@brix25,may we share why u dislike nokia.
|
|
I won't say I dislike Nokia, just that I always try and support the little guy...For instance I hate Microsoft applications...they always seem to crash so I prefer either Linux or Macintosh...a Mac hardly ever crashes.
I think Nokia seriously takes the customers for granted releasing shitty phones every quarter which are basically a rehash of a current model... I think the worst line-up is their Series 40 phones...the biggest con I've ever seen perpertrated against gullible consumers.
It's basically the same phone with something extra added, a different cover and you've got yourself an overpriced piece of garbage. |

@All: Got some good news yersterday - my p800 'has been fixed'. That's what d repair guys say and I hope its TRUE! If all goes well, I should have it back today, though GPRS has been down here since the day b4 yesterday. I'll probably giove the guys at glo a shout!
@brix25: You hit d nail on d head about Nokia. They are d world's greatest corporate con artiste. How they get away with it is d mystery.

What is Glo-ing on here? In some parts of Abuja I get GPRS coverage but in most of ABUJA TOWN THERE IS NOTHING! I just made this crazy discovery. Am I the only one?

The GPRS platform seems to do a random dance. Shows up here for a couple of days, then moves - like the glory cloud

hi people, bn off for quite a while, had things to do down here. @aya,dunno why my esato posts counter aint goin up.It's stl on zero,I'm yet to have my avatar displayed despite the fact that i've chosen one. and again if i post from my phone it doesnt state that my message is from a mobile device. @brym!, i use a k700i also & i think its cool, i bought it cos i was lookin for a phone that will be as good or even better than nokia 6230, which a buddy of mine is hyping. in many ways my SE is way doper. did you get to upgrade your firmware b4 it got fapped, i'm thinking of upgrading mine but i've read a good number of scary messages on esato telling you the phone might jam in the process! the battery is the downside

I am posting this from a bus on my way back from Gwagwalada and found out that GPRS works along the airport road area all the way to Gwags. I must call Glo! This is unacceptable. Is it safe to conclude that THINGS HAVE GONE HAYWIRE since Glo started charging on the 18th? Our posts are down. GPRS is now like the 'Glory cloud'. And our FIRST LADY IS MISSING. Chaos and Crisis for the Glo WAP Pioneers!!!

@All. Good news! Greatest news!! My P800 came back today with the very latest firmware. That means better functionality, and I'm enjoying some already: full screen video and images etc etc. Can't browse yet as Glo GPRS is on strike here. But I cant get enough of the new firmware yet!!
@2tek: Your post counter works only when u post in d main SE & general threads. Posts in a regional thread (like Proudly Naija) or garbage and non-phone threads dont count  . Your avatar will show (but dimmed out) when ur post count hits 5 (I think) and show up fully when yu cross d 15 post count (If I remeber clearly). Also, d phone u use in posting is only acknowledged when u post to d WAP forum (it wont work on HTML lite)

Good thing u didn't go for the 6230.It still falls short of K700 standard. The display is 128x128 compared K700,s 176x 220. The mp3 is mono. As brix25 said "Nokia seriously takes the customers for granted releasing shitty phones every quarter which are basically a rehash of a current model"
Yes, I upgraded the firmware of my K700 from SE site in late September from a cyber cafe. You'll need the DSS syncstaion though(normally comes with P900/910 smart phones).
@AYA
How's browsing on a prepaid glo line? Any restrictions? My lost line was postpaid contract line which I don't want to renew. I only bought it for the gprs usage as I still have my vmobile line for calls and text.
