₦airaland Forum

Please guys dont get me wrong, when i argue on any technology in the forum, it is just to share ideas together & probably gain more, if u do check my posts out so well on Nokia threads, i always say,Apart from flagship devices, Every nokia device is built for a specific purpose... Multimedia creation, multimedia consumption etc . I dont work with Nokia so there is nothing to gain from me winning or losing an arguement! That's childish. i like guys who knows their stuffs, sharing ideas with them are always great. Be it arguement or whatever. Thats just me though

Damon03: First of all, there is nokia N7, the poster may mean N8 (cos its more popular) but there is N7(a simple google search will do justice to my claim)

lol. Bro there is no nokia device with the model N7 yet o. The only site with that error was "letsgomobile" and failed to provide a picture for the said phone. Please dont get it twisted . "No N7" yet or at least that i know of. Please provide links if u are sure bro.

4peace: i pray to God this morning for you guys temmy & jedisco to get awof money and move on to another platform OS

Make una leave us nokia user alone we are tired of augument everytime symbian is mention on this forum.

lol. I never wanted to reply any arguement o. Was trying to give a detailed explanation to the OP, decided to reply uncle Jedisco when his 2nd post was hillarious. I dont have a 701 as a 2nd phone no more anyway, got an HTC Desire S. Not the best android device but at least it is another platform right

Gbyte: Just tell me what a Samsung would do better than an IPhone 4s, stop speaking grammar. Please consult your YouTube and see what an iPhone can go through and a Samsung wont. What water test, drop test and many more test on YouTube there...

ehnehn, Youtube, Bluetube and even physicalTube, all the iphones i saw never passed their drop test na Abi Is your own iphone Made in Onitsha

Jedisco, The picture above is a 701 (above) and N8 (below)displaying the same content with both set at maximum brightness, The 1st pic is a Disney walt cartoon (video) and d 2nd was a random picture from Belle presets, can u spot the differences in screen colour accuracy and contrast ratio between both? which will u prefer Dont forget dsame screen run your games o.
Having a smartphone aint just about... EH! I HAVE THE BIGGEST RAM AND THE FASTEST CPU + The Brightest smartphone eva produced .. Seriously if i should use that as my main reason of choosing a device, then am gonna keep changing phones every week. There are other main things you enjoy when u own a device apart from basic smartphone stuff, like how much contents is the in-built memory willin to contain, how good is the production ( Camera & Video) and cosumption as well ( Amoled or TFT), i do love getting the best out of gadget i own. Take for example FM TRANSMITTER, i noticed i get good transmission with the N8 in d car when i place the aluminium casing on any metal surface like the rear speakers? Also recording videos, there is another mic placed just below the loudspeaker to allow a professional recording of videos in stereo mode and voice cancelation. I also made a snapshot of a spinning standing fan on our previous thread to show how far an N8 camera could go, no matter how fast the object is. The phone has replaced my room's DVD player cos i plug my flashdrive via OTG Cable then connect to TV via HDMI and i enjoy a perfect picture quality + a good dolby sorround sound, i hav even uploaded my gaming moments on TV with the phone if u still remember. I v even made my own versions of Belle for N8. What more do i really want for a phone? Tell me, if i should hav 701 as my main device, will i really enjoy 50% of all this. Why should i go stand inside the sun cos i wanna feel the power of clearblack in sunlight? Or go for the sexiest phone (like a candy, as u always quote.lol) when i knew d plastic casin is really gonna start getting old before a year?
We all have our different reasons for choosing devices anyway but as i v always said, all recent Nokia devices have their specific purposes, at least to me and consodering the lil' experiences i had with them
N8- Multimedia production
X7-Multimedia consumption
E7-Keyboard satisfaction
701-screen Brightness
808- The mother of them all, for now
It s your choice, but choose wisely!

