@AYA: the T68i goes for 5k, the s55 goes for 9k, the T610i is 11k. Which set are we to say should be pitted against the other?
I agree that the 3G is gonna be expensive. If the 2.5G services ar this costly, wht else is there to expect? At least with the arrival of 3G in Lag, Abj and mostlikely PH, there will be more 2.5 for us that are managing 2.0!!! If they give 3G sevices for free for 6months im sure a few of us will close eye and dole out 10k a month to continue!!!! Nigerians and our status symbols!!!!!!

@all: I think d ntwks(...vmobile in particular) should focus more on network coverage b4 considering upgrade to 3G, bcos they're still test runnin their gprs which has nothin much to offer yet ..but i believe one day we'll get there. What's up wit d Vmobile & Celtel thing?

vmobile has just changed its settings to celtel, i mean its Gprs settings, i guess thats all they wanna fix not 3G that you guys are talkin about, vmobile is still the best, take it or leave it, slow and steady wins the race, MTN just cut down her projected subscriber base! Why? Cos they re rushing no where, and their network capacity is suffering. Well i guess the celtel settings correctly this moment and i just posted with it.

@easydee, @pxt, @namzo: I fail to understand your dissatisfaction with Vmobile/celtel gprs service, I for one have enjoyed its availability for over 8months, and not paid a dime for it. Only today, they completed maintenance work on their gprs networks, and have given out new apn's. Right now, I'm getting like 14kb/s constant download speed for FREE, can you beat that? Yes, the service does not cover the country, but they aren't earning a penny for it yet, so why spend money on infrastructure that isnt paying?
To cap it all they've surprised me by upgrading to 3G. If you aren't pleased with what you are getting on Vmobile/Celtel, switch to MTN or Glo its as simple as that.

@Coola: I tot you said you wanted a phone with  That moto does not have I doubt if it even sports IR, not to talk of a B.I Modem.
You'd have been better off with the Siemens S55 Aya recommended plus you'd have had some change to buy airtime recharge cards.
@Abu: what about the theme creator stuff you spoke about? do you think you could cook up something for the W800/K750/W700? I have some pics I'd love to use.

The 9500's hinges gave way and my wife decided she would repair them AND KEEP the phone! So I got myself an E61.
My wife is yet to be sent the new vmobile/celtel settings. Anyone who has them care to post them here?

The new vmobile/celtel settings just arrived. Giving them a spin.... Pretty sluggish here at the moment. But at least it works 
@coola: what inspired you to pick up the c257? No IR, no BT, no mail client... In comparison with the t68i, s55 and T610 it just doesn't cut it (especially when looking at what you mentioned as your needs).
@abu: Point taken about price comparison between the 3

Well, I had to get the Moto because:
-The Siemens S55 was not available
-I saw a Siemens A60 and I priced it for 4k (which to me is fair for such an oldie)
-Only SE J series phones fit my specs and I nearly bought one out of frustration.
-ONLY SE phones had IR for less than 10k
-Most of the other sub-10k phones from othe manufacturers didn't have IR or BT. Once a phone had BT, the price jumped to like 13-15k
-The Moto has a really cool exterior and yes, no IR, BT, Modem
-The battery is wack too.... I am just finding out
-It has a serial-usb cable to send pictures/SMS/Contacts to a PC... that is what clinched the dealfor me.
Here is the pix:

Oh no coola, how could you buy that garbage phone...I mean, you would've gotten an second-hand set with the better feature specs at the same price. If I'm looking for a second phone there's no way it's going to be without BT.

@AYA: it takes a big man to give corrections and it takes a bigger man to accept them.
@coola: We go soon pursue to away from this thread o! Why, o why did you buy that phone? Did you buy it for functionality or Fashion? You still haven’t confirmed if you got the theme I sent.
@egunj: this abandonment is punishable!!! With all the companies giving free (???) gprs/csd in lag none of our lag PNFers should be MIA.
@Amby: the theme creator works with all 3. send the pixs to abu@awoof.com or sam_abubakar@hotmail.com. Soon i'll offer this service only to seti@homePNFers!!!!!
