For BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 and earlier<br />
<ol><li>On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, open <strong>Options</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Status</strong>. </li>
</ol>For BlackBerry Device Software 6.0<br />
<ol><li>On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, tap <strong>All</strong>, then open <strong>Options</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Device</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Device and Status Information</strong>. </li>
</ol><div dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">The <strong>File Free</strong> field shows the approximate amount of available flash memory available for data. To make sure that this value is as accurate as possible, restart the BlackBerry smartphone to initiate a full garbage collection. For instructions, see <a href="http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02141" target="_blank">KB02141</a>.</div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">From the Status screen, press the <strong>Menu</strong> key, to the right of the green phone key, and select <strong>Database Sizes</strong> to view the number of objects and size of databases on the BlackBerry smartphone.</div><hr /> <strong>What is considered low flash memory?</strong><br />
The BlackBerry smartphone's Java® operating system has a complex and dynamic way of determining exactly how much available flash memory it should have before starting the Low Memory Manager application. To determine if it has low flash memory, the BlackBerry smartphone takes into account a number of factors, such as the BlackBerry smartphone hardware model, the operating system version, the number of installed applications, the frequency at which BlackBerry smartphone user data is added and removed, and so on. Generally speaking, the more the BlackBerry smartphone is used, the more memory the operating system sets aside for normal, efficient operation.<br />
<strong>Note</strong>: When the BlackBerry smartphone has determined that is has low flash memory, it automatically starts the Low Memory Manager application, which reclaims memory.<br />
<strong>The File Free field shows 0</strong><br />
When the File Free field shows 0, it most likely means that the BlackBerry smartphone is full of data. The BlackBerry smartphone determines that it has low flash memory and performs more extensive garbage collections in order to make room for any new data. However, even when the BlackBerry smartphone is full of data, it is designed to operate properly. The Low Memory Manager application starts recovering flash memory when data is added that requires additional flash memory.<br />
<strong>How the Low Memory Manager application works</strong><br />
The Low Memory Manager application works to recover flash memory by removing old and unimportant data; when the Low Memory Manager application is running, it does not affect the regular operation of the BlackBerry smartphone, so you are not aware that it is running. The Low Memory Manager application makes requests to all applications on the BlackBerry smartphone to recover memory. However, third-party applications must be specifically designed to interact with the Low Memory Manager application.<br />
The Low Memory Manager application makes requests of the applications on the BlackBerry smartphone in the following order:<br />
<ol><li>The Low Memory Manager application first asks all applications to remove low priority data (for example, transitory data such as browser caches). If step 1 does not recover enough free flash memory for normal operation, the Low Memory Manager application asks the applications to remove medium priority data (for example, very old messages, cached map data, and out-of-date calendar entries). </li>
<li>If step 1 and 2 do not recover enough flash memory, the Low Memory Manager application prompts the Messages application to remove email messages starting with those that are the least frequently accessed. </li>
</ol><hr /> <h3>How to maximize free space</h3>It is a good idea to take active measures to maximize the BlackBerry smartphone's available flash memory, and thus, prolong the time before the operating system starts the Low Memory Manager application.<br />
The following are suggestions on how to maximize available flash memory on the BlackBerry smartphone.<br />
<strong>Use a media card</strong><br />
Media cards are especially useful for BlackBerry smartphone users who want to store media files like songs, pictures, videos, voice notes, and ring tones, or who want to store pictures they take with the built-in cameras. Built-in video cameras on BlackBerry smartphones require a media card to function.<br />
To make sure the built-in camera is set up to save picture files on the media card, complete the following steps:<br />
<ol><li>Install the media card in the BlackBerry smartphone. </li>
<li>Open the <strong>Camera</strong> application (for BlackBerry Device Software 6.0, tap <strong>All</strong>, then open the <strong>Camera</strong> application). </li>
<li>Display the menu and select <strong>Options</strong>. </li>
<li> Set the <strong>Store Pictures</strong> field to <strong>On Media Card</strong>. You can also change the folder setting to the particular folder in which you want to save pictures.<br />
