope you know that your rants here ain't gonna change nothing. So let me ask you what have you done personally to ensure free emergency care?
Have you ever been to any Nigerian hospital and paid patients fees?
Or do you think that it's part of the doctors training to offer free services?
Maybe you should start with JAMB and spend 6 years in school and come out and offer free services.

Do you know that bad roads cost us more lives than this? Or do you know how many lives early marriages cost us? What have you done to address those?

You should throw that your 'what if it's your sister' rant into the dustbin cos its not going to save anybody.

@op
You should mind your business. I don't see BB users complaining and I also see no reason why you should do so on their behalf.

Stanley08: Hey! Good! You got my point! RangeRoverHSE and Toyota Camry no dey the same level!

I don't know what you mean by level, but for now one thing is certain- the iPhone is more successful and expensive.

2.5 mill my arse

I don't know why you have this personal beef with Nokia.

I hope you know that out of the over 30 million GSIIIs sold, not one cent gets to your pocket? You should look forward to a strong competition from different OSes and not just a two horse race.



@op
Given that this kind of news came wi.previous lumias but they didn't sell up to the hype, I'm kind of neutral on this.
That aside, the phone seems to be doing well especially with its worldwide release. Several carriers have come out to say it's selling much better than expected.
If it does well, then WP would certainly be on track because the 940 would then be the major hit.

Stanley08: Why you no compare Note II nah?! iPhone 5 is sold for upto 270K, compare it to Note II of only 94K and see that iPhone is crap.

No even common homescreen, no widgets. iOS = rubbish!

Why do some of you make posts just to cause commotion?
So because iOS doesn't have widgets its rubbish? That's just like saying a Mercedes car is rubbish because it doesn't look like a Toyota car. Or hasn't it ever occurred to you that iOS and android are not meant to look alike?

[quote author=mr.drizzy]then this time ur wrong check urself[/quote]At the last apple event in October, apple
announced that there are currently
750,000 apps in the app store. Sometime
after that google announced that
they've reached 700,000.
Some months prior to these, Microsoft announced that they've reached the 100,000 mark.

[quote author=mr.drizzy]who told i get a fone cus the whole population uses it.i aint like u nigerians..the nexus to me is such a nice phone full body antiscratch even ur so calld iphone 5 cant do dat..wonna get some complains go to gsmareana and get ppls review of the so calld iphone 5,lots of complain....to me i do love the nexus cus u have free access to all google apps and i mean all of it.nt other products of android that are abit restricted to some particular appz.and yes the iphone remains the costliest fone...the hike on it is jst too much,bt yet it still cnt beat powerful fones like motorola droid raxr maxx hd,lg optimus G,or even the htc one x+ ..my advise check the specs b4 talking.*peace*[/quote]Then where did your '..becos u wan buy fone
mtscheew' come from?
If you think you prefer a particular phone, then go on with it. You don't need to troll every other phone which is not your choice.
Early released iPhone 5 may have had issues but have you ever wondered why it has one of the highest user rating much better than what you listed?


Now to your spec trash, I'm still wondering what you use to gauge power and how those phones are more powerful than iPhone.

The thing with most android users is that you are always looking at specs without understanding them. iPhone 5 has just about a 1.3GHz processor and 1GB of RAM but I'm still yet to see any android device that outperforms it. The best you can get is something comparable.

If you still want more examples, I can go on and give you examples of devices with lower sized batteries or 5MP cameras doing better than those with larger sized batteries or 8MP cameras respectively. Or even 1GB RAM dual core devices performing better than 2GB quad core devices.
So when next you want to compare specs, make sure you understand them and how they affect performance cos without that, they are useless.


And FYI, I don't use an iPhone.

[quote author=mr.drizzy]hahaha well i actually guessed it.i think the android total apps is like 550,000 or more.and the microsoft is lile 100,000 my bad.*peace*[/quote]It seems you're still guessing because these figures are still wrong.
Go and recheck and come back.

[quote author=mr.drizzy]hmm. U just talk without checking facts ..theres google near u,jst check it urself rather than embarassing urself.mtscheew[/quote]It seems you're new around here.
I don't need to google it to give you not just exact numbers but dates. Not even iOS which has more apps than android is anything close to 1 million. Also the number you gave for windows phone is horribly wrong or are you just making guesses?

