Speak for yourself.
The iPhone is the most successful and expensive non-luxury phone. Hope you know the nexus 4 has no hope of selling close to it?
If you have an amount to spend on a phone, then do it without complaining of people who spend more.
who told i get a fone cus the whole population uses it.i aint like u nigerians..the nexus to me is such a nice phone full body antiscratch even ur so calld iphone 5 cant do dat..wonna get some complains go to gsmareana and get ppls review of the so calld iphone 5,lots of complain....to me i do love the nexus cus u have free access to all google apps and i mean all of it.nt other products of android that are abit restricted to some particular appz.and yes the iphone remains the costliest fone...the hike on it is jst too much,bt yet it still cnt beat powerful fones like motorola droid raxr maxx hd,lg optimus G,or even the htc one x+ ..my advise check the specs b4 talking.*peace*

I don't need to google it to give you not just exact numbers but dates. Not even iOS which has more apps than android is anything close to 1 million. Also the number you gave for windows phone is horribly wrong or are you just making guesses?
hahaha well i actually guessed it.i think the android total apps is like 550,000 or more.and the microsoft is lile 100,000 my bad.*peace*

jedisco: @op take away the asha, it's not part of their name.

Just to clarify some issues.

The device will be available in December.

Lumia 920 can be pre-ordered for 105,000k while 820 for 82,000k from any MTN center nationwide.

The pre-order comes with a free wireless charger and 6 months free internet data.

The device is exclusive to MTN for 3 months but comes unlocked so can be used with any sim.
The fact that the pre-order is exclusive to MTN only makes it a bad market for Nokia. Its like they are not yet ready to fit into the growing competition in the Smart phone segment of the economy. I can't imagine an unlocked phone/device to be tied to a single service provider (MTN) where there are others on the line.

If you think you prefer a particular phone, then go on with it. You don't need to troll every other phone which is not your choice.
Early released iPhone 5 may have had issues but have you ever wondered why it has one of the highest user rating much better than what you listed?


Now to your spec trash, I'm still wondering what you use to gauge power and how those phones are more powerful than iPhone.

The thing with most android users is that you are always looking at specs without understanding them. iPhone 5 has just about a 1.3GHz processor and 1GB of RAM but I'm still yet to see any android device that outperforms it. The best you can get is something comparable.

If you still want more examples, I can go on and give you examples of devices with lower sized batteries or 5MP cameras doing better than those with larger sized batteries or 8MP cameras respectively. Or even 1GB RAM dual core devices performing better than 2GB quad core devices.
So when next you want to compare specs, make sure you understand them and how they affect performance cos without that, they are useless.


And FYI, I don't use an iPhone.

Tied to MTN means that MTN has the exclusive right to market the phones for 3 months. You subsequently will be able to buy them from different vendors after this period. Since the phones are not sim- or netlocked, it's actually no biggie. Buy from MTN and use it with the Network of your choice.

Why am i not moved by all these? if you like, launch another 1 with mini pressing iron, all na effizy.
Mayb when 1 comes at a cheaper rate dt will provide me with electricity when PHCN strikes, i may consider it.

Remember in the 90's when dt big satelite dish use to be the hallmark of big boyism? or that big NOKIA communicatior early 2000? Life is in phases, men are in sizes. All these buzz will go away and anoda 1 will come b4 u say Jack, so, if u nid 1 and u have the doe, go ahead, for me, i get 2 correct phones dt are serving me well, wen they are tired, i will buy another 1.

You yourself have not be neutral. There is more than Google in the mobile world. Neither Google nor Apple are the Alpha and Omega. Igba kan nlo, igba kan nbo l'aiye yi o. If there is any OEM taking Android to new height, it has been Samsung. Not Motorola, not LG or the host of them. Samsung has brought a lot of the things we used to take for granted like hand writing recognition in the days of windows mobile and Palm OS. The iPhone phenomenal destroyed all that. Now, non of this finger friendly Smartphones allow for the use of stylus except the Note brand of Samsung. Despite all the finger friendliness of the modern displays, there are times I wished I could have my Stylus back. Anyway, let me just quit whining about the good old smartphone era, when we were a small gadget freaky elite. Now, every dick and harry has a smartphone.

That is the issue. Since it is factory unlocked, it should be readily available from every service providers as this will ultimately boost Nokia spread easily. Think about this! Thank you.

Well, that is not very true because, I for one, even though I love high tech technology but, I have 'never' use any form of smart phone, not that I cannot afford one (at least, there are less than N20,000 smart phone, no matter how low its specs may be) but, because they don't move me one bit. In as much as I am not complaining with the type or nature of phone I'm using, so, there is no big deal about smart whatever.

why do u talk like specs matter. the real deal is what matters and trust me android has far more issues than even windows phone OS. and dnt go there cz i used all oses. The smoothest are ios and windows. Android even with its latest processor (quad) still lags as compared to dual core apple processors and snapdragon which work perfectly wt ios and windows. The only thing android is good at is customization and that about rounds up the argument. Specs are really nothing if u ask me...theyre just numbers...and to clarify issues, apple has about 700k apps and android struggles about 500k-600k. thats very accurate news. besides how many apps u wan use for phone. most of the apps on the play are duplicates. i need just 1 for a particular purpose. thats where peeps get it wrong. for me the lumia 920 beats all current phones in terms of evolution and tech...and no b by hearsay. there is more than enough proof

I dont that arguement count much really. Except you dont like MTN abd the fact that Nigeria as it is... There actually a big advantage of economy of scale provided by MTN that can not be adequately matched by any other vendor in Nigeria. MTN can buy cheaper due to volume and sell at a price advantage than any other provider. As they seem to be selling the phone unlocked, this would actually help to make it penetrate the market much better than let's say GLO. The price for the L920 is quite cheap compare to the price charged here where I live or even the UK. Only the L820 is much pricier than we have here.