<strong>Note</strong>: For BlackBerry Device Software 6.0, this option has been removed. However a different location can be specified when the file is renamed after image capture.</li>
</ol><strong>Remove unnecessary items</strong><br />
Removing features and applications that are underused increases the available flash memory on the BlackBerry smartphone.<br />
<ul><li> Use the Setup Wizard application to remove languages that you do not use from the BlackBerry smartphone. Removing languages is highly recommended because it is one of the most significant ways to increase available flash memory.</li>
</ul><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"> To remove languages from the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps.<br />
For BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 and earlier</blockquote><div style="margin-left: 2em;"> <ol><li>On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, open <strong>Setup Wizard</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Languages</strong>. </li>
<li>Select the language you want to use on the BlackBerry smartphone and click <strong>Next</strong>. The BlackBerry smartphone deletes all languages that you do not select. </li>
</ol></div><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"> For BlackBerry Device Software 6.0<br />
<ol><li>On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, tap <strong>All</strong> and open <strong>Setup</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Languages</strong>. </li>
<li>Tap <strong>Manage Languages</strong> to expand the option. </li>
<li>Select the language you want to use on the BlackBerry smartphone and click <strong>Update</strong>. The BlackBerry smartphone deletes all languages that you do not select. </li>
</ol></blockquote>Remove underused applications.<br />
<ul><li> To remove applications from the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps.</li>
</ul><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"> For BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 and earlier<br />
<ol><li>On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, open <strong>Options</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Advanced Options</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Applications</strong>. The BlackBerry smartphone takes time to build a comprehensive list of the installed applications. </li>
<li>Highlight the application you want to delete, display the menu and select <strong>Delete</strong>. </li>
</ol>For BlackBerry Device Software 6.0<br />
<ol><li>On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, tap <strong>All</strong> and open <strong>Options</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Device</strong>, then <strong>Application Management</strong>. </li>
<li>Tap the application you want to delete. The Application Properties screen appears for that application with a <strong>Delete</strong> option to remove the application. </li>
</ol></blockquote><ul><li> Minimize the number of contacts stored in the Address Book on the BlackBerry smartphone.<br />
One way to minimize the number of contacts stored in the Address Book is to use the remote address lookup feature when you need to send an email message rather than store company contacts in the Address Book. You can use this feature if your BlackBerry smartphone uses BlackBerry Device Software 4.0 and later and one of BlackBerry® Enterprise Server 3.5 or later for Microsoft® Exchange or BlackBerry Enterprise Server 2.2 or later for IBM® Lotus® Domino®.</li>
</ul><strong>Delete old items</strong><br />
The BlackBerry smartphone user can delete old and unused items and also adjust settings so that the BlackBerry smartphone deletes old items as part of its regular routine maintenance.<br />
<ul><li>Delete Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages that are no longer needed. Because MMS messages can contain large media files and cannot be stored on a media card, MMS messages can use a lot of flash memory. If you do not want to delete the media files in an MMS message, open the MMS message and save the media files on the media card before you delete the MMS message. </li>
<li>Change the Keep Messages setting on the BlackBerry smartphone to reduce the number of old messages using flash memory. </li>
</ul><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"> To change the Keep Messages setting, complete the following steps.<br />

<ul><li> Use BlackBerry smartphone shortcuts to access common system features quickly. For instructions, see the <em>Getting Started Guide</em> for your BlackBerry smartphone. Using shortcuts allows you to do the same things on your BlackBerry smartphone more quickly and efficiently, while saving battery power.<br />
Some common shortcuts include the following:<br />
</li>
<li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul><li>To delete a highlighted item, press the <strong>Delete</strong> key. </li>
<li>To select or clear a check box, press the <strong>Space</strong> key. </li>
<li>To view available values in a field, press the <strong>Alt</strong> key. </li>
<li>To switch applications: <ol><li>Hold the <strong>Alt</strong> key and press the <strong>Escape</strong> key. </li>
<li>Continue to hold the <strong>Alt</strong> key and highlight an application. </li>
<li>Release the <strong>Alt</strong> key. </li>
</ol></li>
