I'm using E71 and N9 Pad.
I bought the Pad to completely take over from the Nokia but I found myself running back to it once in a while.
Reasons :
I could use free 15mb from Airtel or MTN for a week, multitasking between browsing (opera mini), chat (WhatsApp, 2go/facebook gateway), emails (my 6 email accounts are sync real-time so I don't miss a mail), open pdf and edit word documents, connect to company wifi, Nokia maps (which can be use offline without consuming mb unlike google maps on Android), wifi hotspot with Joiku, great audio, and most importantly long battery life even on 3g network.

True, my N9 can do all those except that I need to be recharging my battery more often and also subscribe to at least 1gig to enjoy what Nokia gave me on free 15mb per week.
And I still need my Nokia maps to navigate free.

By then the quality phones,the BB10s,the Samsungs, the HTCs and Nokia will be either sold at second hand price or handed over to younger siblings to use.

It's my opinion quite alright but don't worry wait till you start earning good money you will understand what I am saying. I'm not of talking of salary ooo, do you know some people earn double their salary monthly based on commission and some other stuffs they do plus their salary of 100 to 150k? Meaning they can spare a 100 to 150 grand for flexing per month without touching their salary. If you were one of those, a 120k phone is nothing.

Think big bro! Don't assume everyone is on the same level! If you had the money I tell you bro you'll buy 'CLASS' no matter how dumb it might sound. Some don't even have the money but still try to be classy.

Yes those who bought 3310 @ 60k and above thought so but they didn't downgrade to a lesser phone they moved on to the next top phone. It's called 'CLASS' .

Please answer this question sincerely and not just drag it for arguement sake, if your life suddenly changes and you started earning better than your present position let's say 500 grand per month(minus commissions and bonus) and you have to meet with clients that ooze top class and correct swag daily, would you still get a device considered to be low end and cheap like tecno?

Can a symbian phone run an app of 1.5GB size? I guess no, so stop comparing android's mutitasking to that of symbian. Android OS is RAM and CPU hungry! That's why even the tecno droids people look down on feature at least about 800MHZ of processing power.
You should confirm facts before making claims...

You must be kidding rite. You think even up to 1percent of Nigerians can afford to spend up to 70k or 100k on a phone? Or you think it is everybody's daddy that is stealing naija money? Nigerian minimum wage is still 18k the last time I checked.

You both are still missing the point. Check my first post on this thread.I don't have any beef with any Techno user just saying not every one using Techno today or any cheap low end device for that matter will remain using cheap phones. Their lives would have changed in few years to come same with their buying power (income earned) some would have new and better jobs, promotions, business boom except you have the belief that Man must remain in the same poor level for years to come. E.g I know a carpenter who was able to buy a car just after 3 to 4 years same with the barber in front of my house. Is that not levels don change?

I know what you are getting at.Your perception of people using a low budget phone is that there are all poor. That is a false perception. What will you say of a person earning millions but is still using a java phone(Someone very close to me is in this category).Electronic gadgets especially phones should be purchased base on your personal needs not because of your earnings.The more you earn doesn't mean the more expensive things you most buy.

Bro, you are wrong about my perception. I have a cousin who earns more than me but still uses Techno. Does that make him poorer?
My stance on this is derived from the fact that most Techno users tend to rub it on the face of other mobile phone users that they got a cheap lower quality android phone that can perform almost the same basic function as their expensive quality android phone and have wasted money in buying such expensive phones hence the need for starting unnecessary threads like this. Go back and read the original post on the first page.
This is why I am saying it's a phone crase that will still phase out.

this was your initial post, and your subsequent posts buttress your points.. You think only low income earners buy tecno, but like the others have said, it is all about preference. Same way we still have many high income earners buy 10k phones, not so expensive cars.. Etc.. One should not live according to the society but according to one's principles. If a 500,000n income earner does not believe in spending so much on a phone(or gadget),so be it..he should not be judged.

You just gave an example of your cousin who earns more than you and still uses a tecno,, you should have thought of that before your posts. Live and let live.

its all about class. tecno offers same or better functions compared to nokia, htc or bb fones at lower price. i wont say it is a fone for the masses but for the shrewd buyers.

rich folks hate tecno with great passion because it makes them feel stupid and at the same level with poor dudes. So if u want tecno, go for it. else back off.

Guys, for once let's be sincere to ourselves pls. you and i know that whoever buys a tecno smartphone does so becourse of the cheap price tag, not becourse it has anything special or advantage over the likes of nokia, samsung, htc, sony or even LG. I'm currently using a tecno phone to write this but the moment i started earning more i will definately port to either samsung or sony yes!!!, and i'm sure most of you using the phantom A1, A+, A2 etc have started from N3, why did upgrade? cos you have more money to spend. those millioniers using java phones you pple are refering to, they are not phone addicts like us they hardly use a phone to browse the net and open nairaland, they just make calls with their phones, but everyone you see in this phone section of nairaland would love to own the best smartphone money can buy and that phone is certainly not a tecno. that's exactly what mr. kevoh was trying to tell us.

Im a gadget fan ever since I was small up to now but let me know that I dont want to own the best smartphone money can buy. Even if I was earning a million dollars monthly. I want to the own the smartphone that will give me the highest cost benefit ratio. The benefit is set by me. I know what I want to use the phone for. The fone that is reliable and provides all those benefits is my choice phone.

There is nothing special about streaming music free off the internet. There is spotify, pandora, tunein etc now besides, I have been streaming music since the days of using my bold 2.

And yes, lumia is crap. For an exercise, trying sending two attachments (any document besides pictures) to any email of your choice. Duh!! It isnt possible. And so many other lumia limitations. And doesnt tell me it works with skydrive because sending link of files in the cloud is just plain dumb. I wouldnt open such. VIRUSES VIRUSES VIRUSES
