Same over here, my BB tour battery drains even if its switched off. I pull the battery before going to bed.

Complicated OS.

@Op, how does this affect the price of garri in the market

That definitely looks like a Blackberry keyboard,
If I had an iphone I would have gotten that keyboard before RIM wins that case.

opinchinoo: but dat dead symbian can multitask beta dan ur android

Can a symbian phone run an app of 1.5GB size? I guess no, so stop comparing android's mutitasking to that of symbian. Android OS is RAM and CPU hungry! That's why even the tecno droids people look down on feature at least about 800MHZ of processing power.
You should confirm facts before making claims...

[quote author=C.policy]Chei dis go make bbm useless pass 2go[/quote]Exactly.

[quote author=deejay_harry1]no matter how droidfied tecno will be, it can never beat the bb 10series, not nokia lumia... tecno simply is a low budget smartphone... get that in... and stop these Comparisons people... please..[/quote]I see, your hatred for tecno phones has not abated, little wonder, you choose a Samsung with a whack screen, lower processor et al over and above a tecno P5 that offers a better screen/display, better processor and so on at the-same price(in a thread).
If you love Lumias so much why didn't you pick it in lieu of your gionee E3

Nokialumia720: My lumia 720 gives me all i desired in a smartphone, great camera both day time and in low light. My battery can last for 2 days when used on 3g. Good and usefull apps are all available for free in window phone store. Here map is excellent even better than google map. I can stream any music of my choice offline without data connection. The video quaily is excellent. I can watch any nigeria movie via irokotv for free. Plus many other things i do with my lumia 720. Then why should i use a china phone called tecno?

dude, you are obviously a learner. There is a world of difference between ordinary tecno phones and a tecno-droid, + windows-phone OS does not have half the number of apps android has; so get rid of your stereotypes and think clearly. Learner!

abrahym: gionee gpad G2 beat this phone hands down for 31k

Except for OTA updates (which am not sure of), phantom A3 is a better phone/phablet
Phantom A3 vs Gionee gpad g2
Processor: 1.5ghz vs 1.2
Screen: 6" vs 5.3"
Screen resolution/PPI: 720*1280/245 vs 540*960/208
Primary camera/secondary camera: 13MP/8MP vs 8MP/2MP
And so on... So, A3 is a better phablet (both are phablets)

dolpaz: Thanks guy..can I take it back to techno carlcare for repair?
Will dey ask for receipt or they can detect the warranty with a software and work on it..I bought it frm someone and I could not get d receipt.
Or is it advisable to take it to an engineer?
The fone has never been touched/opened.
Suggestions please
Thanks !

Your IMEI number should do, I don't think they need the receipt + remember that if you take it to an engineer, your warranty is voided! On the other hand it might take tecno forever to fix it but I'll advice you take it to cal-care first.

No offense, but, too many unnecessary threads on nairaland. You could have googled the phone and gotten some good comparisons or asked in a BB10 thread considering its more of a Z10 with a bigger screen, processing-power etc.

First of all, I don't think seun is responsible for what makes front-page in the phones section "or any other"

Secondly, most (if not all new topics) are given a chance to be on front-page even if its for a few hours.

Thirdly the most general topics/threads are left most of the times on front-page because anyone could easily have his/her problems solved by the gurus in the threads. Anyway, its not necessarily perfect, am just trying to explain to 'the best of my knowledge' why things are that way.

physise: opsson never ready at all lol see d pixel per inch 128

get ready for super large icons

The display would definitely look like those on Chinese Samsung galaxy phones/tabs sold by the road side.

Hayormeah: tnks,buh am nt sure of wot fone to buy and skul is resuming soon.

Narrow down your choices e.g by:
Budget
Screen size (4.5" or higher?)
OTA support or not(if not tecno will do)
Are you a brand loyalist or elitist?(Some say if no be Sammy e no fit be smartphone)
Custom ROM support?(If you like customizations, then gionee to an extent will be better than a Phantom A+)
And always remember that: android is data hungry(no BIS for you O!)

Impulse80: if you want an upgradeable phone u'll have to go for a UK used device. These are my suggestions: galaxy grand, galaxy s2, Htc one x, galaxy nexus, Htc one s, i'm most sure of the galaxy nexus because that's what i'm using now and it came with 4.3 jb but i'm running on 4.4.2 kit kat. Check the above phones on Google and Make your choice .

