I would really like to see the E90 too, a communicator running on series 60? that would be interesting to use. I must say that Nokia is being more innovative and daring than
who seem content in rolling out one walkman phone or the other. It would be a delight to have an "communicator" with an I-mate form factor, running UIQ3

With only 20mb free RAM available for running applications, you are likely to encounter that more often as you run heavy tasks and multiple applications.
I get that message too on my E61 from time to time when multi-tasking, especially with the heavier applications.
Why Nokia would implement only 20mb in a device like the N95 beats me. The E61 and E61i too have 20mb free RAM. Ordinarilly, I would be content with the E61i, but 20mb RAM? What would be the point of adding a still and video camera and RAM limitation stays the same? Even the much older N70 has 32MB, for crying out loud!
That's one more reason for me to gun for the E90, whose specs say 76mb free RAM. Then, hopefully, I can say goodbye to RAM limitations.

@all: So I missed PNFs 500th page!!! who was 1st to get on it? you guys were too busy arguing Celtel palavar!!!
@AYA:
And gradually, the people awake to the reality that there are better deals available with the CDMA operators. As I have said before, for day-to-day use, running a regular prepaid GSM line is economically suicidal.
Thats what i couldnt agree with. If you took the time to try the task i gave y'all you would see how tariff insensitive people can be. You cant say that FACT: NIGERIANS ARE NOT. You may not be. I am definitely not. But the pople I deal with day in day out trying to sell CDMA phones are in a majority that is far out weighing those who aren't. As long as most people can give the excuse for not using CDMA like " what of when i travel" (when they spend most of the year in one town, or "what if i want to change my phone" (when they dont change thier GSM phones that often) they have to be tagged as being tariff insensitive. The offers that the CDMA operators have been giving aren't new. CDMA has been cheaper for a long time and it hasnt made a dent in GSM growth.

"Can be" is a different ball game from "are". Agreed, people can be insensitive. But most of the time, as I have explained, its ignorance.
Why, if people are so tariff insensitive, why do some of us claim here that every Tom, Dick and Harry are jumping on free night call freebies and free this and lower that?
How can you even suggest that too many Nigerians are tariff insensitive when many GSM subscribers own 2-3 lines for the sake of taking advantage of one freebie here and another there?
As said before, the PTO issue is due to past prejudices and info. Its a case of ignorance. Educate them and see the difference, as I have. Maybe its a location thing. Where I live, enlightenment is the order of the day. As the information filters, people do the logical thing and get lines from PTOs, whether for personal or business use.
There certainly exist Nigerians that are tariff-insensitive. But you cannot even hope to be accurate when you say "too many" Nigerians are so. How did you arrive at "too many" out of a country of 140million people? Provide your statistics please.
Still, I see your point about what I posted earlier. Permit me to re-phrase: "Fact: Nigerians are generally NOT tariff insensitive." That was what I meant to say; it came out wrong.
Nigerians may have prejudices that mean they esteem other factors above the price factor. But everything we see from day to day indicates that Nigerian are generally not tariff insensitive.

The E90 seems really interesting specwise. I also like the 5700 music phone too. Nokia has really been innovative and impressive with their range and latest releases. I hope they'll be offering a nice touch-screen very soon.

No doubt about Nokia's new drive, though the Nokia-haters will continue bashing them (as the SE-haters will continue bashing SE for everything possible too).
A touchscreen from Nokia would be interesting. They experimented with one some time back but it never made a hit. I guess they just went back to what they were good at after that and got better

guys(and the 1 0r 2 babes)..no vex o.im really tired tonight.dont have strenth to type.will try to put it up tommoro.put up some pics in the i picked up my n95 today thread.
Posted by brym!
Yeah! Nokia should realy salvage the symbian UIQ, SE has made a big mess of it releasing smartphones with heavy software failures. You begin to wonder if it is the same company that gave us the innovative T68i some years back. I saw the Nokia 6708 touch screen with an Abuja topshot last year, I was really hoping that Nokia would release similar models.

@Mariwun: Where is your N95 mini review?
This na dry Easter O, no promotions from any network at all.
No gist here too.
Anyone interested in a month old Nokia 9300? It goes for 25k.
Posted by mamba
@brym, any other phone for sale? I don't like the 9*00 form.

@mamba: Sorry no other. What are you looking for? Smartphones or the regular stuff?

