Wow, seems like fandroids have invaded nairaland.Never thought i'd see the day.

This Liyel Imoke is a confirmed mugu. I just don't understand why such a dullard was brought in to rule this state. In all his years in power, he hasn't achieved one meaningful thing. The guy doesn't even know how to properly steal. For F*&^ sake.

best of v50.

v50 @ your service.

Updated mine to v40 last nite using zain lite - 17mb +. All i've got to say is that this is the best update ever (i started on v10. so ive been through them all from january last year).Played with a friends 5530 a few weeks back and i was so jealous of kinetic scrolling and better homescreen but luckily nokia have rewarded my faith in this phone.
Major improvements (for me)
New homescreen
Kinetic scrolling
Improved touchscreen responsivity
Slightly better battery life

Issues
NO KINETIC SCROLLING IN MAIN MENU(this is major as it provides a very inconsistent structure.Due to this at times i forget i've got kinetic scrolling)
Locking screen with code results in a half locked screen(homescreen elements are viewable on the bottom half on the screen but is locked)
Screen randomly looses all responsiveness (easily fixed by locking and unlocking the screen)
Music player is not always running(for an xpressmusic this is unacceptable when my ancient 5300 had it and with the new homescreen the music player widget exits, leaving a blank space which is not aesthetically pleasing.On the 5530 and n97 music player widget never exits)
No calendar and search on homescreen

This issues lead me to beleve that soon a new firmware(possibly v41 will be released which will at least fix some of this issues kinda like the stability update from v30 to v31).
Notwithstanding, i feel as though i've gotten a new device so i urge u all to update as soon as possible

Instead of getting the outdated n96, Y not chill for this

BTW anyone know how much starcomms charge for like PAYG browsing? Thanks.

Seriously, starcomms is cool. Mine says EVDO Rev. O which tops out @ 2.4 Mbps which will give you download rates of ~300KB/s. For the fact that i cross 200KB/s means its ok. Plus i also do other things in the meantime. One thing about starcomms is that is seems to have a lot of overhead bandwith enabling u to do several things at good rates but not one thing @ exceptional rates. I expect that by the time they upgrade to Rev.A (3.2 Mbps) we'll see speeds of ~300KB/s. Main advantage of Rev.A over Rev.O lies in the upload speeds not even downloads. I think they are trying.

phizz:
N.B.S.T.O
LWKMD

I don't get your txtspk. Care to clarify wat N.B.S.T.O LWKMD means?

On another note just got my starcomms yesterday and what i get from their recent adverts, it seems like the izap service was just extended to calabar and ibadan. Luckily, i'm a recipient of this extension. No time to post screenshots or anything but i can run about 7 downloads all going @ about 30KB/s.

The guy who supplied it to me said starcomms where receiving complains about their upload speeds being low, so they throttled back the downloads and increased the uploads. Anyways don't care as long as they don't drop below this.

Trust i've used IDM 4 a long time and i agree it has impressive speeds, other factors discourage me from using it not raw speed alone. Plus registration issues also kept me @ bay. Prefer sumting dats free and has no hassles. Look who dey talk about awoof.

Yep, seconded for orbit here. Nice clean lookin' interface and easy to use + u can grab online multimedia with it, all this free, no hacks cracks or whatever. Second is free download manager like orbit but supports torrents and all.

Chrome os seems mostly cloud-based, ok 4 advanced nations but in developing nations,no.
Doubt the media powerhouse that is apple will release software for it,instantly alienating millions of iphone/ipod users.
Linux has been here 4 a long time and it hasn't hurt microsoft so what changes?Granted backed by a big name,chrome os might go a long way but probably only on netbooks. I doubt i'll do video encoding or renders on it.
Did i mention games?Even if ur not a gamer,u have to agree thats one trump card microsoft has that isnt going away soon.
But, its not all bad chrome os will definately have speed and stability going for it,some people crave that.I doubt personally i'll dump ubuntu for it.Not with free shipit cd's.

I've used p2p 4 a long time now, started out with kazaa(fasttrack network) and it was great as long as u knew how 2 search properly.Fastforward and kazaa is dead,so now i've got limewire,piolet,ares and utorrent(free download manager also gets torrents and imo is faster).While they slow the connection,i dont leave them on always especially limewire.On ubuntu, ive got transmission and frostwire.

I think i'll skimp over 9.04 and go straight to 9.10 after all, 9.04 is not a long term support release. Anyways, did u test out the new file system? i read somewhere that it's buggy.
Used to have a problem with 7.10 whereby space disappeared from the drive( possible due to too much apt-get) but it was fixed by 8.10 which btw is great.I noticed that the startup time is dependent on the no of applications you've installed(its speed is comparrable to xp). I recently installed compiz-fusion and now i drop jaws. Trust me no other os has anything thats even close. Wish i could post a screenshot now(guess i'll do that later) bt i'm on a dual/triple boot config and 7 has got me piqued for the time being.
I primarily use ubuntu for aircrack-ng, it's a must-have if your wireless driver is up for the task. Ciao.

For ur viewing pleasure, search online for the tool to remove the 'Windows 7 Build 7100' watermark. I got it from Keznews.com, where they have all the latest windows news.

Yo dude, what internet connection r u using?It's blazing fast.

Got d rc during the 2 weeks strike and wen i came bak 2 cali, evry1 was all over it.I've always bin skeptical of vista but 7 is da shizyle.It runs as fast as xp on my 3yr old dell inspiron 6400 plus all d programs i threw at it installd flawlessly.U cant go wrong wit it.

Dudes,thx 4 d replies.I'll defo b gettin starc but i'll chill small and monitor d situation.By d way, does any1 know how to bypass d yf 1hr restriction?Pisses me off big time,cant even update antivirus wit it(gprs/edge).Heard of a voucher hack/bypass but notin concrete.Pretty please,

Pls, does any1 have any info on calabar.I'm dying here.Thinking of getting starcomms but d horror tales here are scarin me.If mtn had 3g here then there'd be an alternative but they fluctuate btw edge and gprs.Is there really evdo in calabar or are dose pussies in their office trying 2 rip me off?

Somehow mine always seems properly pre-configured and immediately after installation al i need do is set it up to my taste nd voila browsing unltd. But i have 1 serious issue - i cant download wit it. I know that it is possible but no matter how i try it doesnt go.
Once by fluke i was able to download wit the wap browser but since then ive tried every trick but nada it wont go. Anyone have a fix. I'm using an N80 on MTN.

I recently bought a green ipod nano 4gb. ANd since then i have been delivered. There are thousands of fake ipods out there all wit the apple logo. MOst are just mp4 players made in china.

Interestingly u said it had a camera which trully indicates its a fake. BEWARE.
