@coola: i'm going to get you ejected from this island! How can u go for chinese?
He-he-he... na money cause am. I have equally met those who have used their phones for close to two years!
If u can recommend an SE with the specs I listed AND price, I will stay off chinese. Deal? 
When i tried a similar wifi connection, my problem was i ddnt properly make the phone on the modem a server while the other laptop its client/slave. As always, check online.
I tried and tried... no show.
Here is how I am using it in my office: I am currently using the lappy to connect via wifi to the office internet connection and then sharing the internet with my desktop using a network cable (cross-cable).
So the lappy is the ICS host and the desktop is the guest. Both are using XP and it is working well. I had thought the same principle should work with two lappy's using wifi. I think it must be a XP vs. Vista thing. Or I should create the ad-hoc network using the XP lappy (the host) and not the Guest lappy running Vista as I did. Oh well... back to google.
In other news...
>> Visafone now has 1.2m subs. Who can predict how long before they overtake Zoom/Starcomms?
>> Meanwhile Multi-links has pulled all the stops! I saw them selling their phones for -wait for it- ONE THOUSAND BUCKS only. I saw their marketers shouting themselves hoarse near a market here in Abuja. Be prepared for a surprise when they next announce their subscriber numbers.
>> I heard that DAAR SAT is set to start tomorrow. Not that it matters to me. I don't own a TV sef how much more Satellite.
>> Finally a controversy is brewing over NigComSat's plan to jump into the Telecom business as ANOTHER Government-owned Company. NITEL Part 2.

Apple iPhone look-alike
So Nokia have finally seen the light  saw years ago.
Touch screen is the future of phones.
Great specs though, but phone design is not original |

@all: I'll appreciate a heads-up when the Xperia X1 arrives in Naija, cost and vendor inclusive. I intend to get one ASAP.
Thanks.
@coola: Searching the Net for "pillars of marriage" or the like is an exercise in frustration. There are as many pillars as there are opinions. Of course, when you start reading what those "pillars" are, you'll probably find out that you already know more about marriage than many of those writers do. Good luck o!

@adursa, for more information on daarsat visit www.daargroup.com and as per subscription fee it'll be N5,500 per month.
on etisalat your guess is as good as mine about the roll out date. |

The Daargroup website is a study in shamelessness. That is one of the concern being expressed by some people about this daarsat. They can not even maintain a functional website! What a shame. |

@adrusa: it amazes me too, all that money to put up such a monument yet no regard for a functional website. And this is a broadcasting outfit!
Same applies to Reltel(Zoom).
@O'Yom: The Xperia will show up soon. It didn't take long for the Iphone 3G, Omnia, Touch Diamond and Touch Pro to show up. The prices so that you know what to expect:
Iphone 3G: 150K
Samsung Omnia (8GB): 93k
HTC Touch Diamond: 85k
HTC Touch Pro: 113k
@angelgirl: U don leave the premier ISP company?
