@ walcolm, is it that same church u lost 2 phones?

Tell the pastor to sell the car tyres and refund u for your lost fones

the pastor is not at fault for the lost phone...if he sells the tyres of a G-Wagon, i'm sure that can buy a P'9983 probably with lots of change to spare for another Passport

olatunji390:

luyemee:
Pls guys, if I do d glo bis my bb curve 7 and tether it with my windows phone would it work?

You can't tether glo bis anymore if you're using legacy devices. I can't even bridge my 9810 to my PB

Kash007:
Glo, but the network is terrible. I'm considering mtn's new social plan

stay STRICTLY AWAY from any social plans....they're bad for BB10 OS...read post #0 of this thread

Reason? Social plans are limited in their scope so, some apps will have access to data while others wont...is that what you want?

Approach any girl, tell her it's my birthday today, go home with her..

Happy buffday man...my pastor's birthday was today and he got a G-Wagon as present...you might want to reconsider your current line of work

choix007:
i'm already running a leaked of that very OS...

you will still get a tiny incremental update that could patch any kink and slap the official label on what you have

baryowah1:
can blackberry subscription for glo work on Z10

yes it works...make sure you're in a location or your life revolves around locations with very high quality glo coverage...check with those aaround you to see if the see 3G, H+ steadily to confirm the coverage is good

yimikaa:
I get H signal when am in VI , 3G in ikeja, H in akute seems awkward.
BTW, Mr Chen and his crew should release this 10.3 update. It's taking way too long haba.

reports reaching us say 10.3.1 will drop on 27th February...keep our fingers crossed

dtruth3:
It's going on now, 2015 Elections Debates/Town Hall Meeting, and the APC representative is missing.
present are....
1. Hope Democratic Party(HOPE)
2. United Progresive Party(UPP)
3. Kowa Party(KOWA) and
4. Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

All this parties have their party agents represented to answer questions, and defend their party manifesto. But surprisingly, the All Progressive Congress (APC) did not send any representative, neither was any explanation given for their absence.

Please watch it now on NTA, its going on live!

of course NTA is owned by the PDP goverment and the only credible opposition they have is APC so its no surprise they did not invite APC to the shenanigan they're calling debate

yimikaa:
That awkward moment when you get H signal from glo in akute.

lol...there's nothing awkward about it...maybe development don reach akute and glo has just upgraded the base station around you

Juliano47:
a Q5 sire. My app world doesn't open....since a pal helped me install OS 10.2.0.**** that's why I'm desperate to update the phone with the official one. I tried opening a page on my browser whilst connected to the hotspot, it never opened. The phone was on mtn bis with simple server...because my glo won't work on it (unchanged imei).

mtn BIS only works on BB devices that run the old OS...OS7.1 and below...MTN BIS doesnt work on androids and BB10 devices

Juliano47:
Didn't work....connected to s3....30mins, nothing downloaded...did with a bold5 (mtn) same......so frustratingly slow! will wait till Monday again.

Sorry about that....are you sure the hotspot was set up properly on the other phones and you connected properly from the z10?

You will know you have done the above properly if you can open BlackBerry world and browse on the z10 before you attempt to download the update.

If you're able to browse and do other stuff, that tells you there data exchange between the devices

[size=28pt]HOW TO SEND PIN MESSAGES[/size]

type your message in the body section and send

Juliano47:
Pls, who stays in lagos and will be kind enough to lemme share his wi-fi? I just wanna use it to update my phone. Tried the autoloader for some OS....didnt see my phone...so, I wanna do the official. I can pay for the mb used...just 1.2gb ....Mind ye, I got 4.1gb on my sim....just wi-fi needed. abeg na....who's kind enough?!

Put your sim in another phone that has mobile hotspot capabilities and set up a wifi for your z10 to connect to...your device doesn't require a sim to operate

DealMogul:
It is apparent you don't understand my explanation given earlier...I would have preferred that you asked for clarification...

I never implied that Chen has a DIRECT impact on the final retail price of the Classic in Nigeria. What I implied was that the singular act of setting a RRP of $449 for a mid-range device aimed primarily at business people is a fail.

When you set a high RRP for such a device what do you expect after shocks like currency devaluation and continental policies (customs e.t.c.) affect the final retail price?

Or do you mean to say that Microsoft is doing something magical to bring down the RRP of their own mid-range devices?

Take for example the Lumia brand which we can say isn't as pervasive as Blackberry in many continents. What Microsoft is doing is to fix the RRP for mid-range devices as low as possible such that it can get sold in droves. That is a strategy.

Our argument that the Classic is a premium device is completely false, please. It is a MID RANGE device. If it was premium, it would have a chassis made of toughened aluminium and the innards would sport top-of-the-line specs (13MP back camera, over 2.0 GHz processing speed and 3-4Gb RAM are now the norm for premium devices. You can check into this...)

I repeat and stand to be corrected, Blackberry is struggling to fly of the shelves. I repeated this because it appears you missed that part of my earlier argument even though this is common knowledge both in the tech world and with consumers. I wouldn't even go as far as doing a poll 'cos I know the outcome...

