Alright, no need to vex. I will take your word for it! Though, I stand by my assertion that no pda can be adequate for a truly mobile professional. That is why UMPC (ultramobile pcs, OQO, HTC Shift etc ) and netbooks (like the Eee) are all the rage nowadays. And that is why sub notebooks are premium products because they are made for people for whom a computer on the go is not an option.
There's no vexation there. You will take my word, but still stand by your assertion? Please make up your mind.

A poll will help us to assess how the average joe on this board uses his pda phones.
A poll of married couples will also help us to access how the average joe treats his wife. And even if that poll returns a result that says most men treat their wives bad, it won't change the fact that I treat my wife well. The majority ain't necesarilly right.

I will never dispute your assertion because I simply dont know you well enough to judge your personality. What I know however, is that many people bring forth this kind of argument for two reasons; 1.) To justify to themselves and others the huge amount of money they spend on buying their expensive toys. And 2.) To be able to persuade their rich clients that buying ultra-expensive phones is not a waste of money.
Well, then you admit that you are speaking for others; and cannot speak for me or make assertions that question my submissions. Thankfully, I am not like those "many" people.

On a final note, I noticed your propensity to move from one phone to the other over short periods (just like I do) and that is proof positive of people who see their gadgets as toys. If you truly use your phones for work, I'm sure you will change them less often.
Two people may follow similar paths for two very different reasons. My changing smartphones at intervals is NOT proof any such thing. Of course, if your knowledge of how I work is limited, it is easy for you to assume that it is proof.
I could change my smart devices every day and it would have zero impact on my work. Ever heard of web-based apps, web-based storage, and web-based services? Much of my work are based on those. That means all I need is a capable browser (on PC, laptop or PDA), and I'm good to go.
PS: Maybe we should also include in that poll fields to find out how many people on this forum work with web apps and services too?
By the way, I change devices often also because I work in the industry and need to be up-to-date about what's gwan.
So, sir, if you are speaking about the majority of people, I agree with you. But most of my life, I have been different from the majority. Cheers.

@adrusa: I've seen a couple of ads here. Something in the range of N5,500 for a monthly subscription. No details though, as I really didn't give the ads more attention.

MTN 3G services here in Ibadan is very commendable, the Internet speed is fast enough. I am very impressed, so much that I am actually considering making MTN my main line. Does anyone know what the call rates are for MTN postpaid services? |

@2tek: Glodirect was thrown open to prepaid subscribers as well some months back when 3G came onstream.
@coola: I noticed that your online properties are no longer available. What happened?

@coola: I read the review earlier in the week but wasn't too impressed with the hardware of the phone. The software packs a lot of punch and is way to go for the future. I'm looking forward to better designed hardware running the android.
@2tek: Yes, Glo is accessible to all subs for 15k per kb. The cheaper MTN night plan may appeal to you. I couldn't exhaust the 3GB limit on this plan.
Getting activated for the daily plan seems to require a six hour wait these days. Today, I asked for activation since 12:30 but no reply yet. Haba MTN!!!

It is like Glo's network must be the worst nowadays? I recently acquired my tenth or fifteenth glo sim (where are the previous ones?!) and I wanted to add my mum's number to my family and friends list and I have been unable to do it for the last 30hrs. One out of 20 tries, the glo robot answers but does not recognise the digit input. Press 1 to continue and no response after pressing 1, repeatedly.
It also takes like ten tries to get the other glo line (my mum's) to ring. What's up with glo? Customer care never answer?! |

@adrusa: I gave up on Glo months ago! Customer care? I have not been able to dial through to them successfully in 6 months. GPRS doesn't work everywhere I have tried. Same for 3G. They seem to have huge issues.

And yet, some less than honest regulators will want us to believe that Glo has the best network?! |