<li>Set the Auto On/Off option to turn off the BlackBerry smartphone at a time of day when you are not using it (such as at night), and turn on again at a time of day that you are ready to use it (such as in the morning just before you wake up). Battery power is saved by turning the power off at times when the BlackBerry smartphone is not being used. To set the Auto On/Off option on the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:<br />
<ol><li>On the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, open <strong>Options</strong>. </li>
<li>Select <strong>Auto On/Off</strong>. For BlackBerry Device Software 6.0, select <strong>Device</strong> then <strong>Auto On/Off</strong>. </li>
<li>Specify the on and off times. </li>
</ol><strong>Tip</strong>: Set the BlackBerry smartphone to turn on just before you need to use it, (such as a few minutes before you wake up in the morning) so that the BlackBerry smartphone has a chance to receive the email messages sent to you during the time that the BlackBerry smartphone was turned off. This way, the email messages have already been received when you are ready to read them.</li>
</ul></li>
<li> When a particular wireless connection is not needed, use the Manage Connections application on the BlackBerry smartphone to turn off the connection. For example, if you do not need to use Bluetooth® technology, you can use Manage Connections to turn the Bluetooth connection off.<br />

However, you can keep the BlackBerry smartphone operating at peak efficiency by maximizing its available flash memory. To maximize flash memory and battery power, you should know both how to monitor the available memory and what strategies help preserve flash memory and battery power.<br />
<h3>Causes for decreased performance</h3>BlackBerry smartphones based on Java technology depend on available flash memory for many tasks. Having low flash memory can lead to delays in processing information on the BlackBerry smartphone because the process for recovering blocks of flash memory, known as garbage collection, happens more frequently, which takes time. Java garbage collections automatically reclaim flash memory that is no longer being used by the Java operating system. Java garbage collections may also rearrange blocks of flash memory that are in use to create larger contiguous blocks of available flash memory. Just as a computer uses the hard disk as a source of virtual memory, the BlackBerry smartphone writes out lesser-used portions of its operating flash memory (normally held in fast static random access memory (SRAM)) to the slower flash memory. As the BlackBerry smartphone's flash memory begins to fill up, the BlackBerry smartphone must work harder to rearrange the flash memory to allocate the storage space it needs for normal operation. Therefore, low flash memory causes garbage collections to happen more frequently and take a longer time to complete, which also uses battery power.Davidnet http://www.blogger.com/profile/03650906019727050225noreply@blogger.com107tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216584186310968548.post-84319990103468361692011-04-04T13:11:00.001-07:002011-04-04T13:11:56.151-07:00BlackBerry BlackBerryMy dear,<br />

Is your blackberry phone come with a wap browser or none. The native browser does not response when u don't have money for BB plan? Don't cry again.<br />
Following this step: <br />
1) go to options and click advance options<br />
2) click TCP/IP and put your preferred network c<br />
onfigurations.<br />
3) you can downloads any of your preferred browser like bolt or popular Opera Mini. Etc.<br />

Here's the secret the carriers don't advertise: 4G is a myth. Like the unicorn, it hasn't been spotted anywhere in the wild just yet -- and won't be any time in the near future.<br />
<!-- REAP --><!--startclickprintexclude--><!--endclickprintexclude--><!-- /REAP -->The International Telecommunication Union, the global wireless standards-setting organization, determined last month that <a href="http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/40.aspx" target="new">4G is defined</a> as a network capable of download speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps). That's fast enough to download an average high-definition movie in about three minutes. <br />
None of the new networks the carriers are rolling out meet that standard. <br />
Sprint (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=S&source=story_quote_link">S</a>, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/snapshots/2015.html?source=story_f500_link">Fortune 500</a>) was the first to launch a network called 4G, going live with it earlier this year. Then, T-Mobile launched its 4G network, claiming to be "America's largest 4G network." Verizon (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=VZ&source=story_quote_link">VZ</a>, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/snapshots/2773.html?source=story_f500_link">Fortune 500</a>) plans to launch its 4G network <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/12/01/verizon.4g/?iid=EL">next week</a>, which it claims will be the nation's largest and the fastest. AT&T (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=T&source=story_quote_link">T</a>, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/snapshots/2756.html?source=story_f500_link">Fortune 500</a>) is expected to unveil its 4G network next year.<br />
