The only good point/advantage i've seen so far for a Blackberry device in Nigeria over any other OS is the Unlimited Internet which some of the network offers.

Highbros: U can use a bb to send files easily and almost instantly. I use it to send pdf, doc, pictures, full project work, and even mp3 files!. Yesterday, a girl was listening to a song I've been looking for( I saw it from my own bb ), I told her to send it to me and she did through bbm. I'm in lagos and she is in porthercourt.

Brov this can be done with ''Whatsapp'' and even better cos it is not limited to just one platform unlike BBM. I received the whole Usher's latest album, ''Looking For Myself'' tracks in mp3 format via whatsapp, and it was sent to me via an Iphone, not just from portharcourt (as u quoted) but from another country.. so i won't really consider your point as a good reason for choosing BB over other platform.

hassymo5: so how does this affect the price of garri!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not the price of fuel..

YEZ BOZZ

Chei! WTF!! what was he thinking na Even if the thing goes exactly as he planned, then he bounces out, shout and say something like... HEY SUGAR! I DON SHOW!! I WAN SUPRISE U SO I PUT MYSELF INSIDE CAGE LIKE A GOAT COME GIVE YOU!!! Na wah o. How f*olish

@Timparker
Let me explain this resets to u further boss.

Soft Reset (*#7780#)
This will set all your settings to default (the original factory settings) without touching your file data & documents. Though your Call logs & Calendar events
are resetted

Hard Reset (*#7370#)
This will remove everything from your Mass Memory as well as your phone memory (Apart from the protected contents at hashcheck) thus removing all your personal data and set your phone to factory settings, though some app data are not totally deleted

3 Key Hard Reset
This will format and delete every single data stored on Phone memory C: without touching the contents of E: .. Please note that this will remove every single data that ever existed on C: i.e all personal + Nokia default apps & data are wiped clean.

Now to answer your question,

timpaker: So if I do the *#7780# Reset will I loose my data/documents?

Like i said above, only your calendar and call logs will be removed plus all the settings restored back to default. all other data remains the same (Contacts, files and documents etc) as this is the Restore short code (Soft Reset) and not ''Delete Data & Restore'' But i dont think this is a solution to your touchscreen freezing issue cos am sure it is caused by an app u installed.

This is what i advice;
Normally i will say Do a Hard Reset, then a 3 key Reset for a clean formated device, but if you can't go through the stress of having to download Store, All QT components etc one by one then just do the HARD RESET (*#7370#) but make sure u backup your data as said earlier
U should hav a perfect phone after this, but take time in monitoring each app u install after this to know which app freezes your touch UI

Also note that too many accelerated apps on your bootdata could freeze your device, u can install Netqin Antivirus, Tap SYS OPTIMISATION-BOOT ACCELERATION and uncheck which apps u don't use often to free up RAM & Processing space for your device to boot faster.
Best of luck Bro.

Thanks guys, am so grateful

@4LLERBUNTU. ll do as u exactly as you explained bro. u 3 much.

@WALCOM. I was thinking of upgrading to ICS but i read about some bugs concerning it, was having a fear of screwing something up as i still feel good with Gingerbread, moreover, i won't really wanna do something that might make my device stuck in boot screen.

....1 question. Can i downgrade back to an older version if eventually i upgraded to ICS but preferred Gingerbread?

[quote author=::Andrew::]Toyota now has honda engine with lincoln steering. [/quote]

I was just searching stuffs in my wardrobe when i bumped into one of my old-timer devices, just charged the battery and found it perfectly working and healthy so i considered it to be my oldest & still existing device. Nokia 1100, purchased in 2004 (8years ago, at my current time of posting)

What about yours? The phone make & Model, how old is it? (1, 2, 5 or 10yrs )
Snaphot isnt a must but it will be cool if included
Am dying to see an existing 3310 and those long antenna devices

[quote author=::gsmcoder::]The android phones are actually the easiest and most user friendly devices in existence.
Easy self repair and operation if you are not afraid.[/quote]Chei, u are getting it twisted o. No OS is difficult to use as long as u understand it. I never said Droid is difficult to operate. A manual tranmission vehicle could be so easy for someone who is perfect with it whereas it might be a lil' bit strange to someone who drives an Automatic tranmission.
I can close my eyes and do stuffs with a symbian whereas i might be lost on the UI if i do dat on Droid.