JEDISCO
Bro! I never wanna reply at first knowing fully well that u only had 701 without even trying your hands on any other Symbian^3 devices, just relyin on all the write-ups u get online. But your 2nd post seems to amaze me so i think am gonna start from Top!
1. Sincerely bro, hav u ever own or tried ur hands on a phone with either Amoled or just a LED screen built device after u had your 701?? U neva noticed any difference *Shakes my head*
Honestly bro, did u read and understand what was written on the site u refered me to And u still feel a TFT screen experience is better??

jedisco: Taking the 701 and C7(or N8) for instance most of the above are constant except for brightness (with 701 having the brightest screen on a smartphone) and reflectance which Nokias ClearBlack display more than takes care of.

This post shows how much u never took time reading your link and you neva had any opportunity with an Amoled phone. PHYSICAL SCREEN MATERIALS, COLOUR ACCURACY are constant on both TFT and Oled?? *Laughz and fell from a mango Tree i once attached pictures of both phones runnin dsame content on our previous thread, i think i ll attach it again below, u should be d judge yourself! SEEING IS BELIEVING BRO!

This your issue of clearblack os quite disturbing o. Maybe i ll hav to upload a pic of an N8 screen in sunlight to see if it is that bad without a ''Clearblack'', I dunno if any N8 user ever complained of squeezin their eyes when operatin
d device outdoors.

jedisco: Neither did he mention N8 bro

Really? N7?? Can u please tell me where to find one of that U should know better that this bro! He meant N8 and u know it!

I think i said this times without numbers on our previous thread. Nokia aint stupid, u cant compare a price of a device with Aluminium body/16gb memory/AMOLED/12MP carlz optics + xenon flash cam/HDMI to a Plastic/TFT/8gbmemory/8MP fixed focus + LED Flash.. THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY IS CLEAR! u pay more for good service bro! Why didnt u get an E6 instead of 701, is the price not lower compared to the device u currently own?

jedisco: Internal memory: 8GB although lower than that on the N8 and E7, it has a much better allocation between C: and E: so you hardly run out on C: which can't be increased artificially.

LMAO! Bro, read what u wrote and ask yourself, Does this point really make sense? What is this?? Lol. Why should anyone run out of C: memory when all your installations and files should be stored on Mass memory E: drive (except for Antivirus & other preloaded nokia apps)? Kk i get it, u hav an 8gb phone, unfortunately the same 8gb was shared with other partition ( C: D: Z of your phone which makes the Mass memory itself insifficient for you so the only option you had was to use your C: memory. Quite upsetting i must say. lol. Bro, N8 has 16GB on board memory so why should i be bothered about C: , i wonder how many users stores contents on C: though, except for the newbies and OUT OF MEMORY guys

UPGRADEABILITY: Seems you have not been following Most thread relating to S^3, even our previous Thread.. "NOKIA BELLE IS HERE"! Cos if u do, u should know there is a leaked version of belle Fp1 for N8 from Nokia. (Just like Anna and Belle was leaked for the same phone in previous yrs) Guess what? It was even better cos i was able to modify the original firmware to my own taste and even gave it a name. Tell me, whatz more??

CAMERA: we all know N8 is the best among its siblings, ...forget 1st 2nd or 5th gen EDoF or whateva, the fact remains 701 has an 8MP fixed focus du*bsh*t with a LED Flashlight. LED is for touchlights, not for good pictures kk bro

TV OUT. I said this times without number, just because u dont use a feauture doesnt mean others are following your foot steps. There is nothing as cool as turning your small device into either your home DVD Player or Video game. Using the AVI Cable is sweet, but HDMI things ehn, its sweeter, Makes u take a second look at your phone and say...Oh mehhnn

origina9ja: haha
@ poster
it means the owner of the money on my head

Are u for real honey? when did he start keepin money on top of your head?? lol. old post but funny, translating yoruba words Sometimes can be very frustrating and funny

megxo: can u use da SG3 phone 2 pluck MANGO??.............. bt dat 3310 MACHINE GO DE KAMPE

LMAO. Good point

what? are u kidding me? what is the difference between two pikins wey goat born? no be ''Meeeheee'' dem both go dey sound
Are u goin to do more than PINGING with both?! u berra find somwhere siddown my friend.