Those networks have theoretical speeds of a fifth to a half that of the official 4G standard. The actual speeds the carriers say they'll achieve are just a tenth of "real" 4G.<br />
So why are the carriers calling these networks 4G? <br />
It's mostly a matter of PR, industry experts say. Explaining what the wireless carriers' new networks should<i> </i>be called, and what they'll be capable of, is a confusing mess. <br />
To illustrate: Sprint bought a majority stake in Clearwire (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=CLWR&source=story_quote_link">CLWR</a>), which uses a new network technology called WiMAX that's capable of speeds ranging from 3 Mbps to 10 Mbps. That's a different technology from Verizon's new network, based on a standard called Long Term Evolution (LTE), which will average 5 Mbps to 12 Mbps. <br />
Seeing what its competitors were up to, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/11/02/t.mobile.4g/index.html?iref=allsearch&iid=EL">T-Mobile opted to increase the speed capabilities</a> of its existing 3G-HSPA+ network instead of pursuing a new technology. Its expanded network -- now called 4G -- will reach speeds of 5 Mbps to 12 Mbps.<br />
No matter what they're called, all of these upgrades are clear improvements -- and the carriers <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2010/technology/1008/gallery.biggest_tech_gambles/index.html?iid=EL">shelled out billions</a> to make them. Current "3G" networks offer actual speeds that range from between 500 kilobits per second to 1.5 Mbps. <br />
So Sprint and Verizon have new, faster networks that are still technically not 4G, while T-Mobile has an old, though still faster network that is actually based on 3G technology.<br />
Confused yet? That's why they all just opted to call themselves "4G." <br />
The carriers get defensive about the topic.<br />
"It's very misleading to make a decision about what's 4G based on speed alone," said Stephanie Vinge-Walsh, spokeswoman for Sprint Nextel. "It is a challenge we face in an extremely competitive industry."<br />
T-Mobile did not respond to a request for comment.<br />

</script><!--endclickprintexclude--><!-- /REAP --></div>One network representative, who asked not to be identified, claimed that ITU's 4G line-in-the-sand is being misconstrued. The organization previously approved the use of the term "4G" for Sprint's WiMAX and Verizon's LTE networks, he said -- though not for T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. <br />
ITU's PR department ignored that approval in its recent statement about how future wireless technologies would be measured, the representative said. ITU representatives were not immediately available for comment. <br />
"I'm not getting into a technical debate," said Jeffrey Nelson, spokesman for Verizon Wireless. "Consumers will quickly realize that there's really a difference between the capabilities of various wireless data networks. All '4G' is not the same."<br />
And that's what's so difficult. The term 4G has become meaningless and confusing as hell for wireless customers. <br />
For instance, T-Mobile's 4G network, which is technically 3G, will have speeds that are at least equal to -- and possibly faster -- than Verizon's 4G-LTE network at launch. At the same time, AT&T's 3G network, which is also being scaled up like T-Mobile's, is not being labeled "4G."<br />
That's why some industry experts predict that the term "4G" will soon vanish.<br />
"The labeling of wireless broadband based on technical jargon is likely to fade away in 2011," said Dan Hays, partner at industry consultancy PRTM. "That will be good news for the consumer. Comparing carriers based on their network coverage and speed will give them more facts to make more informed decisions."<br />
Hays expects that independent researchers -- or the Federal Communications Commission -- will step in next year to perform speed and coverage tests. <br />
Meanwhile, don't expect anyone to hold the carriers' feet to the fire.<br />
"Historically, ITU's classification system has not held a great degree of water and has not been used to enforce branding," Hays said. "Everyone started off declaring themselves to be 4G long before the official decision on labeling was made. The ITU was three to four years too late to make an meaningful impact on the industry's use of the term."<br />

<div class="clearFloat">NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2009/technology/0910/gallery.microsoft_windows_gaffes/4.html?iid=EL">long-promised</a> and never delivered concept of bringing the Internet to the living room is finally here.<!-- REAP --><!--startclickprintexclude--><!--endclickprintexclude--><!-- /REAP --></div>Internet-connected TVs made up 21% of all television sales in 2010, according to a recently released report by NPD Group's DisplaySearch. Sales are expected to more than double by 2014.<br />
The only problem is hardly anyone is using them to surf the Internet. Just 45% of those who say they have an Internet-connected TV use that feature, DisplaySearch found. <br />
"It's not something they're looking for, but it's there," said Paul Semenza, senior vice president of NPD Group's DisplaySearch. "It's being included more and more as a standard feature in high-end sets."<br />
In other words, people are picking up Internet-connected TVs without knowing it or caring. It's kind of like buying a car with rain-sensing wipers.<br />
