bacca2: Jonathanians are very dumb my guy, they ascribe tribe to every opposition figure including their own siblings. By 2015, we shall grant their wish by kicking the President out. He can be elected President of TAN

I still laugh at those who think Jonathan will not be re-elected. who do you have in mind to replace him or act as a formidable candidate? stop dreaming. that you and people like you around you don't like him doesn't change and a bout fact on ground. Plus we all know opposition in Nigeria is very tribal and sometimes deeply rooted in ethnicity.

Wake me up when it can work on a smartphone

CBNIM: Please house, how do I share my glo data on my q5 with my pc, using the hot-spot? When I put it, it shows on my phone connected, but can't browse in my pc n it shows also on the pc not connected-but that network is available! When I click on connect on the pc, it asked me to enter the network security key, and I don't know what that is.

Please somebody should put me through on how this hot-spot stuff works oo!

You create your hot-spot with an 8 character password which you are required to enter upon connecting a device.

nurez305: bro i try connecting the bbm video, but the respond am getting is ''bbm video connecting. Pls wait and try again'' pls why is it like that?

Hope you have a strong 3G or H connection cOz it won't work on Edge. But I've never encountered such a response before.

Anomnity: Please how do you successfully install java apps like opera mini.jar,ucbrowser.jar etc in your Blackberry 10 phones.I have a lot of java apps I value much and I can't install them on my Blackberry Q5.

I checked the Q5 specs and it supports Java MIDP 2.1 as against MIDP 2.0 which my apps are based.But I expected that MIDP 2.0 apps should also instal in MIDP 2.1 devices.Please kindly assist if you are conversant with these stuffs.Thanks in advance.

Dude, just download 1mobile appstore from 1mobile.com and you'll be able to download android UCbrowser, Opera mini and the rest. what do you need .jar apps for?

nnenneigbo: Just preordered iphone6, now can go back to bed

You should have preordered an iPhone 6+ for me but am still good with my Z10

nurez305: alright, thanks for the response....can that video call be make to another smartphone or it is only bb10 we can call?

BlackBerry 10 to BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry 10 to an online android, iOS and windows phone user. or a BlackBerry OS7 phone with an up to date BBM and active Wifi connection

nurez305: bros, pls can these be achieve on glo comonth subscription, i mean making of video and audio call with ur bbm on glo 3gig subscription?

Making of audio and video calls on glo comonth is charged from your 3gig, its not unlimited. I've used it on comonth and MTN bb10 midi. only BlackBerry 10 plans offer unlimited BBM for the duration of your sub.

scarr: that's how MTN bb10 plan rolls. Even after u exhaust ur data ull still be able to use all features of BBM

I guess thats one of the reasons why we can't have a higher data allocation on BlackBerry 10 plans. imagine how much data would been burnt on a 20 minutes BBM Video call. little wonder a guy on Crackberry said his skype was laying idle.

You sound like an iSheep

nnenneigbo: Be happy with ur android and leave iphone users alone. We don't give a hoot what u guys think and u'll never convince us to buy ur laggy, supposed power useless cheap plastic phones so give up already.

One day before I can preorder my shinny new iphone 6

Different strokes for different folks. Don't beat yourself

The one thing that excited me when I discovered my 500MB data allocation for my MTN BB10 MIDI had been exhausted was that I could make BBM calls (both video And audio) even without airtime or data for the duration of my BIS. damn, would have been worth it if most of my contacts were on BBM and had BBM Call capable phones with sufficient data.

Yes I will, when I see a bank alert of a deposit from you. Yes I will, when I see a bank alert of a deposit from you.

killzone: have seen one running the galaxy android OS 4.3 it has most of the smart features.You knw that the Z10 10.2 0S has android 4.3 source code running thru it to enable it run android OS.

Saw some on the streets of Makurdi today on display for sale, can only imagine how many people that have fallen for it.

killzone: yes there are Z10 running android 4.3 OS

Z10 runs on BlackBerry OS10-10.3.**** if it runs 4.3 whatever, its a Chinese clone with similar looks but different internal hardware and software! although it is able to run most android apps, an original Z10 is not a DROID, only an QNX based OS10 with android runtime on it (like running a Java emulator on a Windows PC)

domack99: Can BB10 run solely on Android OS?

Dude, that should be a loud no.......... Android on BlackBerry 10 is more or less like running a Java emulator on a Windows PC.

sholad11: But glo is very fast too & it's 1k for 3Gig

My download speed on MTN (tested using speed tester) was 2.41 MB/s while on Glo it was 0.27 both on 3g. my max Glo download speed is not even up to the average on MTN. So here in Makurdi where I am, Glo is as good as a snail.