Now Let me Answer the poster in detail... C7, E7 & N8 (Not N7 i guess)
First i ll list their Main features, then explain so u decide what to go for

The 3 devices share Much similarities, Like Being a symbian 3 Device than can be upgradded to "Nokia Belle".
An AMOLED or Super AMOLED screen is what you must ensure before getting a smartphone. a smartphone isnt complete without a Very nice View and perfect colour combination for Games and movies. TFT screen on new smartphones are useless and upsetting (what was nokia thinkin when adding dat to 701? Reducing cost i guess, WTF!). i cant imagine watching movie on a TFT TV or playing a PS3 games with a TFT TV set. Even the cheapest laptop will never have that.
The gorilla glass on the devices helps prvent common scratches on the screen + it is strong so your screen wont break at the slightest drop
bluetooth 3.0, USB OTG, Front camera etc
But now lets talk about the differences...

*Both C7 & E7 has an 8GB internal memory which is not that bad for some, but u can add a memory card to increase c7 memory while E7 doesnt have this option. On the other Hand, N8 has a 16GB inbuilt memory plus a memory card option so u decide what u want
*Weight.. c7 is d lightest with 130Grams, followed by N8, 135G then the Heavy soldier, E7 with 176G. if u dont mind holding and putting a heavy brick inside pocket, then E7 is ok. but if u do spend lots of time with your phone like i do, then u should go with either c7 or N8, they both have 5grams different so it feels dsame when held
*Display. N8 and c7 both has a 3.5in display, pretty ok for normal usage. but if u do a lot with games and movies, then E7's 4inches screen is something to consider
*Amoled is cool but with E7's Clearblack tech. it is better, your screen are more visible in sunlight cos the dark backround layer of the screen increases. this doesnt mean N8 and C7 doesnt display nicely in sunlight, the light sensor on top of both devices increases the brightness to maximum so u can see whats on screen but the dark background stays the same. so here u should consider, how well do u operate or expose your precious phone screen to sunlights
*Camera and Video. Both E7 & C7 has the same spec of camera, 8mp, fixed focus and LED flashlight, quite basic (though d fixed focus sensor spoils it all). but u can never go wrong with N8 camera. 12mp, Carlzz optics plus a xenon flash. very professional i must say. if u are so creative, u gonna love using that machine, it replaces a real cam if u already hav one. shooting videos are great too cos its built with a good voice cancelation mic at the end. u can google more about N8 cam though
* FM transmitter allows you to listen to the music on your phone through any FM radio around. this is one of my best phone feature. Available both on c7 & N8 but not present in E7.
*TV OUT. this feature allows you to view your phone content on your tv either via plugging a supported AV cord to your phone's headphone Jack or Via HDMI option. All the 3 devices supports AV options but Only E7 & N8 supports HDMI, this is quite the best option to me though (If your TV supports HDMI) cos u get a perfect picture quality on your home theatre + a perfect doulby surround sound. u are even gonna be suprised how any of those 2 small phones could do that.
*KEYBOARD matterzz.. If u do type a whole lot, then i think you will like the physical QWERTY keyboard on E7. for me i still feel a touch Qwerty (c7 & N8) is better, maybe it s because i v gotten used to touch typing and never wanna dream of ever using keys anymore but it s your choice though. u still get both touch and physical keyboard on E7 while u only get Touch keyboard on C7 & N8
*Package and Casing. Both c7 and E7 are made of basic casing, quite cool. but N8 on its own is made of Anodized Aluminium ( Not an iron so it aint heavy) i knda feel this is much better than plastic cases for protection, i remember i once placed an N8 on a table with a drop of super glue, didnt realise until i lifted the phone and the back was like messed up, thanks to the Alluminium body, na my teeth i gently use to peel the thing commot without even a scratch on the phone, u can imagine what would hav happened if the phone was made with plastic casing.

None of them is the best, u just go with what suits your daily needs.
I hope i helped in any little way i could. All the best bro.

jedisco: Except if your mind is made up, I would advice you to go for Nokia 701 as it possesses alot of advantages over the listed ones above except that it does not have the 4 inch screen of E7. Also its much cheaper. The C7 has amoled screen but I think I prefer the screen on 701 to it.

