@ Mobinga

Mobinga:

Nominee __ Texazzpete!

Whoever wins would get a token of 6k 1k

can i change my vote?

i nominate puskin. heheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I nominate aieromon

This is going to be interesting . Last minute horse-trading
This Engr Hamid just entered the permutation today. I hope people will not go and register new IDs to vote here

@ Mukina2,
NO, you can't change your vote as it has already being tabulated and counted. Have you ever seen someone retrieving the voting slip he has deposited into the ballot box to change his vote during an election? That would amount to corrupting the electoral process and is punishable by applicable laws

@ Pelumiv and texazzpete
Your nominations are perfectly valid and will be counted as you both haven't nominated anyone before.

Actually, your suspicions may not be unfounded. E be like se many peeps dey bring out their reserve ID's to nominate. A poster by the name e-herbal nominates engr hamid. . . notice the similarity? Is this just a mere coincidence? Anyhow sha, it's valid but mobinga's nomination is invalid cos he had nominated someone else before. As it stands at the time of this post, engr hamid has 1 nomination only

Jarus:

What is the punishment. Ban Mukina2 abi?

Wait and find out nah

, the guys nominated actually deserve it. Does'nt rilly matter who wins.

I nominate Dragnet

I nominate" Airoplane",guess the person know himself. :DLOL

We did not provide tie-breaker in our rules. Methink the Mod should reserve the right to pick. Or better still, bend the rule and put all 4 of them in poll. It's your discretion Mod.

If it eventually ends the way it is, I'll put up the four of them (aieromon, texazzpete, puskin and dragnet) in the poll and let the voters decide

Guys/Gals, Nomination has closed and the top four nominees (cos there was a tie) have been put up in a poll for you  to decide by votes the Phone Section Poster Of The Year 2010.

puskin - 3 Nominations

dragnet - 3 Nominations

The other six nominees got one vote each so didn't make the final cut. . . .

VOTING WILL CLOSE AT 11.59PM ON DECEMBER 29, 2010

BRIEF CITATION OF THE FINALISTS

AIEROMON: a highly respected, followed and sought after member of the phone section. .   He traverses the entire phone section and always has something important and reasonable to say on any/all (of the) topic/thread (s). He's particularly outspoken and vociferous on his hate for the blackberry and doesn't miss a chance to lambast  it and it's users as he believes there is nothing a BB can do that a good symbian phone can't do better. He's also an advocate of lower call tariffs and lower data bundle browsing plans.

He's been particularly active on the Only The Best For Your s60v3, Phone Engineers On Nairaland willing To Assist You, Nokia SU-33w tv Receiver Update threads and comments generally on other threads.

Famous quote - No way am I returning that BB. Don't get me wrong, I'll burn the crap instead (while commenting on a thread in which someone posted that it was unbelievable that a blackberry was lost, found and returned in Nigeria)

Interestingly, he was nominated for this same award last year but came last in the actual voting process. Will he prove the biblical saying that the last shall become the first true this year? Well, I'm also as curious as you are to find out. . . .


TEXAZZPETE: Arguably the most knowledgeable Nairalander on android, iphone and non-symbian OS phones on Nairaland. From the way he spits knowledge on issues of the above phone platforms, one would think he has a Ph.D or something in that field

He loves the iphone to death and will go to any length to defend it. He started the iPhones Killer Apps thread 2 years ago (April, 2008) and he has kept it running till today updating the thread with new apps and generally attending to problems of newbies on the thread. He's also quite active on the Android,Any One thread in which he's debated with na2day for 3 pages at a stretch early this month?  He's an exclusive poster and hardly ventures outside these two threads but he's very much in touch and conversant with new developments in the mobile telephony world as he's been the first on more than one occasion to post threads on new and emerging phones in the past.

Famous quote: When we were running N64 and Playstation emulators on our iPhones, Android lovers were still trying to run GBA and SNES titles on their G1s and Magics. Even now that the hardware battle is more even, most of the cool apps come to iOS first. And the iPhone is just as well covered on the indie and 'hacker' front. (while debating with na2day on which of the OS was better between iphone and android and which had more apps)

Does he have what it takes to emerge the Phone Section Poster Of The Year For 2010? We'll only know on the 30th, so keep it locked. . . .


DRAGNET - one of the Nairalanders who was brought to limelight by Jarus in his 10 Unsung Heroes  Of Nairaland thread early this year. He's been the live-wire and the mainstay of the Phone Engineers On Nairaland Willing To Assist You thread in which he's been posting consistently over the years and still active in. He also contributes generally to other threads in the section.  Here is what was written about him in the 10 Unsung Heroes  Of Nairaland thread.

Jarus:
Dragnet dwells in the phone section,  where he has anything meaningful to say about virtually everything. He has been rightly described as the NL's resident phone e-engineer. He has solved many phone issues for many people. He is not known outside this section, but he has made NL a destination for many phone users. For silently putting smiles on many people's faces, he is a NL hero, even if uncelebrated

Need I say more? Here is a quote from dragnet while hard at work in his e-workshop and rendering e-help, providing e-advice and e-solutions to people phone problems.

dragnet:
tainot, get a tech to flash your fone or do a fw upgrad if u can

abiolag, same applies 2u & when its done,get urself a gud antivirus & updat it daily

disclaimer: dragnet is not a GURU whatsoever! I do whatever I do in my own honest, simple but complicated way. I'm studying to be a TELECOMS ENGR. so dont call me an engineer just yet, for now I'm best known as a TECH. check a dico

Lest I forget, he's also fixed phones for many Nairalanders off Nairaland (in real-life) and those who have met him physically have nothing but good words to say

He contested this same award last year and finished runner-up losing narrowly to the eventual winner but WILL this be his Year or will it be a case of twice unlucky? 14 more days to knowing the answer to that question. . .so keep it locked on this thread 


PUSKIN - can be described as the most general commentator of the phone section. He traverses the entire board and comments on all the threads. His posts are always short, direct and straight to the point. He's fairly active on threads such as the Phone Engineers On Nairaland Willing To Assist You, Only The Best For Your s60v3, Unlock Your USB Modem Here etc and everly present on Blackberry and MTN Bashing threads. . .in fact, he coined the term Mobile Thieving Network for MTN. Like I said, he's a general commentator so his comments are pretty general and humour-laced

Memorable quotes:  . . . . . my MTN SIM will continue to remain in my fish tank till I see dat surprise  (while reacting to the thread MTN Is Coming Out With A Surprise Very Soon)

mMm??. . . if this chinko ipad fine like this. . . . . that means the actual ipad will be WOW!!! (while reacting to the thread - Chinese Ipad Running Windows 7)

^^. . . huh!!! . . .come, didn't U read the thread topic. . . .BB my yansh.  . . .  carry ya market go else where. (reacting to a Nairalander who posted a Blackberry sales advert on a thread not meant for BB and not missing the opportunity to bash the BB )

So does he have what it take to be the Phone Section Poster of the Year, 2010? Can't wait to find out just like you. . . , 


VOTING IS ON, SO PLEASE VOTE VIA THE POLLS ON TOP OF THIS THREAD. . . . .THANKS!