ElekeNtioba: how do u qualify meaningful?? Is it only by what u like to hear??. Palin is a former governor and ex-running mate for presidency; so unless u feel Americans are dumb, am not sure how else u imagined she attained such height. She hasnt said anytin worse than some politicans in d US including Romney on dis list. Maybe because she's a woman dat khalessi consider her vile.

while I wouldn't describe her as vile, she sure demonstrated the height of ignorance when she shocked the world with the thought that Africa is a single country! even my African American friend described her as being too dumb to run a country like the U.S. side from that, she's a nice woman.

tziz: FYI i hav an android n probably started using bb bfor u tot of buying one, Prisoner!

dude, you a serious attitude problem. you come here forming like everyone else were fools, how many people have you seen acting the way you do on the thread? Different strokes for different folks, if you don't like BlackBerry 10 devices, go get what you want! not act like those who've been using it are dummies.

Simeony007: @vodacom oga abeg no beef Whatsapp abeg... this is just a business idea na, Whatsapp knew that those that are using phones without bbm are more, then he created an idea that could flood crowds to his site without going for a very expensive bb. imagine chatting with Nokia c2 with whatsapp compare with expensive bb even London use. Rim saw that the competition has increased then he decided to release bbm to other devices yet he can't still beat whatsapp. if u can't beat them why don't u join them... #teamwhatsapp

I use a BlackBerry Z10 and I can tell you authoritatively that BBM and whatsapp are not on the same level!!!!! with a BlackBerry 10 subscription, BBM is "unlimited" + I can make BBM voice and Video calls till my sub expires! and whatsapp does not have voice and Video call features in the first place! there are understandably more Camrys than Range Rovers.

tziz: dnt know wat y'all see in blackberry sha, its a rilly silly fon, imagine d Z3 I bot som days bck jst heats up while using it, even wen I put it on 2g, it still heats up n it affects my batt! den if I put it on 3G, I culd even iron a shirt wit it. dis is rilly stupid sha.
Btwn, pls cn som1 point me to where settings is on dis bbm.. I want to stop seeing wat music pple r listenin to n I dnt want pple to see mine too. Tnx. silly scrapberry!

for settings on BBM, swipe from top to bottom when BBM is open. Plus I use a Z10 and it's no scrap!!!!!!!!!! Saying that is like insulting the intelligence of other BlackBerry 10 users! there is something known as defective unit.

tziz: "If you're upgrading to your first BlackBerry 10 and money is an issue then the z3 is the best option for you"...when I went to get my Z3 two days ago from Slot, Z10 was cheaper.

CrackBerry also noted the unusually inflated price of the Z3 in Egypt, but also remarked that it was the most "affordable" of the BlackBerry 10 devices currently Available. Z3 is a newer model but would probably, ordinarily go for less-had the Z10 been a more successful venture.

nurez305: am not flashing my phone, just want to update to another os version...are you saying all my data are save without backup and also, is it advisable to use glo subscription for the update?

From my experience with upgrade of my Z10's software, I don't lose data after OTA update. + Glo subscription for the update should do just fine.

nurez305: pls at all, i need urgent reply b4 i proceed with what i want to do, i want to use my glo subscription to update my os on bb Q10 since there is no wifi network here to do that, pls my question is, is it safe to use glo subscription to update bb10 os and also since i dont have pc to back up my phone, pls what are the things am going to lose on my phone since i didnt back or if there is a way to back up my phone without pc, pls let me know....i wil appreciate ur response pls

from my experience, you won't lose your data like apps and games. But flashing the software from a laptop would probably result in data loss. Which is probably why they advice that you back up your data through BlackBerry Link.

henry007: this z3 is better than z10. coming from older bbs I'd say you would love z3 more but if you've been spoiled by the multitasking android you might tend to like z10 best although you would still have to compromise on screen size . that's the only major difference I see. one running 4 apps and the other 8 apps excellently.

at 1.5Ghz against the Z3s 1.2Ghz, the Z10 has a comparably faster processor, an HDMI output, a magnetic sensor which the Z3 doesn't have, 2GB RAM in the Z10 against the 1.5GB RAM on the Z3 (even when using my Z10 lightly just messaging on BBM or whatsapp, I still use up over 1GB of the RAM on my device). So the Z3 in my opinion is only for basic 'multitasking'. I think BlackBerry fans are over excited about having a BlackBerry device that has the screen of a galaxy range phone, the battery of a Nokia feature phone, all at an affordable rate.

dazz661: I just saw the z3, and I totally hate my z10

Aesthetics or performance?

stripper: Please u guys should help me out. This happened after i updated my bbm. Abeg i need solution

same thing happened to me after I downgraded my software. Try updating to the latest software for your BlackBerry 10 device

Kalvan: Why can't the soldiers express their grievances online?! Jonathan and his Gestapo government.

ask the U.S army and you'll understand

justi4jesu:
ok, hit the menu button and click on "show all" and your icons should show up, maybe your icons are in the folder you created, if they are in the folder then you'll have to move them out of the folder, hope this helps.

you misunderstood me. my icons on the menu are intact. am talking about the BB/BIS symbol that appears at the top of the screen right beside the E/H symbol and my BBM not working.

@walcolm and others, pls my blackberry symbol disappeared since yesterday and i've not been able to use bbm since then despite the fact that I have an active Glo Comonth sub. I've tried my etisalat line but still no BlackBerry symbol as it would normally do when there's an active sub or credit. only able to browse currently

penquin: pls which BB10 plan is the best...... ?