Take for example the original symbian s60 devices UI (Wont use the latest symbian OS as an example cos most of the UI was copied from other OS), it is quite simple for someone who uses a Java phone to catch up with while the uniqueness of android might turn a java phone user to a complete ''Dundi-united'' if u know what i mean.

I inserted my main sim from my previous phone into Galaxy S2 3days ago and forgot to monitor how much it consumes data, Just woke up and it occured to me so i checked. What i got was not so pleasing at all

Please what is the best way to track my data usage? I downloaded and installed ''3G Watchdog'' but it wasnt really what i wanted. I need an app that shows how each internet connected apps consumes data so i could sort out which one has been seriously sucking my data plan the most. Is there any app for this? Thanks much

4llerbuntu:

u? cmon its even easier to manage android than ur beloved symbian ish.

Says who Almost 2 weeks with S2 and i still feel like a newbie, still have to search the net everytime i couldnt get a function right whereas when i buy any symbian i throw away the user guide. Nothing is easy bros, except if u are fortunate to be good at it.

The boot failure issue i have been seeing lately concerning S2 has really been giving me some fear. though i haven't noticed any problem but i don't always feel comfortable whenever i switch on in the morning, not until it boots into standby

Jedisco: Hahahaha
Like I said before, you think you're the only one who has flashed a phone. All this stuff you posted is just like spam
Well let me address your issues.

When I say OTA, I mean doing the update with a phone. If you want to extend it to doing it with pc suite then thats your ish.

I see that the lack of updates on N8 has really got you confused.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY COMPARING OTA UPDATE WITH FLASHING?? With OTA all I do is check my sw update app for an update, or get a notification for the update. I download it while I do other things with my phone, if there is a connection problem, it stops. I can continue from thesame spot later (I stopped over 5 times with fp1). After this, the phone restarts and installs the update. THATS IT!!! All I have to do is make sure my battery is charged.
Another thing is that it NEVER exceeds 40MB. For fp1, it was just 21MB.
Now compare that to update via pc suite where the files are ridiculously large or WORSE STILL via phoenix where ending up with a bricked phone is quite easy. Its no brainer I don't use any

I have never seen anyone end up with a bricked phone after OTA from the phone. I can't count those I've seen with phoenix. I was almost a victim.


ALL YOU HAVE ABOUT TOTAL AND PARTIAL UPDATE IS UTTER TRASH. The update from Anna to Belle to Belle fp1 to fp2 is one and the same process. They are just names that come with new stuff.
Its either I choose to do it via the phone which adds the new stuff to whats there and so is smaller or I go through pc suite or Navifirm which downloads the whole firmware again. At the end, I end up with thesame thing.

Its funny that someone who hasn't used an OFW before will be talking about it. Well you just show ignorance. Next time get a current phone so you can flow with the trend


THE OFW FOR FP2 APPEARED ON NAVIFIRM YESTERDAY AND ITS OVER 450MB. THAT OF FP1 IS ABOUT 400MB. IF I DECIDE TO DO IT VIA THE PHONE (WHICH DOWNLOADS THE ADDITIONAL STUFF) IT SHOULD BE LESS THAN 40MB AND AT THE END, IT GIVES THESAME THING. SO LET ME ASK YOU ARE THESE TOTAL OR PARTIAL UPDATES?? ?? ??

YOU CAN START BY TELLING US ABOUT YOUR 'FULL' UPDATE TO ANNA AND BELLE (WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY PHANTOM) AND HOW THEY DIFFER.

BTW I never said the firmware is 800MB. I said it requires over 800MB of files. More like 1GB.