It doesn't help that accessing the Internet on TV is a maddening experience. There are a bazillion different options, from Wal-Mart's (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=WMT&source=story_quote_link">WMT</a>, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/snapshots/2255.html?source=story_f500_link">Fortune 500</a>) Vudu to Hulu Plus-ready TVs, to, yes, Linux-based Nokia (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=NOK&source=story_quote_link">NOK</a>) MeeGo TVs. <br />
None allow the user to just kick back and zone out like they want to.<br />
Only 57% of those that use the Internet features said they found the experience on their connected TVs "satisfying."<br />
The latest attempt, Google (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=GOOG&source=story_quote_link">GOOG</a>, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/snapshots/11207.html?source=story_f500_link">Fortune 500</a>) TV, has been <a href="http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/05/24/google-tv-no-thanks/?iid=EL">criticized</a> so much for difficulty of use that Google reportedly pulled its new TVs from appearing at the annual Consumer Electronics Show next month. <br />
Internet-connected set-top boxes have had some degree of success, including Apple (<a href="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=AAPL&source=story_quote_link">AAPL</a>, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/snapshots/670.html?source=story_f500_link">Fortune 500</a>) TV, which reached the <a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/12/21appletv.html" target="new">1 million sales milestone</a> last week. But stand-alone connected TVs are expected to be a big part of the coming CES showcase.<br />
"It has got to be easy in order to broaden adoption," Semenza said. "What's most crucial is that TVs automatically detect a wireless connection and quickly guide the user through the process."<br />
For those that do use the features, 57% are using it to access Netflix, and 47% view videos on YouTube. <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2010/12/31/technology/connected_tv_sales/index.htm#TOP"><img alt="To top of page" border="0" height="7" src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/money/images/bug.gif" width="7" /> </a><br />

<a href="http://www.technologytimesng.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/broadband-photo.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1681" height="224" src="http://www.technologytimesng.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/broadband-photo-300x224.jpg" title="broadband photo" width="300" /></a>Lagos. September 29, 2010. Nigerians may have broadband access as a right if a proposal that by an internet advocacy group that the government should provide subsidy for broadband access to citizens is adopted in the planned review of the National Telecommunication Policy.<br />
The Federal Government has set up a Committee comprising various stakeholders to review the policy and the Nigeria Internet Group (NIG) says its key input is the need to offer government subsidy to foster the rapid development of broadband services across the economy.<br />
President, NIG, Lanre Ajayi says that the group has made inputs into the review of the Policy recommending that government should provide subsidy to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high speed internet access to foster innovation and economic growth in the country.<br />
According to him, pretty much the same way government provides subsidy on petrol so that Nigerians can “put fuel in their cars”, it is now time to offer subsidy on broadband access because of its implications for economic development.<br />
Ajayi, who is also CEO, Pinet Informatics, told a broadband forum at the Nigeria Com conferences and exhibitions in Lagos that NIG made the input into the proposed review of the nation’s policy.<br />
President, Mobitel, Johnson Salako, who was also a panellist at the forum says that it has been issued its contentious licence by the regulatory agency paving way for the planned rollout of its services in the country.<br />
Mobitel, one of the three companies at the centre of the controversial 2.5GHz licensing tussle that pitted the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) against the Ministry of Information and Communications won a court battle to be awarded the spectrum.<br />
According to Salako, Mobitel has now been awarded the licence and the company is set for rollout before year end he told attendees at the first NigeriaCom conference and exhibition that opened yesterday at the Eko centre in Lagos, with 600 telecoms professionals gathering to discuss the major trends and opportunities in Africa’s largest market.<br />
In the opening sessions of the conference, speakers (including senior representatives of MTN, Etisalat, Starcomms, Pinet Informatics, Zoom Mobile and Mobitel) identified the major areas of opportunities in the market as: wireless broadband, infrastructure improvement, innovative services and competition.<br />
The imminent entry of Bharti Airtel following its acquisition of Zain Africa is creating a lot of hype and the major question is how the Indian operator will adapt its model to Nigerian market conditions.<br />
