GAY!

Habeebpain...seriously? You've still not met Motunrayo? ...I feel bad. I wonder why it's taking this long... We are still waiting.

Yeah, the charger was kinda like an issue for me, because i always have to use a computer to charge, but i'm getting used to it sha. I just make sure the charger is always in my bag. And i noticed that when the battery gets so low, like 10% or so, the phone tells me one stuff i cant remember for now, and after that, the battery takes me for some more hours. Funny enough, I was searching for dresses for this baby, but I didn't find any. Her clothes are not yet in many shops...or maybe its where I live

Meanwhile, my baby (still thinking of a name for her) is slowly getting impatient from waiting for Motunrayo gold. She's now beginning to think she's being put on a looooong thing, Lol. She therefore decided to explore the world a bit and discover her purpose in life, and guess what? She learnt how to take selfies ... (Geez...I'm feeling like a pro

Baby mama, you have said it all!

Indeed, from the OP's write-up, it seems to me like she is underage . That has to be the only logical explanation for all this rambling. Need I say more?

Habeebpain: Networks in the US operate on some bands or frequency that networks in other countries don't support. So some manufacturers usually make models for the two options. US version and International version. Buying the international version is usually advisable, so you don't end up with a phone that wouldn't work with your network operator's frequency. I have a friend who bought a certain htc phone that didn't support any of the 3G bands used by Nigeria.

Thanks for taking the time to explain

[quote author=nani.666]Quite frankly I don't really give a rat's a*s*s about the phone...I couldn't care less if you wanna snap anything or not...personally I don't really like the phone... I detest nexus devices in general... that being said, I think anyone that opens a thread about any new device in this section should provide the necessary info about the device... with pictures and screenshots included...that's how sh*t goes down in this section..and that's why chics aren't supposed to be opening threads in this section... that's why there's a romance section.... you chics can knock yourselves out there....

to think that were namesakes [/quote]Lol... Your post about chics and threads and romance section actually got me laughing [s]when I'm on my computer, I'll highlight the part[/s].

Whatever joor. And again, get another user name

[quote author=Ody-Ody]No i didn't o. But i considered cancelling the order and placing it on phones4u but i learnt my refund wont be immediate. I'll wait.. I don't have a choice. Its worth the wait, like u said. I'll just miss it this christmas.[/quote]Yeah...not a bad idea waiting. Tomorrow or next, you just might receive an email telling you that 'your order has been dispatched'. Let's keep our fingers crossed, anything can happen.

At least, you'll have it before 2014 . Please let me know when the little package arrives, so that you can teach me some things we can discuss on what it can or can't do

[quote author=Ody-Ody]Amazon updated yesterday that delivery is for after 25th Dec. Hmmm... I'm almost tired of waiting... I keep watching the review over and over to get a temporary feel of the phone... Lol...[/quote]25th? . Geez... But Did you consider buying directly from Motorola? You can get it on their site, and there's even free delivery to some locations. But then again, you just might be lucky to have it way earlier than 25th. Looks like they are receiving lots of orders.

Eyaah... Christmas present. Hehehe. Lets hope you receive it before 2014. Loool! Good thing is that its worth the wait.

[quote author=nani.666]beht ain't it rather obvious that what he actually means is that you should snap the phone with another phone...? wait...are you blonde ?[/quote]Duh...isnt it rather obvious that I am not willing to 'snap the phone'?... At least not for the pleasure of your clique
You guys should look it up online

I can see myself gradually going back and forth on this thread. I REPEAT... "I am not advertising Motorola, I was interested in meeting other users". That being said, blondies are way smarter than the bullies on this thread. Its not by muscle!

Meanwhile, please change your user name

Habeebpain: @nanidee I don't know if you are a geek but don't worry I'm here to help you out. Pre-ordered for mine last week, hope it arrives soon by the Grace of God. Had to wait for the international version. Fell in love with the Moto G at first sight. She's a beauty to behold. Love the phone so much, I've picked a name for her; MOTunrayO Gold. You can call her Moturayo. I've got plans for her though. Planning to take a cue from Mr Mobility's House of Mo and start my own geek diary that talk's about my adventures with Motunrayo.
When I get my phone, I'll help you with some stuffs. I'll update some specs and details later. Don't mind the derailers. This thread is going to make front page and we are going to do it TOGETHER.

Yaaay! Someone finally God-sent . I am far from a geek o. My first time using android . I still struggle with ordinary contacts every now and then, as I keep calling people by mistake all the time, Lol. Meanwhile I am still struggling to remove my first location on the phone, which has since been stored as my 'home'. To the extent that wherever I am, it tells me that it takes me 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc to get 'home', and the best routes to take . Men, I have tried to remove that place as my 'home' o... the thing no gree comot. And this is just one of my many struggles. Lol. Do I even mention this location thingy that keeps telling the whole world anywhere I am. (Sorry to sound razz. I have just never been that much of a 'techy' person ) But i am still reading the manual sha... na small small

I cant wait for you to get yours. Lol at Motunrayo Gold... . Nice one. Now, I'm thinking of naming mine too . Meanwhile, what do you mean by 'international version'?