[quote author=mr.drizzy]omg i cant believe thia the lumia 920 is 105k(my sch house rent for 5yrs and the 820 is 76k..becos u wan buy fone mtscheew. I better still get the nexus 4..on this thread www.nairaland.com/1102952/google-gadget-nexus-world[/quote]Speak for yourself.
The iPhone is the most successful and expensive non-luxury phone. Hope you know the nexus 4 has no hope of selling close to it?
If you have an amount to spend on a phone, then do it without complaining of people who spend more.

[quote author=mr.drizzy]also pls can someone tell nokia to dumb microsoft and move to android(which is like the biggest software alive) i must say itss a cool fone bt limited in apps cus of its windows processor/os .android has like over 1million apps in compard to microsoft's 300,000.compare them..so guyz jst imagine this ''''NOKIA RUNNING ON ANDROID OS'''' wow?[/quote]Man stop talking trash or rather get your facts right before you talk.

@op take away the asha, it's not part of their name.

Just to clarify some issues.

The device will be available in December.

Lumia 920 can be pre-ordered for 105,000k while 820 for 82,000k from any MTN center nationwide.

The pre-order comes with a free wireless charger and 6 months free internet data.

The device is exclusive to MTN for 3 months but comes unlocked so can be used with any sim.

tonigreen: Thnx my bro. i really appreciate ur detailed explanation. remain blessed.
Is the 701 still in the market, becos i couldn't get it @ onitsha. (Anambra state)

of course it's still in the market. Maybe you should check a different shop.

tonigreen: like which one?

After the N8 came C7, E7 and others. They were largely thesame with some subtle differences like camera quality, screen size, internal memory e.t.c but they can largely be regarded as thesame generation of symbian^3

After those, 701, 700 e.t.c were released out of which 701 was the best. These ones had twice the RAM better GPUs and also twice the processor speed and a slightly larger battery among other things.
These also debuted with symbian belle which was updated to belle fp1 and later fp2.
Though the older devices got belle, afterwards they only got belle refresh which is more of a cut down version of fp1.
What you get with these is a vastly better performance than previous devices which were BTW not bad.
Not too long ago, 808 was released which added a 41MP camera and a inch screen but with almost thesame internals. It together with 701 and co can be largely considered as another generation.
So all-in-all, 808 is currently the best symbian device while 701 at its price offers the best value for money. If you've got the money then go for 808.


Before I forget, Nokia 500 was also released with 701 but it's pretty much a low end device running belle.

[quote author=Da_b¤§§.]I see. It's a nice strategy really because most people in nigeria outside the tech group don't even know of the lumia 800 720 etc.[/quote]Well it's a Nokia phone and Nokia is still quite popular here.

I was checking up the price of a device at slot when I noticed that the price of the previous lumias has dropped significantly just one month after launch. Well it was expected.
For example lumia 800 is now 50k.
I can only imagine if they were released back in May.

This is another reason why the market release of 920 now would have further pushed those down. lumia 900 should be priced lower than 820 while 610 and the upcoming 510 should be below 30k

Bawss1: Oh OK, I assumed that the charging plate was included upon purchase.

Sometimes its a good thing to avoid the front page, that way the thread stays clear of them riffraff trolls who are up to no good.

You have a point here but I'm sick and tired of some folks who see nothing beyond their current device.

You should get something more recent. Apart from the camera, the phone is out-dated in the symbian world.

But this thread don try o.
8 pages without getting to frontpage. I can't remember any other thread achieving such.

Bawss1: ^ I'm a little confused, is the wireless charging plate a separate accessory? Does it not come in the box when you buy the 920?

It's a totally separate accessory just like the bluetooth headphone or JBL speaker.
It's just that its a cool feature that Nokia want to make mainstream.

Just to add that if you pre-order also get a wireless charging plate.
So all-in-all, you get the phone, 6 months data and a wireless charging plate.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]That will be such a let down; not everyone can afford to pay 80k and above for a phone just to experience it's own brand of OS.[/quote]Of course but from the look of things, it seems all flagships are above that.