Alongside the conference, the exhibition provided many opportunities for the participants to discover the latest technologies and solutions for their businesses. Major companies such as PCCI, Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Networks, Corning and Huawei among others had stands there to showcase their products.<br />
The exhibition area also provided a great place to network in an informal environment, in particular in the refreshment zone sponsored by MTN, and at the Networking Drinks sponsored by Ericsson at the end of the day.<br />
Commenting on the launch of the event, Julie Rey from organisers Informa Telecoms & Media says: “it is a pleasure to see such support from Nigeria’s telecoms community to this event, as it is designed to help them to share their experiences and ultimately to provide better telecommunications services to the Nigerian population; we are delighted to hold this event in Lagos which is such a business hub in the region”.<br />
Today’s event will include sessions on regulation, value-added services, and subscriber acquisition and retention strategies, with more contributions from MTN, Zain, Globacom, Etisalat and other leading companies.<br />

It is also one of the hottest selling non-smartphones out there today. The hardware QWERTY keyboard and social networks integration at a budget price makes it a compelling device.<br />
This morning, I received an enquiry about whether or not the C3 could work as a modem with PC. The anser is a <em>Yes</em>, and here is a brief guide. Note that this tutorial is applicable to any other Nokia S40 device with modem functionality.<br />
You will need a number of things:<br />
<ol><li>Your phone</li>
<li>Nokia Ovi Suite for PC</li>
<li>USB data cable</li>
</ol><h3>Setup your phone</h3><ol><li>On your C3, hit the <strong>Menu</strong> key</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong></li>
<li>Select <strong>Packet Data</strong>, then <strong>Packet Data Settings</strong></li>
<li>Select <strong>Active</strong><br />
<br />
If you already have your operator’s internet settings, select those. if not select any of the settings there as active, then go to <strong>Edit Active</strong> and manually modify the values to your operator’s settings.</li>
</ol>Check our <a href="http://www.mobilitynigeria.com/quick-facts/" target="_blank">Quick Facts</a> page for your operator’s settings.<br />
<h3>Setting Up Ovi Suite</h3><a href="http://www.ovi.com/suite" target="_blank">Download Ovi Suite</a> and run the installation file on your PC<br />
Launch Ovi Suite and then connect your C3 to your PC with the USB cable. Once your C3 is properly connected, you’ll see a C3 icon at the bottom of the app<br />
In the left section of the Ovi Suite app, you’ll see “<strong>You can use your device to connect your computer to the internet</strong>.” Click the green “<strong>Connect now</strong>” link right below it.<br />
<a href="http://www.mobilitynigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/c3-as-modem.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium

</b><br />
December 3, 2010. To ensure that Nokia users do not fall prey to vendors of counterfeit devices, the world’s leading mobile device maker has opened an SMS warranty service through which Nigerians can tell the genuineness of the phone they are about to purchase.<br />
The SMS Warranty Awareness according to Nokia would focus on educating customers at point of sale before and after purchase of their phones.<br />
Nokia’s Head of Care services, Silvin Sinan explained that to determine if a device being bought is genuine or not, all the buyer needed do is send an SMS of the IMEI number, (which is available on the phone package) to 32053. The buyer will then receive an SMS that the phone has a 12-month Nigeria-warranty.<br />
According to Sinan, non-receipt of this SMS is evidence that the phone being purchased is probably a counterfeit device. The new system would offer Nokia users an easier way to determine if their phone has a valid warranty.<br />
He pointed out that the Nokia warranty starts from the date of purchase and it guarantees the user of repair at no cost and even replacement in the event of malfunction. Wilful damage of the device is however not covered by the 12-month warranty, the company says.<br />

to broadband civil right for<br />
citizens by 2015<br />
By Olubunmi Adeniyi<br />
September 27, 2010: Secretary-<br />
General, International<br />
Telecommunication Union (ITU),<br />
Hamadoun Toure, has challenged<br />
global leaders to make broadband<br />
connection a basic civil right for all<br />
people in the world by 2015.<br />
Toure threw down the challenge to<br />
leaders especially politicians, United<br />
Nation (UN) agency chiefs and industry<br />
heavyweights at the second meeting<br />
of the Broadband Commission for<br />
Digital Development held in New York.<br />
He says that “broadband is the next<br />
tipping point, the next truly<br />
transformational technology. It can<br />
generate jobs, drive growth and<br />
productivity, and underpins long-term<br />
economic competitiveness. It is also<br />
the most powerful tool we have at our<br />
disposal in our race to meet the<br />
Millennium Development Goals, which<br />
are now just five years away. ”<br />
The Commission outcome report which<br />
was presented to the UN Secretary-<br />
General, Ban Ki-moon during a side-<br />
event held in conjunction with the UN<br />
