mykali: this Android people sha....now wey i don dey enjoy ICS dem don carry Jelly Bean come out.

now my mind can never be at peace until i have that Upgrade on my G.note sad

the JellyBean will work on s3 right?
DEFINITELY Jelly bean will work on GS3 and it should start rolling out officially anytime soon.

Not sure your G-Note will ever get official JB especially now that G-Note2 is about to be unveiled but there will eventually be custom JB ROM that will run on the G-Note, hopefully

4llerbuntu: id like to sample opinions.

im interested in buying a mobile gaming machine. im not a avid gamer. my interest is pretty limited. i just like my PES occasionally.

between a PSP and a Phone like Xperia Play, which do you think is better? id rather prefer being able to consume content on it too, like browsing and movies. which is why im considering the fone vs the PSP

also consider the fact that im not about to start buying games by any means, therefore i shld be able to source games easily......


so what do you guys think.?

NB, if you know of a better phone (with dedicated controls or physical keyboard) pls recommend.
if you want to have other features beyond gaming, psp vita is the device for you.

Sony xperia play is a joke in my opinion

sajods: I subscribed 4 airtel daily bis plan on my unrooted samsung galaxy gio (android) 2 days ago, but to my upmost suprise, it didnt work on my phone but lucky enof, it worked on my pc.

My question is how can i get it 2 work on my fone? Im i missin out on anything?
have you at anytime in the past done manual internet setting on the phone? if you have, that may be the reason.

the airtel BIS works without requiring any configuration from the user

this is such an ignorant comment. the network providers sell all sorts of phones. BBs are just a part of the devices they sell

PhonesRe: Which Blackberry Phone Do You Consider To Be The Best And Why by walcolm(m): 6:41am On Aug 03, 2012
your budget will help you determine which type to go for.

the BOLD and TORCH series are more expensive than the CURVE series

my advise will be for you to avoid used BB and when you do buy, make sure the one you buy runs at least BB OS6. if you plan on using the device for at least a year, go for one running OS7 i.e BOLD 9900, TORCH 9810 or 9860, curve 9310

PhonesRe: RIM (BlackBerry) Falls From Top 5 In Global Smartphone Sales by walcolm(m): 9:58am On Aug 02, 2012
4bobo: Its like you just bought your bb and you have not really enjoyed it.
For your info, it has been listed as one of the brand that will extinct as soon as possible especially before the end of next year if nothing is done to improve their current platforms and situations. So if you like ,keep it as souvenir.
Why it may be difficult for the users is because speculations create results fast even in abroad unless they (RIM) operate on new platform that is better. If many people start abandoning them for other phones, as you know, smartphones are getting cheaper day by day (no thanks to android os)subscription tariffs especially in naija will be drastically increased. Then you know what will happen next.
how did you deduce i bought my bb and i've not really enjoyed it? wow...you must be a whiz kid. infact you should start your own divination school and teach people how to see vision

lipsrsealed rubbish

fyi..i've used all the top range BB released in the last 5yrs and i intend to continue using it
PhonesRe: RIM (BlackBerry) Falls From Top 5 In Global Smartphone Sales by walcolm(m): 7:29am On Aug 02, 2012
ok so the topic has made Nairaland headline, RIM is not one of the top 5 smartphone manufacturer

how does that affect any of you guys? does it mean your shares in apple or samsung has increased in value? or maybe you are planning a take over bid so you can own the RIMM?

oh, maybe your beloved Nokia or iPhone is now cheaper?

sajods: I jus subscribed 2 a daily bundle, but it not workin on my android
thats strange...unless you have messed with the settings on your phone in the past and those modifications are preventing your phone from working.

the Airtel internet works without requiring you to set up anything. if your android is spanking new, it should work. i use the same thing on my device and i didnt have to set up any funny apns blah blah
PhonesRe: Emergency Line 911 Works In Nigeria by walcolm(m): 7:15am On Aug 02, 2012
Rocktation: Someone just confirmed this! OmLawd!!!! shocked
Now I really hope that a lot of Nigerians won't go into test-dial mode and thereby, frustrate the operators until they become less efficient in taking calls. Cos they wouldn't know beforehand, the difference between a distress call and someone looking to know if they're for real.
on the contrary, i believe the more people try the number and find out it works, the more WORD-OF-MOUTH awareness campaign the emergency service provider(whoever that is) will get

logo77: I am "tempted" to go into the test-dial mode. But I won't. However, what does it take for statutory government agencies like Ministry of Information, NEMA, NOA and others to educate Nigerians on the existence of this number and how to make the best use of it?
are you sure the so called government agencies are aware the number works?

PhonesRe: Samsung GS3 Vs Nokia Lumia900 by walcolm(m): 6:48am On Aug 02, 2012
garbigarba: @op if you want a smooth, fluid easy to use and extremely practical device go for the lumia 900... It is a beautiful device to use... I presently use an iphone 4 and a lumia 900. Trust me you wont regret it.
On the other hand, the sgs3 is also a good device that packs way to much power than necessary and the os is not the best in its league, its awfully fragmented... Even with the millions of apps they can boast of in their appstore, more than half wont work on your device....
Conclusion : if you're not a geek you wont enjoy the sgs3.... And note, everything that can be done on the sgs3 can be done on the lumia 900.

And thanks guys for derailing the thread and making it a comparison between one x and sgs3.
very well put together response especially since you actually use the Lumia. your post shows authenticity. well done indeed

only the concluding part of your post is where i beg to differ....the Lumia cannot do everything that can be done on the SGS3. Although, those incremental are stuff that will be important to above average users rather than the majority of smartphone users

jedisco: Is it that you're never tired of being disgraced?
You want this to be the 4th time you would get some trashing from me?

I have replied you on this issue on the symbian vs android thread, but let me still hammer it down into your head.


I have said it severally that I'm not here to compare the two phones but to point out lies spewed by novices like you. Even if I'm going to do a comparison, it would be done on the basis of user preference
If you think galaxy is better for you then give reasons in accordance with your needs and just don't say its better because its better or because lumia sucks.

Lastly, since you're so eager to do a comparison, why not start by comparing the metro (wp) UI to that of android and ios. That would help me to really gauge your smartphone know-how


But just out of curiosity, can you tell me those thingS that galaxy s3 can do that no other device can do.
no fool, i'm not going to repeat myself and tell you things that the S3 can do. if you're not so daft, you would have picked up salient technical points from the various other posts on this thread to help your ignorance unfortunately you're deeply dumb, you cant even understand things you read not to talk of interpreting them

like i said before, i'm really done with you on this forum. you're too shallow for me to drag issues with
PhonesRe: Samsung Galaxy Pocket Vs Tecno T1 by walcolm(m): 11:58am On Aug 01, 2012
@rekeson,

if you read my post again you will realize i responded based on your comment. your comment implied that both phones had the same specs but the pocket has 3Gb internal memory which the Tecno didnt have

if you had listed the spec like Oge now later did, i would not have responded in that manner.

that said, there's no way you should be comparing a single sim phone to a dual sim phone. you should be looking at dual sim phones from Samsung to compare the Tecno to i.e. Samsung Galaxy S or Y duos

if price is the OP's only consideration, then a Tecno T1 with dual sim and dual camera offers more value than the Pocket, no debate

PhonesRe: Why Is Android App Always Heavy? by walcolm(m): 10:35am On Aug 01, 2012
android OS is the land of free. so developers are at liberty to put as much rich content in their apps as android hardwares can handle. that is why the android version of most apps you see on other platforms are larger in size

android apps offer richer graphics and better colors although the iOS still does a great job or even better job in some instances
