mcgboye: Thanks @seledafti. I've been online to see how i can do this OS upgrade, but it seems i'll need to install the latest software on my PC. I was wondering if there's someone who has been able to rectify it.

there's nothing to rectify that error...just a simple reload of the OS is all you need. it doesn't have to be the latest OS sef, you can just reload the OS you currently have using your PC

adexbols: Has anyone noticed that when you call someone using your blackberry and that person is on a call while your call waits, your blackberry does not notify you of the person being on a call unlike Nokia that shows you your call is waiting.

Any app that can solve that?

are u sure about that? to be sure you need to have two phones and make sure you enable call waiting on one. call it with a BB and dont put the bb to your ear when you make the call

lol...seriously, do people still chat on yahoo messenger?

cant remember the last time i bothered to log on to the yahoo messenger app.

there are way to many ways to stay in touch these days

Bawss1: But seriously Apple had better sort out that paint chipping problem because people like me can't stand such things on supposedly premium mobile devices.

there's nothing they can do about it...unless you get a case immediately you buy the phone, that's what you're going to suffer through...alternative is to get the white model

its possible its just a software glitch making 3.5G show up as 4G rather than showing as H+

soldprop: What actions can you take when you submit a proposal to a government agency, after which you have done presentations to the relevant management team, then you do the normal follow up(s) on your file, going with the pace (slow workflow in government offices) of the agency and months after you hear your proposal is implemented without consulting you verbally or an official letter?

the first thing is to go in with your lawyer...who will ensure all your legal angles are covered and act as a witness. also, intellectual property protection ensures you can sue them anytime you like if they implement even something slightly similar to your idea

Morning Nlanders,

oh ok...i get that error occasionally on Etisalat but usually a hard reset is all i need to get rid of it

Super Mods...can you pls do something about the guy being reported...investigate, ban or whatever you guys do....pls

texazzpete: The main reason why people are fanboys is because they are broke. They cannot afford everything, they settle for one...and that's fine and good. What's not fine is that they now feel so INSECURE about their purchase and have to make fun of and run down the competition just to feel better about their purchases.

So..rule of thumb. Anywhere you see someone call people 'iSheep' or 'iDiots' or 'seXbox' or 'gaystation3', 9 out of 10 times they are poor people.

you are yourself guilty of name calling on this forum....man in the mirror

texazzpete: It's not your fault you cannot read. Where did I say the commercial showed off S-Voice?

Samsung showed off S-Voice in their Galaxy S III launch.

I put 'Retina' in quotes because it's an Apple marketing term...but it's generally accepted to refer to screens with high pixel density that result in individual pixels not being distinguishable by the human retina from normal viewing range.

Smart Stay would NEVER be a headliner because it just doesn't work for many people. Palm swipe capture is a useless feature. it's much easier to take a snapshot with button press combinations...which is why Samsung that in too. Shake to Update is akin to 'pull to refresh' already existing in many iOS apps since 2010...and it has never been put forward as a headline feature. As a Galaxy S III owner (and someone who has helped a few other folks grab theirs), I have never seen anyone use that feature aside from using it as a bragging point or to demo multitasking. Real world usage? Nearly nil.

What makes your argument rather m0r0nic is that nearly all those features were headlined in the Galaxy S III launch conference. Even in the first Samsung print ad targeting Apple, Samsung took pains to list all these as killer, differentiating features.

Finally, nobody held a gun to your head to force you to buy Apple products. In fact, Samsung is even the one that you ought to worry about seeing as how they are negatively impacting all the other Android OEMs.

Want proof? I challenge you to name off head the innovative software/innovations brought by HTC, Sony and Motorola.

Samsung sheep

your own initial post quoted below for you to re-read and understand. i wont dignify your classless post above with any response. its a shame you don't have what it takes to have a conversation without throwing insults. whatever deep seated inadequacy you think you need to compensate for to get your point of view across and accepted is something you'll need to work out on your own. wish you luck with that

texazzpete: You mean like Samsung showing off S-Voice that's a clone of Siri....

Or Samsung showing off the Galaxy Note and SGS III's 'retina' pixel density that had been available on the iPhone 4 since 2010?

uzoexcel: Hi,I just arrived d uk recently and obtained a lyca mobile line..hw do I subscribe to a blackberry plan

you should be asking the lyca mobile guys

chucky234: This a failed theory that has been a circulation for over 4 years, I once bought Curve 8300 from AT & T with contract from their office in the US in 2007 and the 7th and 8th number is 02, five years after that phone is still in my house.
I also have a bold4 from T-mobile bought on pre-order with 02 as IMEI 7th and 8th number,your theory has been around for a long time maybe you stumbled on it somewhere in google.

i think the WRONG part of his gist is his interpretation that the Asia model (02/20) is of poor quality.

i'm sure you do realize that these hardwares are manufactured in various factories all over the world and OEMs like to know where what is coming from in case of large scale defects. it helps them quickly troubleshoot and avoid expensive PR woes

Mayorwer: pls can etisalat BIS work on android phone?