@brym!: What I'm going to get next? You'll scream if you knew. Sorry, you'll have to wait till I get it first
I'm feeling particularly adventurous this time, you'd think I'm nuts!
PS: The offer is cash-down, to enable me execute my plans smoothly. I honestly do not have the budget for the replacement, so funds from this sale will help sort that out.

@AYA:I see you going for a different operating system since the E90 is not available yet. A Windows Mobile device with a qwerty thumb board?
I'll be shocked and disappointed to see you with a P990i. Believe me I'll scream if I see you with one.
Posted by mamba
I believe AYA is preparing to purchase a windows mobile. E90 is still yet to be released. @AYA, ease up with the price man

Sir, the E61 costs about 55k in the market now. 37k for a faultness unit looking almost as new sounds like a runaway deal.
PS: Mamba, PM your valid phone numbers to me. The one I have doesnt go through.

AYA is not waiting for "COMING SOON" device else he would be PHONELESS if he sells the esteem e61. But one thing i am sure of is that it must have a wifi.

If no-one takes up the offer, I'll simply keep the phone till I have the budget to upgrade/replace it. I'll still be bored though...

@brym!: It's not over yet now
Chill. Thanks!
As for the E90, while specs-wise, it is the top dog at Symbian so far, there are factors I wish to avoid if possible. The E61 has me looking for a device without a hinge - a device I do not have to open up to use. I wish the E61i had more than the 20mb free RAM for running applications. 20mb is just a little small (but even the E61i too is "coming soon"; so what gives?).
I want to stray for a change - get off Symbian and see what life is like on other platforms. Not much choices there - Windows Mobile, Palm (crap), and Linux, I believe are all there are. And believe me when I say that it is tough making up my mind.
Keep predicting!

Enjoying a freebie that entails you getting a N300 sim is a far cry from being tariff sensitive and investing in a N6000 phone

I have almost 4 years of experience marketing CDMA phones in 3 nigerian towns. I think without giving you hard numbers i can postulte my experiences with the thousands of people I've approached, sat down and gisted this CDM vs GSM issue. You seem not to understand that though you may be tariff sensitive and i definitely am, you cannot impose your rationality on to others. It seems you didnt do the last task i gave. here is another that might clarify things for you. Meet 20 -30 random people you know that dont use CDMA and ask them why not. Maybe that will convince you. The excuses you'd hear will mostly be laffable. "They are not in my village" or "they dont cover the highway roads" (when they rarely leave the town they are in.). "I cant carry an extra phone". (when they have 2 or 3 phones and are paying thru the nose for them) "Cant afford it" (when they spend in excess of 6k a month on calls and stand to cut thier phone call cost in half to 3k by mking the switch!!!!)
Try the 20 people and get back to us with the results. Then you can give us your "stats".
@pxth: there is nothing to blast when its the truth. SE hasnt come out with any innovation for a good while now.

Right after you give yours. You have taken a stand based on your experiences with people. I have given mine based on my experiences with people. Perhaps I should take to selling CDMA lines, seeing that it seems I have better results getting people to switch than it seems you do

hey guys sorry i was enjoying the easter hols anyway heres my mini review of the N95 first the gps does work well although it takes a while to locate your position..i am dissapionted that nokia want to charge extra for voice directions while navigating after paying £500 fo the phone everything should be free.the phone did hang alot doing the first 2 days if you picked the WLAN wizrd or maps applicaton the would just show the app loading up and the image would stay there for ages but there was no need to put off the phone because pressing the menu button takes u to the menu where basic things like callin and messaging work fine
pic quality is really good compared to the ones i took with my N73 back in d day its much better....no blue tint to the pics.but it stil lacks behind my 5.1mp cybershot which is to be expected.since yesterday the phone has been working flawlessley and i have been using msn messenger on it with my wifi for like an hour(although it keeps disconecting).the maps application is really cool..anywhere im walkin to i now use it
...lol(iv been getting wierd looks on the road).the webbrowser is really good and even manages heavy content websites.for the first 2 days battery life was really erratic il charge it overnight use maps for like 30mins(with wifi) and the phone would give me a low batt warning oe even restart.but now everything seems ok...im awaiting the fist firmware update...im so happy i didnt waste my money!!..cause ive been drinkin garri since i bought it... just to use gps to walk to tesco..lol
happy bday aya,how yal preparing for d elections..please stay safe and pray for our country o...cause na only god fit deliver us from obj and atikus clutches.
