@pxth:you forgot the price tag!!!! N91k!!!
@coola: I suspect MTN is bracing for the competition from fixed wireless cos. With this unified license out and NCC pressuring them to be in 3 states in each geo-political zone in b4 the year runs out (however impossible as it may seem!!) MTN (and the other GSM cos) have to give offers close to, matching or better than the offers Fixed Wireless cos are currently offering. We’ll see when and what the rest do.

I was expecting a response from her from my aging women wise crack.
@amby: If celtel wants to survive till 2007 they have to come out with something mind blowing. But im still waiting for you guys to start lamenting on some hidden charge that MTN has put in their coolxtra abi xtracool package. This is MTN we are talking about. If they don’t do something evil, they would be out of character. I remain skeptical for at least a month. If by then you guys are still praising MTN I’ll buy a sim for when Im traveling!!!! (at least that will be my initial excuse!)

Price would be about 550 euros when they start shipping 1st quarter of 2007. But it is going to be more than 91k

Abu with this attitude, you'll soon become the only
lover alive. I have read the esato thread that compares the N95 with the P990, and so many
fans are praising the innovative thinking that resulted in that phone. We
enthusiasts need to accept the fact that the engineers at
have to sit up if they are to retain our loyalty.
The N95 is really a loaded phone, and a lot of rave reviews are already proclaiming it the phone of the year 2007.
At 550 Euro, its not too expensive. The P990 debuted at 600 euro

By the way guys, Celtel MMS is working again, and this time I think they finally got their act right.
What do you guys say to the hike in cross network tariffs of N14 per min for land lines (PTOs). I think I may have to jettison my intercellular line for a contract package on Glo, Celtel or MTN, and save myself the hassles of carrying several handsets.
@Aya: as a proponent of CDMA land-lines, don't you think this development will work against rather than for the PTOs?

I think the PTO's have to push their internet access and free weekend rates if they want to stay competitive.
The underlying issue is the new interconnection rates that the NCC has directed on all the operators. Now... getting a line from Reltel, Cellcom, Intercellular and Co has losts its appeal. I pity them.
If they push internet access and free weekend calls they will stand a chance. I am anxious to see how the new rates will affect Starcomms growth. They have crossed 400,000 subs... impressive.

@pxth: I heard the price being about $700 which should be about E550 which should be about N91k. Lets hope during final roll out there isnt any extra hike to the price.
@amby: i didnt say it was too expensive!! the P990 should be going for about N114k right now! But you should also look at the fact that touch screen tech is still a bit expensive. (hence the price of M600). I cant cough at the N95's
expected features. But I still maintain that Nokia makes good higher end phones (for the bourgois who can afford 100k phones) but SE makes the best phones for the masses (which constitutes majority of the phones moved). SE hasnt really put out any new stallions from its stable sinc the W*** revolution started. Lets see what thier next break through will be. If it doesnt come up with anything by 1st qtr then its future will be grim as by then nokia's higher end phone prices will start migrating down to smother the market. (which is a good thing to Nokialovers.!!)
I knew NCC had something up its sleeve when they were backing the PTOs during the fight over the Unified Licence. But this is just too bad! You would think Interconnection rates should be coming down, with the companies streamlining operation costs as well as they can. Why should I pay more for my local calls to other PTOs because GSM cos have higher op costs? (mainly costs of operating on highways and unvaiable areas). If care is not taken and the PTOs dont do something drastic, this might be thier down fall. Like Coola said, Internet and free calls may be the only salvation. And they have to guard it well cos if say celtel go crazy and start giving similar packages like monthly data access at similar rates, i think that will be the end of CDMA in Naija.
@coola: Starcomms crossed 500,000 active subscribers months ago, but really with this developement, the growth will reallt be impeded.