And like I said in the smaller sized CFWs, you need to add the remaining files from the OFW before you flash.

Can someone please come to this guy's aid. Where do i start your case from now
U neva used somthing, u felt u knew it all and u kept throwing #Gbagauns on the thread, i try to explain, u said my explanation was a long trash and wasn't needed, yet u still making the same error & u could boldly say someone is ignorant. Ok Am begging u. Listen again for God's sake, just take time and read me carefully

There have been 4 official released major updates for Symbian ^3 Devices, 2 of which is a full/complete updates which changes the whole device from the root. i.e changes to the whole version of the Symbian OS. This changes Affect the READ-ONLY-MEMORY (Z) folder which can't be accessed by any means except by a serviced tool Software. THIS MEANS YOU CAN NEVER UPGRADE TO THIS 2 FIRMWARE CHANGES WITHOUT THE USE OF "PC Suite updater driver or phoenix" otherwise the z: folder can never be accessible. Even if it shows on SW-UPDATE application on phone, u ll get the notification "PC IS REQUIRED".. This are Symbian ANNA & Nokia BELLE updates.

the last 2 update is BELLE FP1 & BELLE REFRESH
This is a partial update that are ported unto your current firmware version for improvement. it is registered in the device "Hash-Check" so it won't be removed or tampered with, even if u Hard Reset the phone. This can surely be done with the phone's built in SW UPDATE app (Unlike the first 2, Anna & Belle)so even if the update is just 20mb, u can always pause and resume, then Restart when it is done for changes to take effect

Now use your senses concerning "THE FIRST 2 UPDATES & FLASHING"
PC SUITE UPDATE & PHOENIX UPDATE
When both are ready for your upgrade, they automatically put the phone in TEST MODE (Flash mode) so the phone can stop using the Z folder for operation so as to modify the drive. The phone only boots up after a successful ROM (Z) Upgrade.

DIFFERENCES BTW PC SUITE & PHOENIX.
PC SUITE Detects your phone, Formats your Z: and starts downloading the Firmware for your ROM until it is done. U can be quite unfortunate with the network which will leads to disconnection from the server, and since you have an incomplete ROM, your phone no longer boots (BRICKED)

With Phoenix, just go on the net and download your firmware from NOKIA Server yourself (Via Navifirm or any means) then drag into phonenix and upgrade, which saves u the trouble of BRICKING, at least u have the firmware with you so no matter what happens, u can do it again.. and u can even modify this firmware to your own taste befor upgrade. don't forget if u brick via PC Suite, u ll come back to phoenix if your device ll ever boot up again.

Now tell me, MR GURU, which one wold u rather use?

Any Id*ot with a Nokia smartphone can Update a partial Update (Belle Fp1 and Belle REFRESH) which can be done via SW-UPDATE on the device itself. u own a 701 so automatically This is your first and only update u v ever gotten as of present, How will u know how a proper Upgrade is been done

If FP2 should be a "full ROM upgrade" then i will be waiting patiently for you to upgrade and make changes to your ROM via your device.. This shouldn't be an Argument, it will be released soon so we shall see, that is if its gonna be a major upgrade like that of ANNA& Belle and not a patch like FP1 & REFRESH. U feel me

That Reminds me, U asked me to tell u where to upgrade Nokia Belle FP1 for N8. Man this is so s*upid of u. it is like saying, TELL ME WHERE I CAN UPGRADE MY 701 WITH BELLE REFRESH AND I WILL DELETE MY ACCOUNT ON NAIRALAND. Does that makes sense Ode.