@haryomeah (op) this the best suggestion for your budget considering you want a phone with OTA; if you want a brand new phone with OTA, you will have to improve on your budget.

Powertheft: SOME OF U GUYS DNT LIKE TESTING STUFFS B4 U POST TRASH.... WAS GONA POST MY MTN 150GB TRICK BUT I QUITE...

Guy, keep it to yourself. Even if it were true, I wouldn't want to make MTN go bankrupt.
My friend was once-given 1GB of data for free, that's probably what MTN gave to you which you are mistaking for your effort.
And I guess your moniker says a lot about you.

Kingdre: those it shows what we are listening to
just like real bbm?

I don't think so, cause everything in blackberry is linked and integrated with BBM. Android does not work that way.

@Op I think you are wrong, tecno N3 was not tecno's first droid, T1 is. Just google tecno T1 to confirm
phantom A+ has a quad core Processor not "dual core".

I might as well be a prophet, cause, most of this things happen on a yearly basis. Apple, samsung and co will always release new products.
And for those calling him a "prophet of doom" the biblical prophets were technically prophets of doom in many respects.
Until this men pin down specific details of the events they said will take place, I cannot call it a prophecy

Conspiracy theorist would love the third magic (as you call it)...

Feraz: So if I understand you guys very well, Lumias lack in apps? (is that the only downside?)

What kinda limitations? Asking cos I need a first hand experience from Lumia users.

Well one limitation I know of is: that you can't download a file of over 50MB without WIFI, maybe you can handle that.

JustGuy: Personally, Windows are my favourite! It's an OS for the matured mine! You can do lots of really cool and matured things; but if you're looking for a play-tool, easy-to-play-with-device, and the likes, go for an Android!
But I think Windows of HTC, AT&T, Sony and the likes are better than Lumia (haven't used a Lumia before though). Cheers!

Guy, so for your mind android is a "play-tool, easy-to-play-with-device"
Well, I think what you are talking about is "windows mobile" (win 6.5 downwards which is not nearly android gingerbread's equal) not "windows phone" (win 7 up to . I have used a windows mobile device (HTC touch pro 2 precisely) so I know what am talking about.

physise: 320 x 480 pixels, 4.5 inches

with a meager PPI density of 128 pixels per inch!

michu: Gionee e3

Guy, he said his budget-range is from 15-16K and you still mentioned E3, na wa for you o, abi e cheap like that for your shop?
@Op maybe tecno P5 would fit your budget and minimum specs requirement.. Goodluck!

dolpaz: Hello guys, please i need your help..
I just got a techno phantom a+ from a guy..everything is working well except for the fact that when a caller calls in, they cant hear me but i can hear them clearly..also, i tried using the recorder option but it was not recording anything.
Pls what could be wrong with the fone..
Any help/advise will be appreciated..
you can holla me on 08038048945 or 08029441693
Thanks !

Most probably your phones mouthpiece/microphone.

Uchiha Itachi: Windows phone can only be updated with WiFi, there's no going around it.

OP... just use WiFi or forget about the update

Fact!

Waspy: It would have made much sense if the OS is upgradeable/updateable, just like iOS

And who told you its not upgrade-able/updatable? Well, I guess you use a tecno.

brightnelly: Am a bit confused here. Please brother, what is blue film?

Blue-film is Pornogr*phy... @MODs, just putting someone through o, make una no come ban me o

[quote author=sкчscrαρεr™]You mean the same phone/tablet that has blue film on it?[/quote]well, if you keep porn on your Tab, I think one of your purpose of going to church is defeated...

ibullem: U got really interesting points here.

I learnt Obama uses a blackberry recommended by NSA as the most secured.

But in view of all these Snooping by MI6, NSA & the likes, security is more of an illusion now.

Yea, they probably only need to get the encryption keys from RIM(Read up somewhere on the net that some Arab countries partially have the keys)I guess its a necessary evil to curb terrorism

johnnyman: But after the appointed time for the subscription, would it espire and i will need to load another one, or it is unlimited, no subscription again just like MTN MAGIC SIM?

Bro, na awuff go kill you. Its a business and they expect to make profits and pay staff why would you want such?