Millennium Development Goal (MDG)<br />
summit includes a high-level<br />
declaration calling for ‘broadband<br />
inclusion for all’.<br />
The declaration comprises a detailed<br />
framework for broadband deployment<br />
and 10 action points aimed at<br />
mobilising all stakeholders and<br />
convincing government leaders to<br />
prioritize the roll-out of broadband<br />
networks to their citizens.<br />
It was concluded at the meeting that<br />
any country that fails to embrace<br />
broadband inclusion for their citizens<br />
would get a stark warning in light of<br />
huge disparities in broadband<br />
affordability worldwide, which means<br />
that those who can least afford it pay<br />
the most for access, relatively slow<br />
broadband connection costs many<br />
times an average monthly salary.<br />
Also, while subscribers in the<br />
developed world, for example the UK,<br />
US, Canada or Australia, pay under one<br />
per cent of average national monthly<br />
income for a fast broadband<br />
connection, in many of the world ’s UN-<br />
designated least developed countries,<br />
such as Ethiopia, Malawi or Niger, even<br />
a relatively slow broadband<br />
connection costs many times an<br />
average monthly salary.<br />
Toure urges governments not to limit<br />
market entry nor tax broadband and<br />
related services too heavily in order to<br />
ensure ample availability of spectrum<br />
to support mobile broadband growth.<br />
“The new realities and opportunities<br />
for digital development must be firmly<br />
fixed in the minds of world leaders as<br />
a leadership imperative, ” he said.<br />
While receiving the report, Ki-moon<br />
noted the power of technology to<br />
inject new impetus into the<br />
development paradigm, adding that<br />
“ Information and Communication<br />
Technologies (ICT) are playing an<br />
increasingly important role as drivers<br />
of social and economic development,<br />
but it will take partnerships such as the<br />
Broadband Commission to ensure that<br />
those technologies live up to their<br />
extraordinary potential.”<br />
According to him, the Commission’s<br />
report is an important contribution to<br />
UN efforts to ensure that the benefits<br />
of ICT can further the United Nations<br />
goals of peace, security or<br />
development for all.<br />
Quoting suggestion of a research, Ki-<br />
moon said “In the 21st century,<br />
affordable, ubiquitous broadband<br />
networks will be as critical to social<br />
and economic prosperity as networks<br />
like transport, water and power.<br />
Broadband will serve as tomorrow ’s<br />
fountain of innovation. It represents<br />
the ripening of the digital revolution,<br />
the fruits of which have yet to be<br />
invented or even imagined. ”<br />
ITU forecasts a total of 900 million<br />
broadband subscriptions by 2010 and<br />
predicts that mobile broadband will be<br />
the access technology of choice for<br />
millions in the developing world,<br />
where fixed link infrastructure is<br />
sparse and expensive to deploy.Davidnet http://www.blogger.com/profile/03650906019727050225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216584186310968548.post-83210709337310364462010-12-02T06:35:00.001-08:002010-12-02T06:35:05.816-08:00Etisalat Upgrade network to 3G from dangote telcom group.Etisalat buys 3G unit of Dangote<br />
Group, plans $400m network<br />
upgrade in 2011<br />
By Benjamin Amu<br />
Lagos. December 1, 2010. Etisalat<br />
Nigeria, the nation ’s fifth GSM mobile<br />
operator today said it has purchased<br />
for an undisclosed sum, Alheri Mobile<br />
Service Limited, the wholly-owned<br />
telecoms subsidiary and 3G licensee of<br />
business conglomerate, Dangote<br />
Group.<br />
Both companies, citing non-disclosure<br />
terms, did not disclosed financial<br />
details of the 3G deal but the<br />
announcement ends speculations that<br />
they have been in talks as part of<br />
Etisalat’s vision to offer new services to<br />
its subscribers.<br />
The acquisistion also puts Etisalat<br />
Nigeria in the position to offer access<br />
to full use of a 3G licence alongside<br />
rival “big three” GSM operators: MTN<br />
Nigeria, Glo Mobile and Airtel.<br />
Etisalat also says it is spending $400<br />
million in 2011 to upgrade and<br />
enhance offering on its network.<br />
CEO, Etisalat Nigeria, Steven Evans,<br />
stated that the group is delighted to<br />
acquire the company which has the 3G<br />
licence, which is essential element for<br />
further development of the mobile<br />
broadband in Nigeria.<br />
According to him, “ we have placed<br />
strong emphasis on offering data<br />
services to all our customers from<br />
launch through enabling EDGE on all<br />
our cell sites throughout Nigeria. Now<br />
with 3G, we can further develop our<br />
data and mobile broadband portiofolio<br />
and offer our customers even higher<br />
levels of services. There is pent-up<br />
demand in Nigeria for broadband and<br />
we intend to be leaders in satisfying<br />
it ”<br />
According to him, “we are not going to<br />
make that same mistake. We are going<br />
to make sure we have everything okay<br />
before launching the services. We are<br />
going to work on our architecture and<br />
ensure that we have adequate<br />