I'm not a Blackberry basher (wording mine); far from it, I am a super fan of the BBOS ahead of even Android OS. However, I am no blind fan, and I wouldn't shy away from saying the truth when it's meant to be said...

The pricing of the Classic is wrong, just as the pricing of the Z10 at initial launch...Trust me, you don't need a soothsayer to tell that the RRP of the Classic will go south before the end of the year...not because of massive sales but 'cos of minimal sales...

your opinion or mine on how much the phone should sell is irrelevant and has no effect on anything....and the price of any device goes south with time as a natural course of its life cycle so you're not exactly shedding any wisdoms there

BlackBerry; the company has never been known to price their devices like Tecno and its not the business of the company to worry about currency shocks in Nigeria or anywhere else for that matter

if BB is struggling to fly off the shelf, how come its over priced here in Nigeria? if no one is buying how are the kongas of this world selling at the exploitative price they're selling it? that is just one example so consider yourself corrected

Kenai:
Did you know that under Buhari's administration, Nigeria signed a pact to export unrefined crude oil to other countries and then import the finished products afterwards?

This 1984 news article from The New York Times lays it bare!
http://www.nytimes.com/1984/03/14/business/brazil-wins-nigeria-pact.html

it's amazing how much stupidity runs in the GEJ camp...whoever you are and whatever you have been paid to twist the truth, it won't work

under Buhari, the signed pact you have posted was for Brazil to refine our crude (because the refineries had failed under the corrupt leadership of shagari) and return the finished product to us NOT SELL the finished product to Nigeria. Brazil will then charge Nigeria 'SERVICE CHARGE' for the job

you can try to twist the truth but it still wont work

stephenqueen:
because my blackberry z3 uses 4 to 5 hours on heavy usage....is it normal?

It should do more than that? Did you get it new? If you did, return it and get another one

DealMogul:
Let me correct you dear walcom. Chen has everything to do with the price of the Classic. You've answered yourself inadvertently.
Chen sets the RRP at $449 which is about N80k for a mid-range device that is struggling to compete...how many mid-range Android and WP devices do you see at that RRP point?

Please if you know any at that price give evidence otherwise ignore my comment and stop being (unnecessarily) pissed!

You set a RRP at N80k in Europe/America...add landing costs and you think the final retail cost will not go sky high at stores? Spare me you perplexity abeg...

Many fans are looking to see the Classic flying off shelves and not sticking to them like gum to paper becos of poor pricing...

I would have not bothered to revisit this discussion but for your opening statement in bold above

The definition of RRP....recommended retail price is the price at which an item is sold to the final consumer...as far as I know, Jumia, Konga, slot et al distribute devices so they won't get the devices at the price an end user will get it.

They will get at distributor prices and are free to add their margin...in regulated markets like NA and Europe, consumer protection agencies can ensure consumers are not extorted...not the case in a jungle like nigeria

So I still repeat, the 110k set by marketers in Nigeria has nothing to do with John Chen

The classic is not a flagship hardware wise but it's a premium device.

$449 at the time the device was released and listed at 110k on Jumia comes to just 75k at 165/$.

Maybe Chen is also responsible for the devaluation of the Naira?

Hello Friends,
I bought some shares of Dangote Sugar Back in 2006.
Only had the money the and a cashier at bank told me to buy the Dangote shares back then 2006.
Ever since then, I just kept my shares certificate with me.
1. How will i earn from this Shares?
2. As at this time, is it worth selling or should i still keep it.
3. I need your help... I'm just a complete newbie.

Pls Help.. I need advice.

dangote sugar gave some dividends between 2006 and 2009...you should visit veritas registrars formerly zenith bank registrar to find out whats been happening to your holding

berrylyn26:
my z3 keeps saying device full... anyone having same issues

i will advise you get at least 32gb SD card and save all your pictures, videos and music files to the card to free up the internal memory

eniboi:
Pls can anybody confirm, if airtel bis 1.500k still working on Z10.

yes

ekmaxop:
30,000mAh powerbanks available for just 4,000 naira only.... It'd charge your BB10 battery full more than 4 times before it needs recharging. It's unbranded but very very efficient. You go charge tire. Call or whatsapp me on 08033863100 or 08077377940.

a 30k mAh power bank should be able to charge a BB at least 10x before requiring a recharge...if yours can only charge 4x, then there's a problem

The easiest solution is for you to look for a leak version that's complete. If you search this thread you'll find a link to one

I don't bother installing leaks anymore personally

vonskyes:
pls are u currently using airtel on your bb 10 device? I want to switch from glo cos reception is bad in my location. Pls help verify for airtel for bb 10 i use z30. Thnaks

Airtel still works on BlackBerry 10

Definitely not normal...a full charge should give you at least 6hrs heavy use

DealMogul:
Oga Chen fall people hand o...It seems they're trying hard to sell of Blackberry.

How can a device like Classic be N110,000 for heaven sakes? Competing with what phone sef, iPhone 6? The price of a flagship...bad angle

Stuff like this leave me perplexed and pissed....what has Chen got to do with the price of the classic in Nigeria?

The recommended retail price at launch was $449 which comes to about 80k even at an exchange rate of 180 to the dollar
