[quote author=trae_z]HTC phones are too many that a blanket answer would amount to generalization.

use Phone Finder on http://www.gsmarena.com/ to check for the specifications you want.

I suggest as per battery life you go for phones with 1500 mAhs and above[/quote]Thank you very much my brother. I'll do just that.

[quote author=jidedon2000@yah]My LORD is AWESOME,My GOD of Signs and Wonders has done it for me and wife,our Visa has been approved.na d black lady @ window 13 'll gist u guys more later in d day when am settled.Cheers[/quote]I'm happy for you guys.
Congratulations!

lagoshost: HTC phones are very good with great apps.

The only problem is the battery. You need to know how to manage it. If you manage it well, you can use the battery for 10 - 15 hrs or even 1day or 2.

I have one now and I am enjoying it.

One more things is, dont waste your money buying old phones.

That is my contribution.

Cheers!

You're too much.

docbunmi: Thanks everyone. We had a 7am appt and got der @ abt 6am. We were third in line but I had to go back to drop my baby's milk and water outside cos its not alloweD. We went thru all d security checks and by d time we entered d interview hall, it was 7:11am. We paid N163,500 for d 3 of us and after abt 15mins a Nigerian woman called us @ window 13 and asked for my hubby's educational papers, our marriage cert and birth certs and police report. We were already told to open d sealed medical reports @ d gate before entering. Anyway, at this point we had a bit of issue wit my hubby's neco, d original was not in d package! Instead we packed a color copy dat looks just like d original! See shock and confusion,we asked to go get a scratch card outside but we were refused dat we cnt go outside again. Anyways we offered up some prayers and waited. Then d CO came and we were d first pple attended to
CO: good morning
WE: good morning
CO: asked for d payment slip and told us to sign and take d oath. Here, my baby was babbling and I told d CO dat "see, my baby is taking d oath too" and everyone laughed. From dat moment, it was smiles and jokes galore
CO: asked my hubby who played d lottery for him and my hubby said I did it for him and she asked me if dat was true and I agreed and went further to tell her d date I played it. She then asked my hubby wat he does for a living and asked him to explain exactly wat he does. She then asked wen we met and my husband and I told her d story, completing each odas sentences and she was just smiling. She assked wat job I do and I told her I am a doc and specialize in family med. She asked if we had pics and we showed her our wedding photo book and she loved d yoruba attire of d engagement. While, we were still flipping thru d album, she printed out a white paper and circled d first addy and said " dats fine, ur daughter is lucky to have parents so in love like u guys.congrats and welcome to america, go pick ur passports and visa nxt wk @ d circled addy. We said thanks, smiling and as we turned to leave, my baby picked up d black phone to put it in her mouth and d lady started talking baby talk to her dat even d pple waiting were laughing with us
The lesson here is dat though we had some scary moments, we kept our heads and were positive.
Success to everyone else too
Ire na akari o

Congratulations to your family.
Beeni o, ire naa akari l'oruko Jesu!!!

Congratulations to you my brother.
Welcome to America!

@all: more inputs o, abeg.

Bryteatori: Have used BB for 2yrs but when i changed to HTC Android phone, it was den i realised BB is just a toy wen it comes to functionality and durability compared to de HTC Droids.

Really? That's interesting. Can you shed more light on its functions? And all that makes it a better gadget? Thanks.

Adufesco: Hello my people in the house, pls i want to ask about 1 question in Ds230! The work you intend to do in USA but i put "UNKWON" there, so if they ask me again in my interview what are my going to say? Pls i need ur respond..

It's no big deal my dear. And if asked, tell them what you intend doing.

emebeteaderashn: How can i get affidavit about my misspelled middle name

Get it done in a court.

malcon: Landed safely to JFK Airport New York. Its really an exciting journey but spent alot of time cos i flew Qatar airways and it flew to Doha first before heading to New york. U.S. immigration officers dont joke at all.make sure you keep your yellow envelop in your hand luggage cos they do serious checks before letting one in. This place is indeed God's own country.Every where is just shining with lots of lights.Many thanks to all forumite..

Welcome to America!
I'm happy for you oooo.

What/who suffers where two elephants fight? The grass?
It is the people that seek one or two responses to their concern on this thread.
Insults and assaults of whatever form will not help anybody on this thread. I want to beg you guys to drop your anger against each other and let's move on.
@temmytanny is in Texas and @gentiger is coming to Texas too. Imagine that. For the sake of love, because I know you guys will set eyes on each other very soon, let us embrace peace and forgive each other.
On behalf of the great people of this thread, I declare you guys friends as from today and say no to enemity. And so shall it be from now and forever!

Yes. I know you are typing furiously and in anger to send a brutal reply...
STOP!!!

temmytanny: the case is up for delibration in the house next year but the white house has already opposed the move

Good!