Wait Let me explain what u got on Navifirm to u. If u have a problem with your 701 booting up and the original FW on your device was BELLE. u cant boot with that no more cos u have upgraded once. the engineer will have to root you back to Scandinavia and then port u a fresh Belle FP1 from Navifirm. this is what the FW u just got was all about. Now tell me, Why will i download A whole FP1 Firmware when the Released patch for my current belle was 20MB and can be updated via the device? It is like saying. HEY, NOKIA JUST RELEASED BELLE REFRESH PATCH FOR MY CURRENT OS VERSION SO AM DOWNLOADING THE WHOLE FIRMWARE! How does that sound dude

U sound more like a Mor*on by saying i haven't used an OFW. I guess Nokia ported a CFW into my device when i bought it, or maybe i created my own modded version from your own OFW. How old are u bro

U have never seen anyone with a bricked phone via PC Suite cos u either ignorant or u just wanna make a statement here. This is more childish. Google is your friend, or flipped back pages of NOKIA BELLE IS HERE thread and see some.

Man u are not blind. Go back and read my post concerning the widgets, i ask u to provide me a screenshot of your Mail widget and small calendar widget, I never asked for your Ugly FM radio & Music player. not the ones u installed and changed the .mif background from resource. Am not stvpid. i have my reason for asking those ones. u either put those ones here or just stay mute.

YOur last statement about adding file from OFW was not funny, it was really annoying. U sound really sick. what is wrong with you what were the files u added when u used one as u claimed

Your accusations about me Lying, Posting fake test & fake pictures doesn't really bother me, i have known u for some time time now so its your normal behavior. Go back and check the pictures i posted and see how fake it was, maybe i was the one that manufactured both phones. this wouldn't be your first time making such accusations, u made it most times at our previous forum and the funniest one was the picture i took from an N8, u just refused to accept and claimed it was not true, not until u embarrassed yourself at the forum when others were busy testifying with their own shots. That really cracked me up till now, it simply means reading blogs aint enough to claim being good. u need to practice what u feel u know, otherwise u are just like an empty barrel, u know what they say about them right

I don't claim being good at anything bro. Trust me, i don't claim what i don't own either and i do my own thing for my own satisfaction without troubling no one. i just created an account in 2007 to follow topics here until i installed a new windows OS that cleared my cache and i lost my first NL Account password. Decided to make a new one wanted to Comment on "Nokia Belle Is Here" and ever since i have been pasting some time wasting long messages, just to talk about some phones i don't even use anymore. I guess i have had enough of arguments from u as far as Symbian is concerned cos its no more funny, but rather Childish.. Battery,Time Consuming and abusive.
I'm really sorry if anyone feels i contributed to derailing the topic by useless arguments. Originally i have answered the OP's question by giving him a detailed explanation about the 3 phones he asked. so i think am done Here!

@OP
I hope u have got your favorite out of your 3 choices. Cheers!

Buchika: temmy do i get one from Nokia suite or from navifirm, which one is the best.

Nokia Suite supports only one time Over-The-Air update i.e U can use that method get a particular firmware update just once, u might have to use Navifirm or google search to get your firmware. depending on the Belle version u are newly porting, u might have to downgrade to an older firmware version (The first s^3 FW) before u can port a fresh belle firmware to your device.

blink182: Please is there an equivalent site for galaxynote that is as organized as n8 fanclub? Please provide the link if you know. Thanks.

If i may ask, what version of OS are u running on your note? I have an S2 currently running Gingerbread (2.3.3/Rooted) and this is the the site i use for now. www.androidzoom.com/?mobsite=0

Jedisco: You can also 'return to factory settings' in the settings ment. If the problem still persists, then you should do a soft-reset by pressing *#7380# and press the call button.

It is *#7370#


@TIMPAKER

i think u pasted something relating to screen freezing issue at the previous page & i thought it got solved

timpaker: Just did the factory reset thing and surprisingly, the screen no longer hangs but I still can't access my apps, internet Connectivity, mails, contact and photos as the problem still persists. And how do I re-install the firmware for nokia E7? Please peeps I need help for my phone!!!

