@AYA: Please just follow your doctor's advice, rest.
Don't mind Starcomms, offering Treo 650 for that amount while Reltel sells a more recent Treo 700p for N25,000. Sometimes I wonder how Reltel source their smartphones. I know that they are sourced from a US Operator, Sprint but at what price? They are currenty selling Sprint's Mogul( a windows mobile 6 pocket pc) for N40,000. Now this device is just 9 months old and the GSM version is priced at N80,000. Is it subsidized by Reltel? If it weren't for those frequent data downtimes, this would have been my network of choice.

Aya, good thing you were spared any serious injury dunno what this place would've been without you?
PS: Have you guys seen MTN's latest financial results? Any opinions and analysis would be welcome.

@brix25: Thanks, my brother. I haven't seen the MTN results though. Should be interesting.
@all: Celtel GPRS has been so unstable these last few days. Anyone else experiencing the same? I'm using MTN for a change, and getting good 3G speeds too.

AYA: On MTN's Naija website I see them also talking about EDGE. How widely have they deployed this technology on their network or it restricted to select areas like 3G?

@brix25: EDGE coverage is a problematic one to tell. One, MTN doesn't tell exactly where this technology has been deployed. Two, there is no unique EDGE icon on mobile phones by which subscribers can tell when within EDGE coverage area.
During the periods I used EDGE-enabled phones, I noticed no extra bursts of speeds either, so I doubt that I have used MTN data within their EDGE coverage area.

@AYA: Just excited that you guys finally have a semblance of mobile broadband although I'd be the first to admit that speeds can be disappointing and the connection erratic with our local networks.

Thanks! I'm also not expecting too much from our networks here. I've seen how it can be, with the examples of the EV-DO services on CDMA networks here.
Anyone expecting mobile data utopia here in Nigeria is only going to get disappointed.
Cheers!
