4llerbuntu: Wicked man, see as you just downsize their swagger, nokia go sue u o, or bribe you with one and you immediately turn into their evangelist (Naija Style)

Honestly, i doubt if half the people buying that thing even understand what its about anyway.
id understand if a journalist plumped for it, but the average joe?

That phone has nothing else going for it except the camera, and that camera is not exactly practicable for a regular user. pictures at the full resolution will be large, quite large. Funny tho is that phone has 16 Gb internal and can only support microSD up to 32 Gb.


worse is facebook, instagram etc no go allow you post pictures of that size na. so if its just to have such res pics on your phone, for that price id pass.

You can get a good DSLR for that price na

texazzpete: You saw several hundred people (out of a HUGE population) and it's 'everybody' abi?

I find it puzzling that Nokia is selling this low end phone for 100 - 95k...and that normal people are buying at that price.

If i was in Lagos and i was too broke to buy a decent smartphone, i'd have queued for that phone at N41k, sold it to a mugu like yourself for 85k (discount ) and then added 10k to the money and picked up a Galaxy S III. That's #Winning.

Not even a 41MP camera would make me use that phone.

sniperwolf: I really hate this argument between N8 and 701. The poster did not mention either of the phones. I own N8 and my cousin owns 701. I can tell that the only advantage (for an ordinary man) the 701 has over the N8 is the price.
Just like no 2 clock can have the same time, it may be applicable to colours.
The N8 runs smoothly, the N8 can run the same number of applications the 701 can run the same time. Maybe you should ask yourself how many applications do I need at the same time? At most 5.
N8 enjoys a powerful 12 MP and bigger memory.
How many smart device supports NFC? Not so many, so it's too early to be important

temmy.m3:
Jedisco, The picture above is a 701 (above) and N8 (below)displaying the same content with both set at maximum brightness, The 1st pic is a Disney walt cartoon (video) and d 2nd was a random picture from Belle presets, can u spot the differences in screen colour accuracy and contrast ratio between both? which will u prefer Dont forget dsame screen run your games o.
Having a smartphone aint just about... EH! I HAVE THE BIGGEST RAM AND THE FASTEST CPU + The Brightest smartphone eva produced .. Seriously if i should use that as my main reason of choosing a device, then am gonna keep changing phones every week. There are other main things you enjoy when u own a device apart from basic smartphone stuff, like how much contents is the in-built memory willin to contain, how good is the production ( Camera & Video) and cosumption as well ( Amoled or TFT), i do love getting the best out of gadget i own. Take for example FM TRANSMITTER, i noticed i get good transmission with the N8 in d car when i place the aluminium casing on any metal surface like the rear speakers? Also recording videos, there is another mic placed just below the loudspeaker to allow a professional recording of videos in stereo mode and voice cancelation. I also made a snapshot of a spinning standing fan on our previous thread to show how far an N8 camera could go, no matter how fast the object is. The phone has replaced my room's DVD player cos i plug my flashdrive via OTG Cable then connect to TV via HDMI and i enjoy a perfect picture quality + a good dolby sorround sound, i hav even uploaded my gaming moments on TV with the phone if u still remember. I v even made my own versions of Belle for N8. What more do i really want for a phone? Tell me, if i should hav 701 as my main device, will i really enjoy 50% of all this. Why should i go stand inside the sun cos i wanna feel the power of clearblack in sunlight? Or go for the sexiest phone (like a candy, as u always quote.lol) when i knew d plastic casin is really gonna start getting old before a year?
We all have our different reasons for choosing devices anyway but as i v always said, all recent Nokia devices have their specific purposes, at least to me and consodering the lil' experiences i had with them
N8- Multimedia production
X7-Multimedia consumption
E7-Keyboard satisfaction
701-screen Brightness
808- The mother of them all, for now
It s your choice, but choose wisely!

I tell u 701 DOESNT POSSESS ANY ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER! Mind u the poster never mentioned 701 na...

temmy.m3:
Wheeew, bro i neva knew how much u loved your 701 until i saw this post, had to go scroll back up to see who the poster was. Hmmmm. U and 701 sha. Incredible
Seriously u prefer a 701 screen to a C7?? What are u bro lol. u still feel good with a TFT screen in 2012? Why is dat old screen still used on High-End devices anyway..
I know u luv 701 & u ar used 2 it but u need to try out other Nokia belle devices apart from its good looks and its upgraded RAM compared to some old Nokia Belle devices. I sold mine 2wks ago though. I tell u 701 DOESNT POSSESS ANY ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER! Mind u the poster never mentioned 701 na...

@OP. It depends on what u really wanna be doing with your device. First, NEVER EVER CONSIDER BUYING AN EXPENSIVE PHONE WITH A TFT SCREEN if you wanna get a good quality of Movies, games and pictures and display generally.

4llerbuntu: Nice try,

condemn the best features in one of the phones in the most ridiculous way you can and tout the other one to be the best thing since sliced bread.

texazzpete: You really have his measure.

I keep telling this man that for every phone there are pros and cons. The one you choose to be 'better' is the one the pros outweigh the cons for you.

Left to me, I'd choose the Galaxy S III just for its raw power (I think I know what to do with it) and the fact that it has loads more apps (so gives me a softer landing from iOS).

But i'd be the last person to say the Lumia 900 is not a gorgeous, elegant phone. and for many people moving up from Symbian, it's fast, animates beautifully and the UI is perhaps the best out there.

4llerbuntu will only like a phone when he can spend his time editing all the *.ini and *.inf files in it.

4llerbuntu: seriously like HOW OLD ARE YOU?


SO U THINK ITS A WIN/LOSE THING? chai tex, see as your adopted son just fall your hand

I could sworn just a few posts back you said you did not say one phone was better?so what did you win on a vs thread?

ahhh, figures. now i understand

maybe u shld add a poll up there to see what pple think about this your "victory"

joanana: Accepting defeat is not a crime ooo una fingers no dey pain unaaa... na wa ooooooo. Samsung Galaxy S3 is best phone in the market now

4peace: Let me know not-so-popular ones so i can give the description

4llerbuntu: hehehe, this has to be the strangest debate ever.

i dont use a lumia, i will NEVER buy a lumia.
that said i have both phones in close proximity, i have friends, colleagues, gf who actually buy and use this this things, and always come lto me for stuff.

that said. why is it that you type so much without saying anything? i ask you direct questions but you say so much without a single direct answer!!!

for a person who dont have a lumia, you KNOW FOR A FACT IT RUNS BETTER THAN A SGS3?

When i post specs, you say im posting off the net, am i supposed to manufacture specs offhand?


i try to structure this argument, but you keep going wide and introducing fallacies. PRODUCE JUST ONE INDEPENDENT REVIEW THAT RATES THE LUMIA BETTER!!!

then all your bull abt specs, thats how you lie abt the ram, when actually the ram stayed the same from sgs 2 to sgs 3.


tell us why d lumia is better, you say because of user experience etc. THATS OF A FONE YOU DONT USE O.
ok give us an example of another more learned independent opinion that says its better, you say online stuff is not valid.


u make assertions like d wp apps one or the multitasking one, i adopt the layman perspective coupled with hard tech facts, you refer me to symbian. are we discussing symbian v android?


like i said, this convo is done. continue deceiving yourself. incidentally even tex, your authority, does not align to your notion anyway.
then on the symbian thread i never joined d debate so nothing to finish. that one is a non-starter. if the company that owns symbian could publicly drop it and adopt another platform to.compete with ios and android, then i wonder what you are arguing. symbian is superior abi? SMH

Ozegbe: have been looking for that today app and cant find it and also the hear and write uses internet connection.