[quote author=temmy.m3]use the soft format code *#7370# to restore your phone. This will completely erase all the phone content leaving the preset factory apps (unlike the format method u just used) Note that this will erase everythin u ever had on the device leaving it just the way u bought it. U can be sure of a perfect device after that. Enjoy.[/quote]

timpaker: I don't know how best to thank you for your help. I just did the hard reset with the above code and it worked. My phone is back to normalcy. Thanks a bunch... Wish i could buy u a beer.lol

NB:
FACTORY RESET code is *#7780#
HARD RESET code is *#7370#
THERE IS NOTHING SUCH AS *#7380#

jedisco: @Temmy

You can spare your misinformation about firmwares to your ignorant folk. Remember I'm still waiting for a link to belle fp1 for n8 on navifirm. Or have you forgotten??
So you expect any sensible person to rely on downloading the whole firmware from Navifirm or through PC suite when I can easily get the additions through an OTA update.
The hassles of Navifirm and phoenix should be left to you who has to use it to get a decent smartphone experience.
Man go back and check those your 175mb CFW and you would see they are not complete as you would have to add the remaining from the OFW. I've used a complete CFW and it was about 300mb. Now add the OFW and phoenix and you get the 800MB.

You should have known by by now that I'm someone who goes beyond the hype.

**Laughing and rolling on the floor** This dude really needs flogging. Do u really have a clue of what Navifirm, Firmware or OTA Update means now with what u just wrote I shake my head for u and u claim to read blogs ooo, i don't blame u, u read websites and u Neva had an opportunity to practice what u read , jokes apart let me Enlighten u more

FIRMWARE. Are the program embedded into your ROM that makes that thing u are holding a phone!

NAVIFIRM is a nokia software used in downloading firmwares for any Nokia device manually and directly from nokia server

PC SUITE is... well if u don't know that, then stop using a phone.

OTA Update.. OVER THE AIR UPDATE, this is when u connect you phone to Nokia Suite and your firmware gets refreshed or refurbished, either partially or entirely

PHOENIX. Is a software used in writing Firmware files into the ROM

OFW. Original Firmware, are the ROM data for a particular phone, originally made by Nokia that has never been tampered with whatsover

CFW. are the ROM data originally made by Nokia which has been edited or modified for consumers pleasure or enjoyment

Now listen, when a new firmware is released, u can either upgrade manually or OTA using pc suite. The easiest is the PC suite which as well is kinda risky concerning the kinda network back home. U just connect your phone to the PC, click on Update, then Nokia suite starts downloading the OFW from Nokia Server, at this stage the ROM gets formatted and device goes into Test Mode (Flash Mode) until the OFW is downloaded and installed. Normally the PC suite doesnt support multiple Node to nokia server so it is just one time download all through. server timeout is 5-10sec, any slight hold in server connection leads to download reboot there by corrupting the position where the reboot started, now the Nokia suite either shows an error or quits updating. Congratulations! U have just bricked your phone!!

The 2nd Method is manual update. Here, u need to have the FW u wanna use ready plus your updating software. This is where Phoenix and OFW/CFW comes in. Instead of downloading the OFW via Nokia suite (OTA Update) u download it manually, either by searching on Google or by using NAVIFIRM. a complete NOKIA Firmware consists of 8 main files. CORE, APE-ONLY-ENO, ROFS2, ROFS3, UDA, SIGNATURE, DCP, VPL. All this files together are about 160MB in average, especially when packed in a Zip format (Which is quite lesser)

Now after downloading ur firmware, U put it in Phoenix, Connect your phone and Flash/Upgrade. in 3 min u are done. That is it!

Now tell me, isnt it gonna be a wise idea using the second method when u v got nothing to lose? after all if u brick ur phone at the first method, u r definitely gonna use the second method to make it work ever again. and where did u were u told that u ll have to download OFW before CFW or whatever? I shake my head for u

Now lets talk about total and partial update. Total/Complete update involves changing the whole ROM contents with a later version, (Like S^3 to Anna or Anna to Belle) I know u haven't had any experience in this so that is why u felt a a complete firmware is 800MB. ..

