Na wa o!
This new OluYom doen't sound well in my mouth like AYA does.
@OluYom, what is the requirement for 24-7 gprs on MTN/glo and (price/month) for both?
i don't mind if you can help me with a quick review of the speeds of both services compared with CDMA like multilinks or starcomms.

@coola: MTN indicated that ARPU( average revenue per user) had been down in most of its markets which contributed to the lower bottom line...they had also invested capital projects in Naija and other markets which pushed up revenue but which did not have much of an effect on boosting profits. |

MTN 24-7 internet costs N13,500 monthly. Glo is in the same range.
If you want glodirect over 3G on your prepaid package, its N12,000 monthly, plus a one-time security deposit of another N12,000.
Speed-wise, 3G on both MTN and Glo is significantly faster than CDMA 1x. Infact, when I tested Glo 3G, I felt like throwing away my Starcomms 1x modem.

@OluYom, I'm currently based in Akure where 3G service is absent for now.
How about comparing GPRS with CDMA 1x?
Which is better in speed, MTN or Glo? |

Generally, CDMA 1x is faster than GPRS. it is difficult to compare current Glo and MTN GPRS speeds, as I haven't used Glo GPRS in ages.

That is serious! What are your plans now? Do you still intend to write on GSM in the future? Do you intend to keep the site going?
I had hoped to find some time and convert the whole site to a joomla site so that it is easier to add new articles. But, I just can't find any time.
I don't intend to write on GSM in the future. The industry has become boring.
Since the site costs me just 3.6k to maintain yearly, I will probably keep it going. I am open to any ideas. I can even sell it 
I also have a huge collection of newspaper clippings on GSM dating back to 2001 when GSM first came till date that will make a great site or product: "This Day in GSM History"

I also read that they are giving higher dividends to their shareholders this year. But that huge drop from 268b to 78b needs more explanation.
@All Did any of you Guys invest in the MTN Private Placement? I hear it was 1million minimum investment. Big Boys only! I wonder what the price will be when they eventually offer MTN Nigeria shares.

@O'Yom: Is Teashark browser running on your P1? I installed it on mine but it is not running, just showing a blank screen. |

I just downloaded and installed. It ran, but the menu isn't responding properly, so its quite useless. It seems it wasn't designed with touchscreen support.

You now have a P1?
PS: I sent you a Cellity SMS. Did you get it?
PS: I like O'Yom! Why didn't I think of that for my rebranding? Maybe I should be consulting you next time

@O'Yom: I got the Cellity buzz but didn't recognise it. I thought it was 419 flash.
Yeah! I got another P1 four days after I despatched the earlier one to you. Boy, you should have seen the look on my wife's face...I read it to mean 'only God can deliver you'.
I went back to the P1 because of the QWERTY keypad and RAM.

Brym,
I had a good laugh over that bit about replacing the P1i and your wife's response. I actually read it out to my wife, so she'd know that she's not alone. I suggested that between the two of them, they could form an Association of Mobile Geeks' Wives....
What d'ya think?

@O'Yom: She would prefer an Anti-Geek Prayer Band.
Nice lady, my wife and a real gift from God...who else can tolerate me?

I saw them yesterday but wasn't too impressed. I am using Gdesk as my UI so naturally I prefer themes that blend with Gdesk designs. I am currently using an iPhone theme and an iPhone Gdesk design. I will post a screen shot on Monday.
I am porting Gdesk on my wife's E50 this evening, I pray she likes it.

Why do you need GDesk on your P1 when you have 15 customizable desktop shortcuts? I didn't realise Gdesk is now available for S60. Where can I download it? |
