But these internet rates will mean that you buy one of the desktop terminal and not any of the cool handphones ko ?
OK, MP3 wins over Camera. That was my choice too.
I promised Brixy an explanation on why we seem to gravitate towards politics.... here goes...
Where ever two or three Nigerians are gathered, it seems we only talk about politics. I am sure even in heaven and hell -in between the praising or the gnashing of teeth- Nigerians are talking about Politics.
Why?
It is because politics is the only booming made-in-Nigeria product today. The Courts are busy. The Police is busy. The Printers are busy. The Newspapers are busy. The Prez is busy. We all are busy. Thanks to politics.
It is proving to be good for our life expectancy. Politics is helping many old, expired, dinosaurs have a reason to live longer so that they can plot, fight and maybe win. (Many have crossed 70 years in the process... PDP Chairman Ahmadu Ali was 71 today!)
Besides, Naija life is boring. NEPA, GSM, Unity Schools, el Rufai, etc. But politics... ah

Ah coola, you've put it all into perfect context for me. Thanks.
Is El Rufai still a demolition man?

@brix25 and coolapostle: It's partly this new-found devotion of this thread to politics that keeps me from posting. I visit fairly often, but I certainly do not want to talk about politics, and that's usually what's on the table often. I was under the impression that we were here because of mobile phones. But - hey - freedom of speech and all that

@AYA: Your inputs have certainly been missed on this thread but with an election next month things will be hotting up in Naija. Will they even have an election in the Delta region with all the unrest that's been happening there? Heard that it resembles the wild west.

@Aya: nice of u to drop in again after such a long time. It isn't all the time that there is gist on mobile phones & telecoms, so in between tech gist, rather than leaving the board without posts, we talk about politics & personal issues or experiences. I believe thats what keeps this thread interesting.
Ok, from now on, less politics and more tech gist. Agreed?

I believe we have a deal 
But honestly, you guys just get on and enjoy yourselves. I'll chip in when there's something up my alley on the table.

@all: Esato's new look is very interesting!!! It will ake a bit to get used to though!!!
As about the deal for more techgist, less politics, it will be a hard hill to climb. once we start talking about why certain things are not available (network service, valueadded service, expansion etc) policy gist starts which slides to politic gist. any how, its all good.
Im still waiting for my savior wifi phone!!!!! |

Please mamba how did you normally 'tweak gprs settings to work for you'. |

@Angel, you have to find out if you have the GPRS signal on your celtel line first before trying to tweak anything. if it's available, there are couple of APN's you could use to enjoy free GPRS. |

I didn't realise so many people were staying away because of political gist, well welcome back to you all.
Quotes don't come out as before after the esato facelift.
News! Celtel wins brand of the year award. And to celebrate this, the company is giving half price calls and sms (on net) from midnight tomorrow till 6am on monday. Nice eh?

@amby: All these fly-by-night offers by the GSM companies is just a facade. Who will I be calling at 2a.m. at night? No-one who knows me will certainly call me at that time too - except on an absolute emergency.
Celtel came in with a lot of noise, but we see very little in terms of innovative delivery of services or pricing. I'm not impressed.
All telcos seem to have become lottery houses - instead of offering real value. It is sickening, in my opinion. But my opinion may not necessarilly count now, you know.

@mamba: I checked that guy at Ladipo a week after, he didn't have accessories for the ppc phones which raised my suspicion that the phones were stolen abroad and moved down here. So, I let it pass. Thanks for the info. |