Partial update just as the name sounds, involves some minimal changes to the Current OS version ROM drive (like BELLE FP1 and BELLE REFRESH) and not the Whole firmware. This is the kinda update u had. so i shouldn't expect u to know much about CFW or sizes for firmwares and by the way how many people has got time to waste making a CFW for a 701 anyways

CFW has been in existence ever since S60v5 days and now that u, a JJC has come to know about it, wont it be so silly and senseless for u to say it is created just for an old device to have the feel of the new ones U don't just guess bro and read blogs bro, it wont help u much. look at the trash u poured down above na, U need to try your hands and experience some stuffs.

Dude, go back to that blog where u read about the size of firmwares ( Cos am pretty sure u never used one) and read again.

A COMPLETE FIRMWARE at an average is 150MB ( About 100MB if u don't need the UDA, and usually the 8 files comes packed in Zip)
PHOENIX IS 120MB
NAVIFRM is 400KB (Not MB, Kilobyte)
Calculate that, How much Size did u get? and by the way, u should know that a device will never boot up without a complete firmware so keep mute o. ll put my own screenshot here from device manager, at least that indicates my knowing what am doin and not just reading blogs and digesting wrong info, like ya.

I CAN SEE TRULY, U ARE REALLY SOMEONE WHO GOES BEYOND THE HYPE


Where is AIEROMON o. come and see what someone is saying concerning Firmwares and Nokia update stuffs o

Ok the poster didn't mention that right. oya give us the link to the third phone he mentioned.. N7.

Oga, na this mouth we see u for, Always ranting! especially when it comes to 701! Man where is your location? maybe i should bring u the devices and lets hope Ur own eyes go tell you the differences between screens. It just like Capacitive and Resistive touchscreens, U keep reading blogs, then u gonna get the history of Resistive been the best cos it has got 3 layers or whatever whereas when u test yourself, no one tells u before u know which is superb, Same goes with AD-54 & WH-701 Nokia earphones. U have got nothing to lose Comparing both in your hands and see which one is much better in display. but if u chose to go with TFT it is what u v got and no other choice, then good for you.

No 1 attacked u na, I only told the poster to go for Amoled other than TFT, just because 701 has the opposite screen, U start your regular ranting again..HABA

Cool down, i never said those Partitions were just letters, you are not blind, this is why i mentioned and explained C D E & Z partitions at the previous page, u said some were irrelevant, i ll try and explain again. Normally i ll put this on my topic on dailymobile but i ll put it here anyway,

C: memory is more like "system persist" partition of your Z: Most of the program files in ROM (Z memory) creates their executions in C (sys/bin) cos it needs a space for making an accessible memory dump, BE9 folder command content, Hash-check & temporary files for the phone to run successfully. This files takes up 20-30MB on scratch and nothing more. when u download a Nokia firmware (either original or costumed) U'll find out that UDA is the phone memory and it contains default apps (Social, Maps ,Adobe PDF etc). if u remove UDA before upgrade/Flashing, u ll find out your C memory is clean but the necessary running flies are copied from Read Only system memory (Z) to editable memory (C) which makes your C only 30MB in use. so u can install other needed apps in E, which is partitioned to hold Mass content. Now i think u can see the difference between C and E, and the reason why it is being partitioned that way. so even if my C was 1GB or 100MB, i don't care, all i needed enough space to hold system files, anything else i have them on E:

LMAO. Jedisco, i know ur type. the ones claim they know it all by reading everything they could come across on the net. i have a friend like u, he uses E65, but he could tell u what is happening on a galaxy S3. He prints out stuffs from GSMArena almost everyday and he could tell u d history of flashing a phone whereas he has neva seen phoenix, Cyclone or Jaf box. Na only mouth people like u dey. I'm gonna be frank with u. just because u spent most of your time on the internet looking for phone specs and reading every blog or download every software in NOkia store doesnt make u someone who goes beyond the hype! Trust Me. U are more like someone who watches his mates playing football outside from the window. sue me :-P

