Cheers.

My Insider at Samsung Nigeria just confirmed to me a few minutes over the phone that the Note 3 will launch at 115K in Nigeria.
And the Smart Gear will cost 50K. Cheers!

BBM for Android and iPhone features:
BBM Chat – Enjoy real, immediate conversations with friends on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones. Not only does BBM let you know that your message has been delivered and read, it also shows you that your friend is responding to the message.

More than chat – With BBM you can share files on your phone such as photos and voice notes, all in an instant.

Keep your group in the loop – Multi-person chats are a great way to invite contacts to chat together. BBM Groups lets you invite up to 30 friends to chat together, and go a step further than multi-chat by sharing photos and schedules. And, with Broadcast Message, you can send a message out to all your BBM contacts at once.

Post Updates and stay in the know – BBM lets you post a personal message, profile picture and your current status, and lets your contacts know instantly in Updates.

Your unique PIN – Every BBM user has a unique PIN that maintains your privacy, so you don’t have to give out your phone number or email address to a new or casual contact.

BBM gives you a private social network for active, real conversations and it has more than 60 million customers on BlackBerry alone. The overwhelming majority use BBM an average of 90 minutes per day. BBM customers collectively send and receive more than 10 billion messages each day, nearly twice as many messages per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps. Messages on BBM are typically read within seconds, reflecting how truly engaged BBM customers are.

It’s immediate. BBM is always on so you are always connected. And because messages on BBM are typically delivered and read within seconds, it’s the closest thing to a live conversation.

You trust it. BBM always tells you that messages are delivered and read. BBM conversations come alive on a private network you can count on.

You control it. BBM allows you to choose your contacts and how you share your information. BBM uses a PIN so you don’t have to give anyone your phone number or email address.

Deblow: Whaaoooo! Samsung finally rolled out the much - awaited software update on S4 that has the "move to sd card" feature! About 380MB size. I guess it also fixes the heat issue. I can now conveniently root my s4!

Lol, which cave have you been hibernating in? I have had this update since maybe 1 or 2 months now. Life is too short to wait for OTA updates.

faithclin: Na wah o... Been trying to root back, no way. What kind of yeye samsung security rubbish is this... Please any help?? Before I commit homicide (samsung 19300...4.3) I'll appreciate.

runzlord: if andriod was not open, i would nt had been were it is today

Because you are not!

NaijaHotGuy: I just dey observe una ... with my new samsung galaxy note 2

Nobody asked you.

U should be able to detect Jealousy when you see it!

faithclin: Ehen I'm here again.

Stanley o I want to change this my rom and wanted a 4.3 custom for my S3.any sugge stions. Apart from Cyaanogen... Hate that Rom with a passion.

Lol. Y u hate CM? Anywho! Try PACMAN ROM, Rootbox, Ressurection Remix, Slim ROM or SuperNexus.
But I'm not up to date on S3 ROMs tho... but these ones are good AFAIK.

OYIBN: The person that did the write-up on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Tecno Phantom A2 is just being mischievious. In any country we have different classes of people - low-, middle- and high- income earners. Although I fall between middle and high- income earner, I will not spend over N100,000 to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 cell phone. So Tecno Phantom A2 and Blackberry phones (have a Bold 4) are ok for me. As one of us in this forum noted, you ought to buy a phone according to what you want. If 1G RAM is ok for me, why must I go for Samsung Galaxy that has 3G RAM. Tecno has not informed us that that they produced Phantom A2 to compete with Galaxy Note 3. Rather they have produced a phone for those that can't afford or don't desire to have an expensive Samsung Note 3. Soup wey sweet well well, cost money. Tecno's specs are much lower than Samsung's so it is logical that it would be cheaper.If you can't afford to watch DSTV because of the cost, go for Startimes or other cheaper cable providers. The bottomline is what you can afford. You can't compare DSTV programming with what Startimes offer. Just trying to give an analogy. I rest my case.

What is your definition of middle to High income earner? Lol. I really want to know. Because I'm a student that earns 0 naira a year and I bought the S4 for 108K before it was even released in Nigeria.

