Guys , please ignore @makavele... He is frustrated , don't let him drag you into his misery ,,, I foresee him committing suicide very soon, people like him are absolute failures in life , education, relationships ,etc ... They blame people for their failures and that is why they lash out unnecessarily .... See him calling another person foolish ... I'd love to murder you on here but since you will commit suicide very soon ... I don't need to do that!!

Since your last ship date is 13th , I have some wristwatches I want delivered to me in Washington .. if you can pickup from those locations , I would be more than happy ...

One word 'Yes' it can be used in Nigeria if its a 4G Verizon device but will be limited to 2G/3G, no LTE.

It's important we clarify what is posted here so some innocent people won't be misled by your earlier hazy conclusions, thinking that "Verizon is a global network provider" and as such all Verizon phones will work in Nigeria. You also mentioned that 4G Lte will work here in Nigeria whereas Verizon never unlocks 4G Lte on their devices on global mode. Don't you think so?

claycares:
You're right in your statements but Verizon is not a global network provider. Verizon's devices are global phones. Verizon's devices are CDMA locked to Verizon but GSM global ready/factory unlocked because the FCC gave them some conditions before granting it the present 4G license. One of those conditions was that their devices will be unlocked for int'l use. the implication of this is that if you purchase a 3G Verizon phone it won't work on Nigerian GSM network because it will be purely a CDMA phone and not a global phone.

ToyosiR:
pls all,

Can i unlock this phone? Can it work here in Nigeria?

LordReed:
To avoid stories that touch leave it alone. Verizon is not a GSM network most of its phones won't work here because the frequencies don't match.

U are the one missing the point. U won't find someone that own a Ferrari as an ONLY car, but u find people owning a corolla as an ONLY car. WHY? If a Ferrari is that reliable why can't people own it as an ONLY car?. Because they know it will only take a Ferrari expert to fix it when it breaks down and might take weeks or months before it gets running again, whereas every Tom dickk and Harry can fix a toyota. That is reliability. U can drive a corolla with all the malfunction lights showing on the dash, but u can't try that with a Ferrari. I need to take it to a specialist when there's a single malfunction light on the dash abs that might take weeks to fix. U can pour a cheap coolant or ordinary water in the radiator of a corolla, try that with a Ferrari. U can even pour a cheap engine oil or transmission fluid in a corolla and it will still run. Try that with a Ferrari.

Now back to the topic which says why do feature phones last longer than smartphone. That is because smartphones has a lot of features than ordinary phones. More features mean more internals, more processors , bigger and more expensive screens . it will be easier and cheaper to fix a Nokia 3310 than an iPhone. U can easily get a cheap charger or battery for Nokia 3310 whereas it will cost 3 times the price of a 3310 to buy a battery for an iPhone. So it is not very wise fixing these smartphones when they start aging.

Booyakasha:
That's my like there. 1Naira to you for being so knowledgeable, jetsetgo is a dick, but a knowledgeable dick, i get his point but he didn't even consider looking with my own eyes before calling me discouraging and wrong.

I hope you join our community @ my sig, we haven't finished yet though, i'm planning something great though

greenhulk:
So what are we saying? U just helped butress my point that a corolla lasts longer than a Ferrari. Who in his rightful mind would spend $3m to maintain a Ferrari for 15 years when that money could have gotten him a later model. U can easily find a corolla that has 1million mileage, but if u ever find a Ferrari that has clocked 300,000 mileage then it would have become a money pit, a no go area, nobody wants it. So tell me which one lasts longer? U can drive a corolla everyday, u only drive a Ferrari once in a while, for show off.

Same thing with smartphone, it costs 14k to change the screen of my sister's Sony xperia z, that is a 3 yr old phone. Why would she spend that much money to fix an outdated phone when she can add a little more money and get a more recent phone?

jetsetgo:
I yaff already agreed with you not because I think you are right, but because I wan't church to close so we can go home.

PS: I like how you respond, I wish more people on nairaland could be as objective as you are. You don't fight over your opinions. When I grow up I hope to be more like you.

greenhulk:
I don't need to own one to know. U can hardly see someone own a Ferrari for 15 years. They usually sell it off after using it for 2-3 years. And they don't drive it everyday, only occasionally. On the other hand u can drive a corolla everyday for 20 years and it will still remain strong.