I don't know any phone called N7 but I think you're referring to N8. The camera on N8 is awesome but thats just about its stand out feature.
For me the best symbian device now is 808 followed by 701

Wheeew, bro i neva knew how much u loved your 701 until i saw this post, had to go scroll back up to see who the poster was. Hmmmm. U and 701 sha. Incredible
Seriously u prefer a 701 screen to a C7?? What are u bro lol. u still feel good with a TFT screen in 2012? Why is dat old screen still used on High-End devices anyway..
I know u luv 701 & u ar used 2 it but u need to try out other Nokia belle devices apart from its good looks and its upgraded RAM compared to some old Nokia Belle devices. I sold mine 2wks ago though. I tell u 701 DOESNT POSSESS ANY ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER! Mind u the poster never mentioned 701 na...

@OP. It depends on what u really wanna be doing with your device. First, NEVER EVER CONSIDER BUYING AN EXPENSIVE PHONE WITH A TFT SCREEN if you wanna get a good quality of Movies, games and pictures and display generally.

@OP ... You are speaking Latin. I'm 6'2 so i'm so damn crazy about tall girls, slim but not over-slender. i do fancy short girls as well though feel a lil' bit uncomfortable walking along the street with or kissing very short girls esp. 5ft4 below.

Message to all tall guys who have never dated tall females or who are much into short/petite girls, u better let it stay that way cos it s very difficult to date a shorter girl after being with a very tall girl for a long time. U might find it funny and it could really be complicated.

To the short pretty girls out there who has got some ''longitudes'' for a bf, u beta hold ur guy and keep him away from tall chicks or else u gonna lose his attention. Even if she s just his friend. He s gonna prefer moving around with her to u. just joking but true though. From my own experience sha.

ERICSSON T10 .. I ll never forget.

Guy forget jor. There is nothing like the best network in Nigeria. its just a matter of choice. They all get improved at the same time get worse everyday. if u say MTN is the best due to low tariff, then what happens if Airtel or glo decides to cut their tariff lower? Talk about promos.. they all have their different offers and benefits. so bro u alternatively get sims from different network so when a new offer is available, u wont carry last

fubbyy: Guy which network dey do all dis tin?

cupid4ig: pls which network cos airtel is dulling me here

[quote author=fubbyy]eMpTy heN.
i guess the N500 of 1wk validity has 50mb of data right? visit any download site of your choice from your bb. download huge files with 200mb of size and above. now come back and tell me if your data was used up or not... am waiting for responses....

Ruq: Nothing is unlimited even if you subscribe for the 3000 or 3500 package. just say you never ever used up your data. give me your phone for one day and i'll let you know if it's limited.

chai, guy u dull pass sheep o! i cant even count the number of movies i downloaded last month and non of them are less than 700mb.not to talk of youtube streams and other stuffs. so are u tellin me i never used up my data? Chai some people don carry last sha! SMH.

LMAO. wetin concern TB Joshua and 2go na? witchcraft don dey 2go ni??
i was online on 2go throughout yesterday, i logged out at around 11pm. i had the sweetest nite eva
To all who didnt use 2go yesterday, thanks for making the internet speed faster for me, unlike 2 nites ago when the networks were overloaded

chai some people dull pass Sheep. SMH.

jedisco: What is this supposed to mean

Are you also switching?

yeah bro, before the year runs out. not totally switching though, will still hav a belle device with me

aieromon: I'm finally saying bye to Nokia and their wonderful tray of Symbian devices. Anybody interested in the mobile tv headset receiver or the Nokia N8 can check my thread in the market section.

Its time to try out my first android phone.

So long.

Awww.. we gonna miss u bro but dont go far o.. cos am coming soon too

wale0911: i crash my nokia c7 during firmware upgrade with phoenix,,,,pls is there any way i can get it working again cos the phone only vibrates any never come up since then...pls help.