Symbian 3 platform is just too plain and simple in such a way that 256MB of RAM is enough to power it up for a STABLE performance. AND YES I STILL CONSIDER N8 WITH 256MB RAM STABLE ON A NOKIA BELLE OS in 2012!! if u v got problem with that, then sue me Don't mistake yourself for an Android or Ios user man, i downloaded Asphalt 6 for Samsung .apk on Tuesday and before installing, i tried unpacking to know how the script init command was packaged compared to Belle version i had for my previous phone and i was like "waoh, this is impressive" . i can imagine why Nokia is moving into windows . I don't claim to be a guru or whatever man, i do love going beyond the basics and making something outta nothing, i have uploaded the screenshot to my own personal FW so keep mute about my purpose of flashing cos u know nothing. How do i expect u to know the goodies of CFW when your first s^3 mobile came with belle. How will u know how the size of a complete firmware? lol. Your 800mb firmware size is quite pathetic and Hilarious, I think others who has really seen and downloaded this can testify

You asked me to list the Advantages and reasons why i use a CFW, what about what i listed at my previous posts above?? or are u trying to dodge them JEDISCO, MENTION ONE SINGLE THING YOU HAVE DONE WITH YOUR DEFAULT 701 OUT OF THE 10+ STUFF I LISTED ABOVE! In addition bro, I have ALL MY WIDGETS IN SEMI-TRANSPARENT with Shadows. YES, ALL! (Could upload them if u want), How many of this widget do u have in transparent mode, Wait before u eat me raw, i know u hav installed some and changed som Mifs ( dat is if u have) but can u change That of the Embedded stuff requires some changes from their source and not just from Mif. like small calendar, Mail etc as well?

JEDISCO

U amaze most times reading your replies. by the way i dont know why i still argue over a device i no longer use. guess this ll be my last argument over symbian brands
*Honestly, u are beginning to put your own Label and signature into the topic, now the user is asking for advices ON SYMBIAN PHONES why bro why? well, Maybe u should provide us a supported link of an N7 for us, or maybe the user meant 701 instead of N7 right I gave the OP a full comparison at the 1st page though, if u v got problem with that, u can paste yours k

*Dunno ur issue concerning ugliness of a device. i chose a GS2 over HTC sensation last wk Saturday, yeah HTC was more prettier and it feels good in my hands but i preferred Samsung anyway, i go with features and not the body. & just because u don't like a design doesn't mean others won't. it is called CHOICE

* I did explained The Memory stuff cos u don't seem to get a clue of what it means. I say it again. C: and E: are just a partition created on the same memory circuit, they are both system memory, U can always change the default memory dump file & Cache data location from C to E on a CFW. I say it again, i have 146MB free ( After porting the MAP suite for 808 and installing antivirus) on my C and it hasn't changed since i made my final CFW since April cos everything else run on E: by default (will include a screenshot) i have enough Memory on E so why bothered about C: If u are still confused of C: go back to my reply and read again, if u still don't get it, then u are dumb! Shoot Me Bro!!

* I see u have a lot to learn concerning firmwares, be it costumed or Original. CFW has been in existence since S60v5 days. A firmware dat has been modified to meet your own taste and with no restrictions from Nokia.
flashing a firmware is just the same as connecting your Phone to a PC SUITE (that u already downloaded, like Phoenix) and downloading the huge firmware size of your device, the device goes into Flashmode, then the downloaded firmware is ported into the device. This is no different with manual flashing, U download Phoenix, Then donwload any firmware of your choice that you wish to port into the device (by either using Navifirm or downloading directly from the net). Any wise thinking human should know flashing manually is better and 100% safer than a PC suite update esp. back home in Naija, at least if there is an error, u can do it again with the same FW other than brick your phone with PC suite error and finally using the same phoenix to make it work. Don't blame u, ur first update was FP1, which was 40MB, u gonna understand what i mean when you get matured with updates in the future. and where did u get 800mb, i havnt seen any firmware pack more than 150-160mb.