[quote author=Ody-Ody]Nanidee you are really funny. Actually i ordered for this phone on amazon.co.uk but the 16gb version. Since its out of stock, my delivery date is uncertain. But I'm patiently on the look out for it because its the best fone i can buy for the price of N40,960. But the uncertainty of its still delivery freaks me out. Did you get yours shipped to Nigeria or do u reside in the UK?[/quote]Hey Ody-Ody . When I ordered mine, the 16gb was not on Amazon. Besides, with my 8gb, I've used only 1.6gb for all the apps I downloaded and pics on it now . 8gb may even be too much for me. Lol. I experienced the 'stock thing' on Amazon when I ordered mine. I placed the order at about 12 midnight on 1st December, lets say 2nd December sha. But I was told that it would not be available till 6th of December. Surprisingly, 2 days later, I received an email saying my order has been dispatched and I got home on 5th to find my "beauriful" phone waiting for me. And no, I did not ship to Nigeria.

Trust me, its a nice phone. I downloaded the manual, and I am slowly reading it as the days go by. Too much info to digest at one seating

drizzypat: i tire o!! Bt what of the picture ,does it also take a guru u click snap on a fone??

See this one o... So tell me how you can snap your phone with your phone. Na wa o. I will hold the phone, and still snap the phone again, abi? Sorry, I no be "winshh"

2ND ACCT: LOLL....NOLLYWOOD THREAD

Well, its definitely a thread invaded by bullies and childish guys. Smh!

seunwen2: My tecno m7 is more better

Zammydagreat: 16gb is too small, 8gb is d worst, no sd ...its a no no 4 me

Oh well... I dont know much about phones, but this one does look good. Also, I think it depends on what you want out of a phone. I am still trying to figure out this phone, and so far, so good

THREAD CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote author=nani.666]abeg if any reasonable person should get this device he should try and post reviews here for everyone to see....[/quote]I choose to ignore your insult! Also, you might as well start a thread and invite 'reasonable' people with the phone, rather than inviting them to this thread. Nuff said!

caukerzee: Honestly.... If one wants to start a thread like this, he should have at least a little knowledge about the device in question to be able to give directions to others. Since the OP doesn't this thread is pointless.

Point of correction, I had called for those who have the phone, not to give directions to others! So please get that right

ovokeiv1: Emmmmm... OP, abeg i jst wan correct 1 impression wey u gt...... 36k5 is no whr near cheap, so i dnt knw y ure calling it cheap. Its a cool fone final!!!! 4gt d cheap tin. Tnx

Point taken

[quote author=nani.666]alrighty then.... Happy Dying [/quote]Happy dying too

caukerzee: I kinda understand what nani666 is trying to say. He is not asking for proove. The threads for particular models of phones in this forum are usually started with pictures of the phone, specifications listed out and maybe a few screenshots. It usually gives a clearer picture of what you are talking about and makes it easier for prospective buyers.

[quote author=nani.666]help me tell her o....that's why chics shouldn't be opening threads on Nairaland[/quote]Na both of you sabi

timbros: Party over just when I am arriving? Impossicant!

Funny enough I just googled this phone not too long ago. Please continue this party. I'm interested.

#StillLoveMoto

Everyone is already leaving the party

[quote author=nani.666]smh...I really don't see why you're being so dramatic... I guess its a girl thing...I just suggested all that cos apparently that would spice up this otherwise dry thread...and no one is doubting that you have the phone.... * sigh* Drama queens full Nairaland sha[/quote]No problem... lets leave the 'dry thread' to die so that we can all have some breathing space

Godvilla: [color=olive]WATCHING THIS THREAD IN ACUTE ANGLE, BISECTED BY TWO LINES OF *some_txt_missing*[/color]

No need to watch... the party's over now!

psalmdave: Lol.....i find it so funny.....Maybe its a new law on Nairaland

Lmao! Like really... I had to read the statements over and over again to be sure I was not getting the point mis-understood. Oh well, I will just go to other phone forums and discuss with people who have the phone. At least, they wouldn't ask me to 'prove' I have moto g (I wonder what I would have been required to do if it were a 'state-of-the-art'/expensive phone)

[quote author=nani.666]Lol...that's a picture you got online... I mean you could snap your Moto G phone and the package it came in...at least for us to see it and know you actually have the phone...and take some screenshots of some areas of the phone...like the “about phone”, the Homescreen..,etc...so we could see what the software of the device looks like.... you opened this thread...so you're responsible for keeping it going... So start making things happen you namesake of mine[/quote]Hian!... Smh! Na by force to believe? Why would I want people to 'actually believe' anything?...Na wa ooo. I was only interested in discussing with other people who own the phone, not to come here and tell you about the 'software of the device'. You see, you can easily find all that out yourself. The internet is loaded with any type of information you seek, rather than wait for me to come and repeat what you can find online. And if the thread doesn't keep going, no qualms. Its not my ticket to heaven

Fukup: is it the 16gig version you bought at that rate?...i wanna buy one by january next yr.