Just like Jedisco mentioned, a DEAD FLASHING MODE u should bring your phone up except if you performed the following errors
* U flashed your C7 using a firmware meant for another device model

*You try to flash with an older version of firmware compared to the one you hav currently (Like trying to flash/downgrade a belle device to ANNA)

You downloaded a corrupt/incomplete version of your device firmware (you should have 8 different files to complete a firmware)

These are the main reasons you could get a device bricked, no need to be worried bro. U recover it yourself. They gonna use the same phoenix to recover the phone at computer village

Where did u download the firmware version u used? Is it from the one i posted earlier in previous pages?

flameforx: thx for your reply bro
Am not talking of "social"-mine Is working fine,there is this app called "Socially" which sync facebook event Nd contact info to your fone.thtz wat am having wahala wif.

Aww, forgive me bro, i dont use ''socially'' app

^^^
Bro, during Social app installation, there is a secondary installation file that pops up after completing the initial one, it usually shows ''Installing widgets, please wait'' . This is where all control engines are located. Did u get this during installation?
Also do u have ''socialinstaller.exe'' running in background? Check this using either KILLME or NETQIN under system application-Running apps

@Mafia4life
I really like people who knows their stuffs, which u do. but based on some of your points, you judge mainly because u haven’t really tried the modern day symbian which renders most of your points invalid..
*. VIDEO CALLING . I quite agree with you on this. Android has a plus here when it comes to video calling via social Networks, this is a feature that has not yet been implemented on Symbian, Although kype promised to include this on thier future update, Nevertheless, u cant just Shun Mobile to Mobile Video calling just because it is not supported on Android. It exist on Symbian which is awesome. Not everyone is keen about Video Calling though

*.GPS is too active compared to symbian?? Hello?? U wished it was so right? Sorry to Disappoint you bro, U are so wrong. Firstly you need to Understand that GPS Feature relies on the Hardware embedded on the phone, Its no more news that Nokia makes the best of Hardware. Secondly, On the Software stuff.. Are you telling me Google map is better than Nokia Map?? OMG. U need to see both yourself, u can Google NOKIA MAP Vs Google Map for android yourself and see which is better. even for the fact that Navigation is Free for Nokia makes it worthwhile. I used HTC Chacha before so i know what map is like on Android

*. Using your phone to measure distance and height? Are u kidding me, what was your previous Nokia model?? I can’t even count the number of converting tools on OVI store. This point is irrelevant

*. Although i am not much into gaming, this is one good reason most people are going for android OS, but are the best of these games free? How many of these people can afford to pay online for game downloads?? Most of all the best HD Games on Android Market exists on Ovi Store and there are so many Emulators out there for symbian s60v3 phones, like PPS1 emulator-s60v3. Most of the old symbian platform's apps work on the new symbian release.

*. Video files .avi, .mkv .mp4 .flv and the rest all plays on Symbian ^3 phones. Even without using extra video players or plugins. When was the last time u held and used a Symbian? Am sure u had those old symbian phones. I included a screenshot of .mkv video format played from My phone

* You can always download from thepiratebay using the built in browser. Magnetic link, Flash player embed link, javamidport based links.. Everythin.. It works! Please be sure of your words before u post.

*. One thing that got my attention when i was goin for android was the widgets. back then when Nokia widgets was wacky, i was so attracted to Android's Homescreen widgets. But now everything has changed. Symbian Belle widget looks so good and beautiful, Android's widgets doesnt even come close anymore. "U CAN UPLOAD SCREENSHOTS FROM YOUR WIDGETS ON YOUR ANDROID'S HOMESCREENS & LETS COMPARE " ....Symbian aint just the same way u think it was some years ago."
Also there are some funny posts here especially when Android users are being asked to mention apps, Why do you mention stuffs like Talking Tom, Converters, calculators and its varies, These are pointless and unreasonable. What do u really take symbian ^3 for? .... Are those the best of apps u v got with all those 33000 apps? Or u r just buying android phones just because of the its Name and popularity? Where are android tweakers? or no tweaks and hacks exists on your platform,
The reasons Symbian fell behind was their inability to adapt very quickly to market demands. Thank God they came out with belle at last, now they could compete with other OS. Also if Symbian was an independent OS like Google’s Android, Demands would have been higher cos it would have been embedded on other phones like SonyEricsson, LG, HTC and Samsung's latest products. Maybe people would have understood what the new Symbian OS is worth.

