ITbomb: I'm using E71 and N9 Pad.
I bought the Pad to completely take over from the Nokia but I found myself running back to it once in a while.
Reasons :
I could use free 15mb from Airtel or MTN for a week, multitasking between browsing (opera mini), chat (WhatsApp, 2go/facebook gateway), emails (my 6 email accounts are sync real-time so I don't miss a mail), open pdf and edit word documents, connect to company wifi, Nokia maps (which can be use offline without consuming mb unlike google maps on Android), wifi hotspot with Joiku, great audio, and most importantly long battery life even on 3g network.

True, my N9 can do all those except that I need to be recharging my battery more often and also subscribe to at least 1gig to enjoy what Nokia gave me on free 15mb per week.
And I still need my Nokia maps to navigate free.

Pls, can E71 open pdf and edit word documents? Thanks...

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

Idrismusty97: .My bro the plain truth is that the E71 is no longer a machine.It is using either Microsoft Os or symbia OS.Just go to your OVI store(nokia store) and manage any app you can download.It can't be compare to even an android phone with 2.3 ginger bread os

Hmmmmm: following...

Goshen360: Where does identity starts from - From YOU or from the people?

you to the people... But what matters is the knowledge of who you are which people are aware of....

Goshen360: It start from "who do PEOPLE say that I am" to "who do YOU say that I am" ? Christ never responded to who people said he was for some even called him what he wasn't.

It's who YOU say you are and what God in his word says you are that counts. You can only live out what you are, not what people say you are.

Don't be confused... Just as you said it above its only when "you live out what you are", that people will be able to know who you are and that is an opened identity. Before Christ asked His disciples "who do people say that I am?" He lived out His life for the people to know who He is....what people say about you counts a lot because it can make or mar you.

Goshen360: As if the Spirit ministered same to you and I. It doesn't matter what people say you\we are, it is what the word says we are and what we answer to. Some said he was Elijah but he wasn't. Some said he was John the Baptist but he wasn't. ...so we see and understand it's not what people say we are but what we say we are or what we answer to. Our identity flows from inside to outside.

when people don't know who you are they see you as not useful... because you have a hidden identity.

Do you know what the people around you say you are? Jesus Christ, gathered His disciples and asked them, " who do people say that I am?" ...the disciples said, they said you are this... or you are that.... have you ever find out what people say you are? If you don't know what the people around you say you are, you can not impact their life...