And btw, I don cook better Egusi soup with only 1K Before! Correct wan! If u chop am, u no go wan go ur house again.

[quote author=Mide_gee]Well done guys, js joined d android family after getting a s3.guys wat m i suppose 2 do cz m entirely new to android stuff.really sorry if my questions sounds a bit foolish[/quote]What you are supposed to do? With what? ur phone?
How about...
Charge it when the battery is low
Recharge when ur credit is low
Clean it if is dusty, and
Keep out of reach of children!



Btw you didn't ask any question!

Promhize: Samsung has even dropped the plastic body, now uses well textured leather in the new galaxy note 3.
The thing he doesn't know is that u wud get used to it in no time and even forget its plastic.

Actually, Note 3 is still made of the famous Polycarbonate. Just the back dat is 'leather'. Btw, Samsung are smart. the material they use make the phone lighter, and more affordable and resulting to good numbers after sales.

chucky234: Says who oga,I'll choose HTC One or Xperia Z over S4 with its plastic shell any day.

You have just proven to the world dat you are a noob. XZ over S4. Lol. u need deliverance! And it's Polycarbonate mate!

Actually, this is called Sudden Death Syndrome.

And unless you have a ROM (stock or custom), Kernel (stock or custom) and Recovery (stock or custom) with Samsung Update 7 fix, you are not 'safe'.

My advice is update your phone to the newest firmware, or flash the latest custom ROMs/kernels. Cheers!

fckyourman: What a rip off on apple uk website £550 and US without contract is $650. It should be around £430 in the UK.

£550 = 140k
$650= 108k

32k difference is to much abeg.

Lol. UK is usually more expensive

iPhone 5Shit and iPhone 5Crap

Fingerprint scanner, found in Atrix 4G in 2011, and suddenly Apple announces it as a brand new feature
Same boring iOS
A7 processor! When ur mates are using 1.6GHz A15 (Galaxy S4), Snapdragon 600 (HTC One), 1.9GHz A15 (Note 3 N9000), Snapdragon 800 (Note 3 N9005).
And they are here saying Innovative technology, blah blah!

Apple died with Steve Jobs, It was pretty much dead then self.

[quote author=tj_sadiq]Thanks 4 d quick reply,needed 2 make decision 2day.[/quote]Cheers!

[quote author=tj_sadiq]@room, any one have an idea aw much I can fix an S3 screen(d outter one). And is it worth buying a cracked screen fone to repair(price is sensible).[/quote]Don't buy problem. Stay clear.

[quote author=O.michael.O]hehehe... Yes boss


Am kinda happy I fixed an S2 with network ish cause the EFS was messed up and that was a similar case my brother had..

[/quote]Lol! Good to know! Did u have backup?

Randerl: Kindly post one relating to Tecno Android Smart Devices

Please am begging U.

Let me guess, you use Techno?

Randerl: even though it never happened as posted by u, l will assume so açcording to ur post.

Don't dodge the quality concern have raised about ur standard Galaxy series, such as these.

The only thing you have been doing since morning is posting these 3 pictures... Illiteracy + SufferHead =

Randerl: Finally, you are Acknowledging That Samsung Galaxy Series are not safe to use being liable to cause disasters unlike Tecno Phantom, LG Optimus, htc One, Sony Xperia and Nokia Lumia series.

please avoid even the upcoming note 3. Ur family still want u alive.

See his signature! He is Ijebu!

Randerl: Say that again. Hw is more better when it is fearful to use the device in full capacity thereby resulting in destroying ones livelihood. Think strait bro.

I'm sure you are from Ibadan! Dafuq are you saying?!

Randerl: K. Like the HONG KONG Galaxy S4 Disaster. lol

You are good audience, the press love people like you that eat up anything they write... However, when u buy original S4 and fit in a fake battery, It is as good as a bomb, why not! All phones dat were reported to have 'exploded' were found to be fitted with a fake battery after investigations by Sammy.

Dat said, MY PEOPLE! E no better say make S4 explode kill you than make yeye cheap Techno kill you?!