..

Am sure this was written by an oyinbo man cos some things are different when it comes to naija girls esp. the loki ones

In my country Naija,
When she walks from you mad and u follow her, na word u wan hear, Na public disgrace go end the matter for both of u.

U cant kiss her when she starts cursing at u my broda, oyinbo's curses are light and flexible, but Naija curses are thunder in the making, u wont even have the chance to say I love you when she pours acient curses Yoruba,Igbo or Hausa language.

When she pulls away, pull her back... Get ready for a hot slap my guy

Grab her and dont let go when she hits or pushes u.. Hmmmm, igbo kwenu, if thick igbo girl pushes u, then u should quickly find somethin nearby to hold on to before u fall yakata for ground
Offend Lasgidi downtown girl and she hits u with let say, a bottle on your head.. U dont wanna imagine whats gonna happen

When she's scared, protect her... Depends on what got her scared of o. This is Naija, not Holywood movie, where she is scared of one of her teddybears.


When you break her heart [ the pain NEVER really goes away .. That is if u hav even got the chance to break her heart first!

When she ignores you.... SEND HER RECHARGE CARDS or renew her BBS

When she steal's your favorite hat [ Let her keep it & sleep with it for a night] ... I trust my fellow NL guys, If your GF steals your face cap, na here u go rush come to create the topic ''MY GF STOLE MY CAP What should i do"

When she says its over [ she STILL wants you to be hers ] ... **Coughing** I ll be right back

Hmmmm. poster are u sure u followed all this your rules
Seriously if 20 percent of human live by these rules, the world would have been a better place, but the truth is.. Its so hard to find a holy partner who follows all this rules, My advice is.. pray to meet your own destined spouse and talk to God to change him for good in any particular way u feel isnt right. No one is perfect my dear.
U wanna keep leaving by the rules in terms of searching? sorry to disappoint u, u either end up with a pretender or worse when u are getting older, still searching but now so desperate to walk down the Aisle.

shymmex: Public display of affection isn't something you have to believe in to show - it's something which exhibit itself naturally, when you're either 'in love' or into your partner..

I never used to believe in it as well till I met someone that turned my life around...

Memories, I tell ya... Woman can turn a guy out.

God bless u!

@OP
How does that sound to u in real sense? Dont be a dirty boy na, buy your own brush. abi make i buy for u?

Promxy94: Nokia devices their touchscreens are wacks,even a broom stick touchd on it wil operate it,bt andriods are customised to work wit ur finger print,or sensitive part of d body.Andriod os are gr8,to me they r d world leading os

Promxy94: lie of d century both d resistive & capacitive of Nokia works wit broom stick,k coming to apps do u hav talkin tom on ur symbian or ovi market,the ansa is capital no,not to talk of many more Andriod apps.up Andriod

Lolzz *Falls down from a mango tree* ,
Bro no mind them jor, nothing like Capacitive & Resistive. We only have BROOMSTICK & FINGERPRINT touchscreens ..I even prefer using toothpick instead, it s very fast.

Talking Tom & Ovi MARKET ke?? No oo. But we have ''Laughing Jerry '' and ''OVI SHOP'' Nokia is trying their best to build more shops across the area so we can hav a big market named ''OVI MARKET" by the of the month
By the way dont forget your Feeding bottle and Cooler in school o. ..Just kidding bro, no offence but stop being childish kk

Check this out guys

www.mobilephonetalk.com/archive/index.php/t-130918.html

Now this is a comparison at the popular Mobilephonetalk forum.
Read, then tell me why u still feel android is beta!
Really, if u feel android is better due to its 33000+ apps compared to Symbian's 11000+ and still can't even mention just a single useful one from Droid that isnt present in symbian,then i shake my head!