Guys, let's embrace peace. Enough of these assaults for christ's sake.
@temmytanny and @gentiger: I take God beg una. E don do o! Funny enough, you guys have contributed immensely to the success of this thread. Make una no allow devil take us for granted o. It is well.

emebeteaderashn: Pls guys give a response for my earlyer post

I've not had my interview but I don't think you should worry or bother yourself. The guys at the embassy are human beings too and sure they'll understand. It's something they come across everyday.
However, if you feel uncomfortable about this, kindly opt for an affidavit to cover the misspelt name.
Good luck to you.

ufotuko: what about if the person has changed his address,i mean the address of the person that i sent to kcc?

Have you done your interview? If No, fill a new form to accommodate the new address of your host and send it to KCC asap via email: KCCDV@state.gov
Note: just the host address page o!

Baroba: HTC phones are very durable and well made, the look beautiful as well.with regards to features,high end models can compete easily with iPhone 5 or galaxy s3.The sense over lay for me is still the best overlay compared to Samsung's touchwiz, Make sure you buy a high end model like the one x+ with a heavy battery, if not, you go the carry charger and spare battery everywhere..

Very interesting input. Thanks.

samguru: i am in dire need of money to pay for my professional exams

May the good Lord meet you at the points of your need.

ufotuko: you guys are doing a very wonderful job by enlightening people about the american visa lottery,pls i want to ask that is it when i am giving visa that i will also be given green-card

NO. You'll get your green card when you finally get to the US.

sabbath7th: The qualiy of life is great.
Cost of living is cheap relative to many European Countries and low inflation.
You can do anything within the law and no one would question you.
Roads are great and mobility is awesome.
Security.
Any latest gizmo is avilable to you first before you can get in anywhere in the world.
Everything is so standardized here.

Thank you my brother.
Our leaders in Africa should buy into this and make life worth living for their people. Well, maybe by the time we all 'commot' from the continent, they'll wake up. "Eyin oyinbo, E wa fun mi ni Visa mi o".

Adufesco: I know! But am just worried about the year i did the birth certificate 1998, hope that is not 2 old to use? Pls reply...

My dear, stop bothering yourself. You are okay with what you have.

gog123: Hello Forumites,I am a guest in this forum, I have been reading all you postings since it started and have learnt a lot from it. I watched all the quarrels, arguments, fights,the happiness and congratulations.I have also decided that it will be selfish of me to read all the posting and not share the reason why i have been following this post.My sister and the husband with 3 kids won the lottery and had their successful interview today. The husband is the principal applicant, we were having so many doubt because his highest qualification is olevel but decided to put it in the hands of God, not only is he Olevel but he finished secondary school in the early eighties with two credits without math or english.Later in early 2000 he did Neco with only 3 credits including only english.
I have been preparing them with the questions I get from this forum, this is also where I found out that visa has gone down to $330, I knew last year was $819. I have also headrd a lot about this black angel at the embassy, he said she was the one that attended to them.To cut the long story short, this was how it went.
Co: Raise yr hand and say after me ...
Husband: Repeated after co....
Co:What is your highest level of education?
Hus: Olevel
Co:Are these your children?
hus: Yes
Co: I want to see their picture when they were babies
hus: He brought out the oictures and handed it tho her.
Co: How long have you been married ?
Hus: He told her
Co: where do you work and how long have you been there?
Hus: answered
Co: what is your job there?
Hus:Answered
Co: (Asked the wife) what kind of marriage did you do?
wife: Answered
Co: Smiling (Left and came back with a white paper telling them where and whhen to collect the visa/passport.)
That was it,infact he thought the black angel was just verifying things before the real interview will start not knowing she was already done with him. When they called to tell me, it was still like magic to them but when God is at work, there is no much story, it flows like you were made for it.From what I have seen so far if you can proof that you have at least attended secondary sch, the visa will be yours. Pls rejoice with me. US is a land opportunity, if you are hard working you will make, I am riping mine.The land is enough to contain all of us from naija,just about 3 states here will cover our land area, until our own govt will learn their lesson and change if they will. Encourage yr relations to play and continue yr good work on this forum.I wish all the upcoming interview success.

Thanks for sharing their success story with us.
Congratulations!

sozen2010: Hello house, advice pls...can the person who is the principal applicant(winner of DV) decides to send his family ahead and later join say 2 months interval; having gone through necessary procedures. Or they will have to be there together?

...waiting, thank you.

There's no point waiting behind as the principal winner. Your best bet is to go with them and come back later for whatever purpose or you go alone while they meet with you at a later date. This you must tell the CO during your interview.
Your family are derivatives and therefore can not enter the US before you. I stand to be corrected though.

Pysam: since you re using a BB wich is a smartphone get an adroid htc phone any ll be gud

I'll look into that. Thank you.

temmytanny: Its yours already,they are just helping you to keep it

Amen IJN.

temmytanny: abi ooo

No mind the @poster jare.
How's your family? This visa bulletin is something else o. But I pray for a favourable one by the time the visa bulletin is released.

temmytanny: very lovely,lots of africans in Arlington then grand prairie,lots of naija churches,lots of jobs bt you must be mobile.Are you coming to TX? if you are,just relax and God will handle the rest. House rents are cheap and expensive. cheap in unsecured areas(like $450 per month for miniflat) and expensive in secured areas(like $600 upwards)

I can't wait to have my visa oooo...