No, its 8gb. Almost £20 pounds more will get you the 16gb version.

jayriginal: It would help if you posted the specs and pictures.

[quote author=nani.666]why not post some screenshots to liven up the thread.....?[/quote]Geez... see Jamb exam o, lol. Me that does not even know anything about phones, i bought the phone because i read and watched a good number of positive reviews about it, and how the price was unbelievable, bla bla bla, And sure, when it arrived, it did look very good. As for all these technical stories, I don't have a clue

Okay o, here is what the phone looks like, and the specifications I saw on the website (truth is I dont know what half of it means, all I want my phone for is email, social media, pictures...which they say is not perfect sha, but the price makes up for it). I am launching it after I have gotten my micro sim

Meanwhile... why is no one answering my call for Moto G users?

@ Physise, I remember you gave me phone advice in the past ... you are a darling

Godvilla: [color=olive]Hmmm.........
I'll just keep mute [/color]

what happened?

Fukup: pls help me convert it in naira

I dont know the current rates, but what i know is that it is not up to N40,000... maybe like N35,000

Sweet Soup: How much exactly did you buy it and where?

venorite: Where did you buy yours and how much?

I bought it on Amazon, for a sweet £142 (with delivery)

Okay, its a cheap phone, and so what?

It certainly looks expensive to me, and its soooo sleek, I just feel like stroking it all night long. Definitely does not look the price. I am yet to turn it on, because my sim can't fit into it, so I have to request for the micro sim

I have been fussing about this phone even before it arrived, having watched and read fantastic reviews about it. Besides, you can't go wrong, considering the price of the phone. With a 'less than N40,000' phone, you can't help but love this phone. Its a good decision, besides it will be my first android phone ... Yeah, I dont care what you think about that , what's important is that I have finally seen the light.

So, fellow moto g users, come in here, lets discuss our cheap, but powerful phone

Yaay!!!!... patience is truly a virtue! I made an informed decision to wait a little bit for a budget phone that can do just almost as much as those two expensive bullies up there, and my motorola moto g has just arrived.

The phone looks really sleek and nice. It actually looks expensive too , but the best part of all of this is that I saved myself at least a whooping £250 pounds by going for this phone. Downside is that it requires a micro sim, which means that I have to request a new sim tomorrow, thereby increasing my suspense... The phone looks bigger than it does in photos ... I am already loving it without even haven turned it on yet!

johnnobles: thanks my bro

Sister, I be woman o

vivacious vivi: Definitely my best evergreen song! Loved this song to pieces. I actually had an exercise book even at such a young age where i wrote down lyrics of songs! Kai, the young shall grow.
At Poster: thanks for all the Youtube links. You have brought back pleasant memories from my childhood.

My pleasure

Tinkybabe: This song!!!!!!!nostalgic
I loved this song...used to sing it like everyday though with the lyrics jumbled together
When our faith in Nigeria was still resolute.

then there's love me jeje,love me tender
I used to say love me jeje,love me tender (2ce)locosuna,I send I send my lover... enough nonsense in the name of singing the lyrics

Anyone know where to get this song ?

Caro yellow baby,Caro yellow sisi
Caro carry my money follow oyinbo....

Exactly!... it kinda strengthened our faith in Nigeria. You know, one of those songs that makes you love your country. I always used to listen to it every day.

igbsam: who remember one lady like that....I think she's nicknamed African Oyinbo.....tall and very fair in complexion. Can't remember her name, but i can picture her face very well.

Yeah, Chucky's right, Its Tina Onwudiwe

The funny thing is that all the good music of those years dont even have many views on youtube. Did we forget so soon about the past? I get sooo surprised when i watch videos like Sunny Okosuns, Onyeka Onwenu and the likes of them on this thread, having just 18,000 views, and some 3,120 views. What happened along the line?... We let the western acts and music over-shadow ours maybe

It would be so nice to attend a party with only oldies music playing... How I wish!

johnnobles: e b like say na dey forget chis okotie. there is this particullar track of his "carolina" oh how i love that song. can someone post the video pleeese. is gonna those days meen. the days of record player. if you no get am that time u no dey happen. we get record players like bob marley, felix liberty, charley boy, chris okotie, sunny ade, owennu, xty essien, etc. good, meaningful and cool music. how which tuface and some presnt day good acts can just remix it to bring back the old feelings

I could'nt find the video...but here's the song though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr3dVRg6HE0

Chris Okotie was really good... the song was just classic! He sounds like Phil Collins here

chucky234: No one seem to remember Dr. Alban, the cousin of Charly Boy.

Dr. Alban has not gone unnoticed... I think he's somewhere on the first page. I remember his 'halleluyah day'... lovely song!

tope3x: this is the best music thread so far

I was so in love with this song, that I was actually 'looking up' to the daughter. She was my role model... only in the video sha. Just watching it again makes me wanna cry


@ Ishilove, lol at 'Oshuka'.

But come to think of it, when I used to watch all those music videos of those days, I had a child-hood crush on many of the musicians. Lmao...