NO you cannot

bizzlemie: can i use this airtel BIS plan on my nokia 701

yes you can

Olaryeankarh: The difference is only 200 Naira. I've used BCM previously and now I'm using BSM. You still get the 1GB data. It's only on a blackberry you get limits on BSM i think.

correct. if you're using the data on a non BB, no point subscribing to BCM, BSM will give you the same 1GB.

rainmaker12: can that unlimited data etisalat work on oder fones?....have any1 tried it?

nope

besides, the gsm networks give loads of free sms and it will help keep txt message cost down for those who want to adopt the service

moonraker: Truth be told, To really really enjoy this thing called IOS6,

You need at least an iphone 4S. Anything below that would be

Horrific!!!

actually it will work on iPhone 3GS too but the performance definitely wont be stellar

Pretty002: tanx. Getting a BB 2 bridge my playbk means am having 2 pins. my playbk n BB phone. am in luv wit galaxy s111, can i ping wit my playbk thru its WiFi?

BB messenger works directly on the BB. the Playbook PIN is currently for video calling not for BBM yet.

Yes, you can connect your playbook to the internet using your GS3 data but your BBM will work from your BB directly

zandrobell: Hi there I have a blackberry bold and cannot receive phone callss or sms I have this error since yesterday phone not allowed MM6. Please help

are u on etisalat?

thelastPope: Hello guys,

This is a little info for blackberry users on how to identify the quality of a blackberry phone.

First of all Dial *#06# to get a display of the 15 digits IMEI number of your BlackBerry.

Example: 316725.10.4690216. The 7th and 8th numbers in between the dots are important numbers here.

If the7th and 8th digits of the IMEI number is 10 That means Ʊr  is manufactured in *FI* Finland with very good quality. If the seventh and eighth digit is 02 or 20, then Ʊr  is made in Asia with a bad quality. If the seventh and eighth digit is 08 or 80, then Ʊr  was made in *DE* Germany with good quality. If the seventh and eighth digit is 03, then Ʊr  was made in *FR* *CA* France or Canada with the best quality. If the seventh and eighth digit is 04, then Ʊr  is the limited edition made especially in *CA* Canada with the best quality in the world ... (y)

If your ‎​ does not fall into one of the above,:$ then Ɣöur  is made in Aba *NG*

lol...

i heard it was an upgrade but seems they are now back

coogar: a link to prove iOS 6 is better than ice cream sandwich? you need adult education! you are doing the equivalent of asking me to provide a link that high definition TVs are better than black/white TVs. the difference is clear

so which one is HDTV and which one is black/white?

i'm sure you know your analogy is definitely wrong. beside the ICS, the iOS is not a HDTV whilst the ICS is a black/white...a LED to LCD analogy is more like it

and i'm sure you know that the iOS is helped by the fact that it's designed specifically for the hardware it runs on....and just so you know, the only device that will give the best performance on iOS6 is iPhone5...4S and new iPad will deliver great performances but will not be anywhere near the iPhone5 because their hardwares were not built specifically for the iOS6. that has been the historical trend going from the different versions of iPhone and iOS


the android OS seems to suffers against the experience delivered by the apple package because there is a diversified hardware base from all comers and even different iterations of the OS itself

texazzpete: You mean like Samsung showing off S-Voice that's a clone of Siri....that had been available for half a year on iOS? Or Every Android fan going crazy for Jellybean's 60fps smoothness that iOS has had for years?
Or Samsung showing off the Galaxy Note and SGS III's 'retina' pixel density that had been available on the iPhone 4 since 2010?

Everyone is still playing catch up with everyone else

guy, this your post is packed with untruths... Samsung doesn't show off S-voice in 'apple' attack video and there's not even anything called retina in Samsung because 'retina' has probably already been patented by apple. oh btw, Jelly bean is all Google as you know

Samsung shows off stuff like SMART STAY, S-BEAM, SHARE SHOT, DIRECT CALL, SMART ALERT, PALM SWIPE CAPTURE, SHAKE TO UPDATE and the FLOATING VIDEO feature

if apple had been the one to innovate any of these features each one would have been a HEAD-LINER. They would have held the world to ransom and ask us all to worship them for their awesomeness.....someone else has innovated stuff they could not think off and they're feeling bad and trying to kill them off

Lord_Reed: @jedisco
FACT: Beauty is subjective

FACT: Units sold is not always indicative of beauty eg VW Beetle (old skool).

I have held both the iphone 4s and the GSIII and I found I preferred the aesthetics of the GSIII the plastics not withstanding. I have also held a Lumia and used it. None of these phones are by any means ugly but to say that it is rare for the SGS3 to be praised is quite frankly a malignant.

@Lord_Reed,

you really have time to be explaining simple, straight up English to this self professed expert on phones...well done btw
