jimihendrix: I wanted 2 really get d Z10 but dis expensive subscription plans is really putting me off, I'll just keep my money and enjoy my bold 4 until its dead
Believe me, if cheap data plan is a key factor in your consideration then BlackBerry is your best choice as you know and the BlackBerry 10 devices can use the same plan you currently use on your bold 4

anitank: No WhatsApp, user social, nuxtools, screen grabber for bb 10 series. Na wah oo
you need to update your OS to get Whatsapp, Skype etc. you also need to update your apps from the Blackberry world

BB10 has a built in screen grabber....just press the Vol + and Vol - buttons together. you dont need a 3rd party app

the native twitter app on the BB10 is quite good if you update to the latest version

mokholar: Wats the correct APN?
I'm not sure the moderators allow sharing that information on the site anymore but you can call airtel customer service to get it. Airtel uses only a single apn setting for their data services and it should be easy for you to find

Denn: main issue remains the buggy hotspot connection. happens when i use a VPN on my PC.... requires a phone restart to come back on
Yeah there's something buggy with connections.

I can't connect to my swift wifi at home because of its wep2 security but I connect with no problems to my office wifi that uses a different type of security protocol

My stand alone evernote app doesn't work. I understand there's a fix but I've not had time to check it out

Too many cool features on this version that I just can't revert to 10.1 again. I'll wait till 10.2 official is released to get the fix for the few annoyances

mokholar: I previously activated the unlimited airtel bis on my z10 and it didn't work. While i was waiting for a reply, i deactivated it and subscribed for the daily plan of 10mb. Its working now and i still have my 2gb from my previous plan. I just hope and pray that this current plan doesn't end today.
I use the unlimited plan without any problems or daily 10mb subscription. Just get the apn right and it should work

anitank: Since I got my z10 for about a week now, I haven't been able to answer calls except I put it on speaker or I use a headphone. If I don't do that, my callers won't be able to hear me. Please is it from the settings or is my phone faulty.
Looks like you have a broken mic. You might want to return it for a replacement

The networks in Nigeria don't really disturb you. You don't have to wait for them to push it out, you can just download and install using a pc

Because Etisalat blocks bis on BlackBerry 10, I have not used their data since I got my BlackBerry 10. I have been using airtel and glo

gykes: SkyDrive us way better and it's pre-installed on every windows8 device (lappy,tab, windows mobile) + it has its iOS and android versions (which can easily be side loaded to any bb10 device running 10.0, 10.1 & 10.2 and works flawlessly).

And it's security/connection speed is beyond compare!!!
i use skydrive and i don't understand how you came to the conclusion that its better than dropbox...

first off, to use skydrive, you have to have a windows live email or for those of us who are old school, hotmail as opposed to dropbox that lets you bring any email address to join the fun

secondly, there's a dropbox version for every platform Mobile and desktop even the Mac OS and yes, windows in all its flavors

thirdly, independent assessment has shown that dropbox, box.net et al are better than the proprietary cloud solutions from google, microsoft and even apple.
PhonesRe: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by walcolm(op):
So for all the new BB10 users. i am sure you have noticed an app on your shiny new BB10 called 'CONNECT TO DROPBOX'

in case you are wondering what it is, it is a cloud sharing app for saving files to a cloud drive so you can access it anywhere so long as you have access to internet service from any device.

all you have to do is log on to your 'dropbox account' from any device anywhere in the world and your files are available to you

dropbox gives you a 2GB cloud drive space for registering but if you use my link below, you get an additional 500MB once you install the dropbox to your computer.

note the emphasis on installation to a computer. it is because your computer acts as your master device and all your other devices reference it

http:///3X1B8UoH
click link above to get started (you can click the link from any device to register your account after which you then need to install the PC version to get the extra 500MB

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Age Requirement Is Unconstitutional by walcolm(m): 12:24pm On Aug 05, 2013
bishopjoe02: It is a usual practice by recruiting organizations to specify age requirements as part of their eligibility criteria. In most vacancies the maximum age for entry level applicants is usually pegged at 27/28 and in some ridiculous circumstances 24/25. After consulting the 1999 Constitution I discovered that this practice is unconstitutional as it is a form of discrimination.
Section 42 subsection 2 states that “No citizen of Nigeria shall be subjected to any disability or deprivation merely by reason of the circumstances of his birth”. Ladies and gentlemen your date of birth and hence your age is a circumstance of birth so also is your sex and ethnicity. Employers have been getting away with this constitutional violation because nobody has challenged the practice rather people go about doctoring their ages so as to meet up with these ridiculous age requirements.

The following are the only jobs that the constitution has placed age restrictions and these jobs are mostly electoral office positions;
1) President ; must be 40 years old...section 131 subsection 2b
2) Vice president; same as that of the president... section 142 subsection 2
3) Senator; must be 35 years old...section 65 subsection 1a
4) House of representative; must be 30 years old... section 65 subsection 1b
5) Governor ; must be 35 years old...section 177 subsection 1b
6) &nbspeputy Governor; ; same as that of the Governor... section 187 subsection 2
7) Members of the house of assembly; must be 30 years old... section 106 subsection 1b

Other jobs include state commissioners and special advisers to governors (which have the same requirements as those of members of the house of assemble) and ministers and special advisers to the president of the federation (which have the same requirements as those of the House of Representatives).
Bayelsa governor has then violated the constitution by appointing the 2013 Miss Nigeria pageant winner as a special adviser
