iPhone 5c - Unapologetically Beautiful.... and Plastic

I recently purchased the iPhone 5c and my-oh-my it's a gorgeous device and runs absolutely smoothly. Many would say it's cheap but it's not considering what you have to pay to get the device.

I've put up a short review of the iPhone 5c below for those you who have been considering getting one. The choice is yours after reading the review but i haven't been dissapointed using the device.

THE iPhone 5C REVIEW

Apple's colorful new lower-cost handset slots below the iPhone 5s flagship and ships with iOS 7. This is the first time the company's launched two new iPhones simultaneously. The 5c replaces the iPhone 5 in the middle of the lineup. 

The 5c is built from steel-reinforced, colored-through, machined polycarbonate that's coated in a glossy finish. Apple's last plastic handset was the iPhone 3GS in 2009, but it only came in black and white. In contrast, the 5c arrives in a rainbow of pastel hues: white, pink, yellow, blue and green, along with a matching set of cases.

Spec-wise, the 5c is basically an iPhone 5 with an improved front-facing camera and global LTE support. The 16GB model costs about N70,000 unlocked and the 32GB version ranges between N75k and N85k on some of our popular shopping sites (Konga/Jumia) and as such it's more affordable than the departed iPhone 5. It's obviously not the cheap iPhone some folks were expecting, and frankly, i'm not surprised -- it's an Apple device, after all. So does the 5c live up to the hype? Is it an improvement over the iPhone 5? Should you pony up for the iPhone 5s instead? Let's find out.

5 reasons not to buy the Samsung Galaxy S5

So Samsung recently announced their Galaxy S5 and I'm sure a lot of you brand addicts and most 'Big Boys'  in Lagos will want to lay your hands on it. But before you run down to Otigba and start putting your cash out, I think it will be necessary for you to know 5 reason why you.... really may not need the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Should OEMs Launch their devices in Lagos, Nigeria

Lagos is a port and the most populous city in Nigeria. It is the second fastest-growing city in Africa and the seventh in the world. The population of Lagos according to the Lagos State Government, was 17.5 million. These figures are however disputed by the Nigerian Government and judged unreliable by the National Population Commission of Nigeria. The latest reports estimate the population at 21 million, making Lagos the largest city in Africa.

Lagos is Nigeria's economic focal point, generating a significant portion of the country's GDP. Most commercial and financial business is carried out in the central business district situated on the island. This is also where most of the country's commercial banks and financial institutions and major corporations are headquartered. Lagos has one of the highest standards of living as compared to other cities in Nigeria as well as in Africa.

Now why is a city deemed the largest city in Africa not even on the list of countries where mobile phone launches are held? I believe we have gotten to a point in Lagos Nigeria where we need Mobile Phone OEMs to bring or at least hold a launch of their product on our soil.

We hear of Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Nokia and a host of others holding launch events all around the world but we're all left out in Africa. The only region that seem to see stuff like this is South Africa.

First i think these guys need to do some research on how Nigerians are mobile phone freaks and like to have the latest gadgets and will probably spend their salary just to get a device. I f you know this i believe you can make device ranges that would fit the budgets of at least 40% of Lagosians (that's roughly about 8.4million people). If 8.4 million people buys your device, haven't you made some sort of name for yourself??? Or gained some ground in sales????

So #Samsung, #HTC, #Motorola, #Nokia, #Tecno, #Infinix, #LG, #APPPPPLE, #SONY, #Huawei, #ZTE, #Oppo, #ASUS, #Meizu, #Xiaomi, #Blu and all of ya out there, give Lagos, Nigeria a try... I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed. We need you to launch in our city.

Let me know what you think about Lagos being a city where phone launches are held on the comment box below.

My Daily Driver - Six Months Later

Hello freakazoids, I'll be writing on my daily driver and the platform on which it runs and why i use it. I suppose the last item there is what you really want to know. I've been using my daily driver for about 6 months now and I tell you it's been the best decision ever, well that comes after my experience with a 'Fat', Ugly and simply put distasteful looking phone from uncle Sam that i truly cant remember why i bought it in the first place. Anyway that aside, I had to go for what I determined was the best option for me. This device is beautifully crafted and runs on one of the most popular and well built OS we have on planet earth currently.

Ladies and mentlegen.... Oops!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, may I please intorduce you to the one and only..... wait for it.......

I definitely had to do this

So it's been calling me for months, years, to do something about my almost insatiable, Vampire like need to just speak about and talk about mobile devices... Phones to be more specific, and i'm gonna do it with the dexterity and smoothness of a Kung-Fu genius.

I've spent a lot of time with a wide array of mobile devices, heck! in 2013 alone I used not less than four (4) devices (Whaaaaattttt!!!!), that's 1 device every 3 months if you care to do the maths and this is a way for me to give back to the public (the Nigerian populace),  information about mobile devices that would be helpful in assisting them make a choice when next they want to purchase one of those sexy, tempting, spanking brand new mobile phones they've been eyeing but aren't just sure if it's the right one for them.

My friends have told me "You don't have work" and I've decided to make it my work to do this and shame all of them. Yes totally shame them all. After all the Good book says "whatever thy findest in thy hands to do, do it with all thy might". So i'm gonna do this with all my might, and strength, and every fibre, and every cell that's needed to put words together to talk about this ever changing mobile industry.
