@Abu: The closest to the 5700 is the 5300.
Esato isn't very current on phones other than SE. You can also try http://www.gsmarena.com/

@area. ..my friend take your time oh. You want to acquire E90 and you are buying a cheap phone for madam. Just go and buy Nokia N76 for her. The design is spectacular. Spec is more than average.

Spectacular design? haba! I think this is a poor imitation of the Motorola V3 design.
My boss (world's no.1 Nokia 8800 lover) bought the N76 two days ago. It is first N series that didn't thrill me, not worth the 74k he paid.
So I played with it for one more day and I am begining appreciate some subtle finishing that only Nokia can deliver. Nothing innovative though.

For the past few weeks while watching a few foreign tv shows (NCIS, 24, CSI to mention a few) i keep noticing use of push to talk. That started me thinking will any of our service providers give us this alternative or will they just keep milking us for all we got? On the dubai stations, commercials for 3.5G services keep breaking my heart. When are things going to 180? |

You are not alone on that. I've wondered the same several times. By the time our networks deliver 3G, the rest of the world will once again have moved on about 2 or 3 steps ahead.
Imagine that as I type this, Celtel officially does not have an active GPRS (2.5G!) network in place. Haba.
Did I hear you say 'push-to-talk'? Where? Please forget that one. We'll probably have it only in our dreams - at least for another 4 or 5 years.

Introducing brym!'s N95 8GB...em actually my colleague's. She bought it for 103k and of course techy boy gets to play it. Great features; Nokia at its best! More gist tomorrow when I configure the gprs and try out other features.
@AYA: Better the networks take their time to roll out 3G, so they don't give us some sub standard service. We'll get there! Always 2 steps behind.

All the other services they took their time to roll out, did we still not end up with sub-standard services? Abeg, talk another one.

Celtel is not just connecting all evening inspite of presence of gprs signal. Anyone having similar experience? |

Hey guys, just popping in to salute my brothers and sister in Africa's most populous country. Can't believe you guys still don't have 3G. I'm writing this message looking at a little wi-fi tower atop my favourite restaurant happy in the knowledge that I can connect some sort of "broadband" service almost anywhere in this wonderful city. Things are not perfect though but there's quite some options for a fast connection...from the much maligned 3G to WiMax which is slowly being rolled out.
Hope Telkom does something with their purchase of Multi-Links...its quite weird, as they're expanding in Africa there's talk that MTN will buy their South African operations- including their landline network.

And if that happens, MTN will own MultiLinks by default?
...that would be MTN's second landline after acquiring VGC Comms last year.
I wonder when Globacom's landline and broadband internet will commence operation, not a word about it for over a year now.

@brym: AFAIK Telkom has split its South African operations and that on the continent in two seperate companies. That means MTN will only buy the SA operations of Telkom. This means that Telkom will sell its 50% stake in Vodacom (a majority) which will be bought by Vodafone. This will leave the new Telkom with enough cash reserves to make more telecoms purchases on the African continent which management has targeted as an area of expansion.
