Fring is a very beautiful instant messanger but it has no facebook community connection, slick also has same minus , Ebuddy is anothger good im but the minus is that you cant move the cursor to the middle of a typed text to delete any error made in the process of typing. What i dont like about palringo is it's black theme, I've not used mig33 enough so I can't really say much. When I started using im applications, I use to consider ebuddy as the best im application untill recently when i downloaded version 2.2.0 of Nimbuzz for my nokia e63, It's really a beauty to behold. I believe that any good im application must connect to porpular social network communities and sites that allow for chating (for me facebook and yahoo), it should also have a uesr friendly interphase Kindly post views on your favourite instant messangers. Cheers.

Most of them are free, and often offer more features than inbuilt ones. In their quest to fight the free browsing menace, many of the network operator are striving valiantly to make it impossible to use Opera Mini to browse on their network.Zain, mtn. You can generally only use Opera Mini on networks that have blocked OM by using free browsing tricks. Opera Mini is one of the most widely used Mobile Browsers in the world. It is extremely popular because it saves costs by being one of the browser with the best compression rates). It is also the one mostly used to implement free browsing methods. What alternative browsers are there for use on Nigeria networks? Which do you prefer and why? I have used / am using the following browsers, both Java & native versions (in the past): Jb5, SkyFire, Ozone,TeaShark, UcWeb, Opera, Digia@Web, Bolt. I find UCweb 7.0 (native) and Opera Mini 5 beta 2 serve my needs most, so I am using them more. What are you views?

Nokia: The Nokia store at The Palms, Lekki is one place to look. Another is Omegatron at Nucleus Plaza 18, Ola-Ayeni Street, Computer Village, Ikeja. Any others?

The introduction reads: <blockquote> The Samsung Jét (GT-S8000) is advertised to be smarter-than-smartphone. Unfortunatly the phone software is in some aspects not very smart. The hardware however, is quite capable. Thus nothing is more likely than using an open platform like Android to overcome the obstacles of the original software. </blockquote> The Jet hardware specifications page on the wiki also sheds some light on the device's RAM: 256 MB RAM (208 MB for CPU + 32 MB for baseband + 16 MB shared between both). For information purposes, baseband refers to the processor that manages all radio functions e.g. GSM/3G signals, WiFi and bluetooth. These are all under the control of the baseband processor. Effectively, the Jet has 208MB + for running applications. Sounds like something to keep an eye on. vanchi on "win mo 6.5" http://www.mobilitynigeria.com/forums/topic/win-mo-65#post-6 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:18:46 +0000 vanchi 6@http://www.mobilitynigeria.com/forums/ actually im new around here but I've been reading ur stuff around here for close to two years. i've got a samsung omnia currently running win mo 6.1 and i was wondering about the possibility of upgrading yo 6.5.. though there is no official upgrade made available by samsung, i do believe that there are certain tools which can make this possible....... got any ideas anyone?