* Your issues concerning xeon. This is kinda dumb bro. U should know by now, Nothing is perfect on earth. Millions of people complain about Nokia updates, be it Anna, Belle, belle FP1. i might make a firmware and make the default snapshot folder DCIM, u might wanted it to be in IMAGES, what happens if i release my firmware and u use it? U gonna open u water dropping mouth and tell me EH! HE HAS GOT A BUG IN HIS FIRMWARE!! Quite dumb, why not make one yourself if u don't like it? i do use my own firmware built the way i wanted it to be so am not complaining
Oh really? U u v got all without a CFW
Can u move your Browser cache default location to a different drive?
Can u change your default Bluetooth folder
What about changing your record length
Can u edit ur sysAp program , like adding a RESTART Prompt to the power key selection
Can u change the startup Animation/Tone as well as Shutdown Animation & Tones
Can u change your UI Acceleration settings to improve the phone UI or Battery performance?
Got your Radio or Screensaver in landscape?
Ur native music player displays lyrics or add more equalizer without the help of an installed software
There are 258 different commands in the 'BE9 folder and this has been set by default from Z, how many of this can u modify How many scriptinit hav u personalized? Abi make i continue? Uncle find somewhere siddown o.
How many of the above stuffs have u can u do with your basic Nokia Belle 701 feature pack 1 i guess not, that is if you know what most of them means. Thank God for Modders who decided to make stuffs like MIFBASEPATCHES so u can hav access to ur .mif files.

SCREEN.
It seems u have got some bug my dear friend, u have got problem adapting to changes. u are too fond of this 701 thingy. i told u times withouth number, go find someone with an Amoled screen and compare it with your 701. u read too much blogs without even putting what u think u know to a test. I cant even compare my new SuperAmoled baby's screen color with my Old N8, now u still talk about TFT screen, u should be comparing that to a CSTN screen. Go to computer village and Say, Hey TFT is better than AMOLED and see how dem go look u. i laugh in SWAHILI

Seems you hav got another bug of being forgetful, When i newly met u, i told u a friend has got one 701 which i normally try my hands on at my neighborhood, i did made a mistake thinking the earphone jack was at the side, not until i pasted on the forum, had to visit the guy that same evening to take a good closer look at the phone and i remember coming back to correct my statement without modifying my old post (Go back there and start reading again). i bought a fairly used 701 for not long after that cos the owner was getting an iphone. then we made a fresh argument. i remember mentioning in the forum that i ll be joining AIEROMON and moving to Droid, i did exchanged my 701 with HTC Desire S ( I mentioned this last month in on a thread) didn't like it much and decided to let go of both my God Forsaken HTC CHACHA & Desire S for a A GS2. i still have N8 for FM Transmission and Snaphots/Video.

Open your eyes man, i never said N8 was smoother than any Android or whateva.. What is wrong with U na bro i said N8 ISN'T AS LAGGY AS U MIGHT WANNA BELIEVE (at least for a symbian running device)! Scroll back up and read with your eyes open.

I'm done with argument as far as Symbian in concerned, i am more concerned about following droid's topic about Apps & Games. Maybe in few months i could start arguing GS2 over another phone..and i really wished i haven't commented on DROID vs SYMBIAN thread cos i have a different view already. Good luck with your 701 Uncle Jedi, see u at the other side in future

Let me see your answer! Oya oya......

Abegii!! Lets be sincere once a while, Liars won't make heaven. Why will i start a relationship with someone i am not attracted to IMPOSSICAN'T..
Physical attraction is so damn important, even if it fades away with time, that wont matter anymore. At least i liked her physically when we met before growin so much into loving
her.
Really dont wanna wake up seeing my partner's face, get upset and go back to bed.... Or avoiding a walk with her on the street (Honey dey go front, i go dey follow u for back) Jooor o. IT MATTERS!

Go back to standby (Homepage) mode on your phone. Place your finger on the topmost part of the screen and drag it all the way down, tap the Mobile data toggle ( 1st toggle by the left) to turn mobile data on, A Blue colour on the toggle shows mobile data connection is set to on.