The 53 post-independence years of Nigeria's political history have witnessed a few catastrophic events that have threatened her very existence as a nation. But this country colonised by the British and forced together by Lord Lugard in his 1914 amalgamation which brought together two strange bedfellows under a marriage of convenience has always teetered on the edge of the precipice. Since the decade after independence in 1960 and many years after, the country has not had a moment of respite from elements in the union who have constantly threatened separation with devastating consequences. Since independence, Nigeria's stormy socio-political history has shown that perhaps it was a bad idea to have brought together disparate ethnic behemoths that have nothing in common. Little wonder that shortly after the British left, cracks that revealed the mistake of 1914 began to emerge. Even the action and utterances of political players from both sides of the divide have constantly reminded us that the union may not end a story book ''happy ever after'' fairytale. Nonetheless, Nigeria has survived 53 tragic years in a union sustained by the blood of citizens. The struggle for political dominance among the major ethnic groups in the first decade of independence culminated in the civil war. That bloody era in Nigeria's chequered history was perhaps the greatest threat to the country's unity. But more tragedies were to follow. Most of the threats that revealed the farce of Lugard have been the result of the struggle for power among the major ethnic groups and their political elites. But it is not only politicians that have pushed the country to the brink. The military, which ruled Nigeria for most of its post- independence years, has also caused tensions through its violent obsession with power. The coup and counter-coups were the catalysts in this deadly power game. The coups and subsequent power play among the military elite created widespread mistrusts and suspicion among the nation's ethnic groups. For example, the dominance by Northern military officers was the reason why their Southern counterparts have complained of political dominance by the North in recent years. The deep mistrust created by Northern dominance of political power during the military years led to the Gideon Orkar's bloody coup of 1990. The coup planned and executed by mostly minority officers almost put paid to the union. The coup sought to forcefully excise some parts of the North from the entire country. That coup heralded Niger Delta agitation for resource control which later turned violent many years after. The Orkar coup also revealed that the ghost of ethnic mistrust which nearly tore the country apart with the civil war had not been laid to rest after all. But the Ibrahim Babangida administration which was the target of the coup brutally suppressed it by executing many of its masterminds. However, the grievances were not addressed. Now the agitation for resource control which was at the heart of the violent coup is one of the reasons this union may soon hit the rock. Three years after the Orkar's coup, Babangida who had taken the country on a political merry go-round did the unimaginable. His annulment of the June 12 election won by the late business mogul, M.K.O. Abiola threw the country into turmoil. The violence and tension that followed threatened the country's unity. There were insinuations at the time that the North as represented by the military establishment wanted to perpetuate hegemony over the rest of the country. There were calls by Nigerians that the country should break up once and for all. Politicians also led the agitation for the country to split if the annulment was not reversed. Again, one could imagine a tragic replay of the events that led to the civil war. I personally witnessed Nigerians who pack their belongings and travel to their ethnic bases. Even when Babangida and his cabal pushed the country to the brink the country held on- albeit on a thin rope. The brutality and repression of the Abacha years and the scheming to make him a life president brought Nigeria to another political standstill. The country became a pariah nation. The cry to divide the nation grew louder. But still the country held on. Nigeria was saved from an imminent collapse by the sudden death of Gen. Sani Abacha. Several years after the military left, power struggle among the nation's major ethnic groups has heightened tensions in the country. The 2011 presidential election that produced the incumbent President again brought Nigeria to the edge. Now, the race for 2015 has yet again opened up the possibility of a split. There are serious reasons to believe that President Goodluck Jonathan may be Nigeria's last president. Those so-called nationalists who have expressed optimism that this country may yet pull through another violence engendered by power struggle do not appreciate the extent of the dynamics of power play that is at the heart of Nigeria's political trajectory. Ethnic mistrust has been amplified over the years by the country's political elite. It may reach a crescendo in 2015. Now, the die seems to have been cast. And this is not even about the rivalry between the opposition parties. This is about one zone's quest to reclaim power by all means necessary. It is also about the struggle to control the nation's oil resources. Even if the split does not happen in 2015, the year may be the beginning of an end. It is not conspiracy theory that the US-National Intelligence Council had predicted Nigeria's split. The fears are real. Now, President Jonathan is set to seek a re- election even though he has yet to publicly declare so. The North is enraged by this. That it has been out of power for this long is irritating enough for the zone's oligarchs. For them, it will be unthinkable that they may not have power in 2015 (or even beyond). Their agitation is already heating up the polity. Already, some of the zone's politicians have begun to sound the drumbeats of war. But in the Fourth Republic, other ethnic groups seem to have found a voice in collectively challenging the North's dominance of power since independence. That is why the minority groups of the Niger Delta has said Jonathan must continue beyond 2015. The Ijaw seem to have "wise-up" and cannot imagine the situation where another ethnic group will return to power and control ''their oil''. This will be a major divisive factor in 2015 and beyond. Personally, I see the struggle for resource control as a factor in Nigeria's probable collapse. Beyond the power struggle that may make Jonathan Nigeria's last president, the incumbent seems to have lost control of the country. Many have accused his presidency of deliberately whipping up ethnic mistrust. Add this to Boko Haram, insecurity, massive corruption, and uncontrolled oil theft and the picture of an imminent crack becomes visible... The Punch

Since the advent of GSM, there have been millions of xmas wishes/text circulating all over the world. Have you ever received one you deemed as the best so far?

Austeenx: [color=orange]Good question.

Church Of The Smiling Skeleton. That's my religion, COTSS.

Reasons why we don't celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December.

Reason 1: We don't believe in Christ, but we're Christians.

Reason 2: Our God, The Smiling Skeleton's play-day is on the 24th of December. Tell me how we're supposed to celebrate the play-day of our God, and still celebrate Christmas the next day.[/color]

ok

naijafresh: I concur, if it is not sinful music then it is sinful beliefs, false prophets and teachings but tell me what is new,
false teachings, beliefs and false prophets are as old as christianity itself.
Even in early times we could see conflict in the church, it is recorded in the bible to warn us
So be warned!

nice one!

Austeenx: [color=orange]Well, my religious doctrine does not permit me to celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December.[/color]

please can you share the reasons why your doctrine doesn't permit you... And which religious doctrine are you....?

Vivly: Like seriously, can't you recognize an example when you see one? That's just an instance not a life story. Anyways, since you have doubts about Christmas, I shouldn't be surprised.

really?