infrastruture in place to carry out the<br />
services.”<br />
He said the group is not going to grow<br />
its capacity without having the<br />
capacity to withstand the growth, and<br />
thus added that it would cost<br />
$50million to roll-out the 3G network<br />
across the country.<br />
Evans said that the service would be<br />
launched before the first half of 2011<br />
in major cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt<br />
and Abuja while other cities would be<br />
covered over time.<br />
He adds that with this acqusistion the<br />
group would be able enhance its voice<br />
and data services while noting that the<br />
present 3G network in the country is<br />
currently not in standard with what is<br />
obtainable.<br />
Etisalat thus said that the group would<br />
run a pilot test to ensure that their roll-<br />
out on this platform meets every<br />
requirements before it is offered to the<br />
Nigerian market to ensure that<br />
customers gets value for their money.<br />
He charged operators in the country to<br />
enhance their radio capacities to<br />
support the submarine cables that<br />
have landed in other to supply quality<br />
data and voice services to their various<br />
customers.<br />
Chairman, EMTS, Hakeem Bello Osagie,<br />
expressed satisfaction with the<br />
acquisistion of the 3G licence and the<br />
professional way in which the<br />
negotiations were led by Chairman of<br />
the Dangote Conglomerate, Aliko<br />
Dangote and his team while adding<br />
that he looks forward to further co-<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For Nokia Siemens Networks, the new technology, LTE holds the key to radical transformation of wireless experience particularly in emerging markets like <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nigeria</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The company was making the assertion in the recent concluded NigeriaCom in <st1:city w:st="on">Lagos</st1:city> <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nigeria</st1:place></st1:country-region>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The company, also shared strategies on how network operators can equip their businesses to capitalize on the Nigerian telecoms market.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Addressing a press briefing, Head of North and West Africa, Nokia Siemens Networks, Mr Ben Hayen, shared the company’s view on the importance and growth potential of Mobile Broadband in Nigeria.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">According to him, “emerging markets such as <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nigeria</st1:place></st1:country-region> account for almost 80% of subscriber additions globally, clearly indicating their strategic nature. Local network operators face a number of conflicting challenges though while there is demand for mature services within the high-spend segment, operators also have to deal with a low spending power and a limited<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>infrastructure outside urban centers.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The advantage of offering mobile broadband/internet through 3G is primarily tapping into the broadband access market where the fixed has a limited penetration. For rural communities, the focus should remain voice services but also shared broadband access with targeted applications as the starting point.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Long Term Evolution for 3G networks (LTE) promises an exciting and radical transformation of the wireless experience, with rich and fast multimedia services of incredible quality,” added Ben.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nigeria</st1:place></st1:country-region> is a growth oriented market with immense potential for future technologies. This is clearly evident from its 40% year on year growth of mobile subscribers for the past two years.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Nokia Siemens Networks provides its customers with LTE-compatible Flexi Base Station hardware, offering a smooth evolution path to tomorrow’s ultra_high_speed wireless broadband. The company has been at the forefront of LTE evolution. It made the world first LTE call on commercial standards in 2009 and demonstrated this year the fastest LTE throughput on mobile device achieving 100 mbps. No surprise then that Nokia Siemens Networks leads the market with 15 commercial LTE deals.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Additionally on the Nigeria broadband front, Nokia Siemens Networks has contributed significantly to the Airtel network backbone resilience by project acceleration of 5 months ahead of time initial time line for Phase I (4000 Km) 2008 /2009 (Zain). This provided Airtel (Zain) the opportunity to be ahead of competition and to gain additional revenue within the period of early completion with the high level of quality and standards.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

unveils mobile broadband vision<br />
for Nigeria<br />
By Benjamin Amu<br />
September 30, 2010. Nokia Siemens<br />
Networks has stated that mobile<br />
broadband technology with the Long<br />
Term Evolution (LTE) would enhance<br />
network quality through upgrade of<br />
existing platforms in the country.<br />
Nokia Siemens told attendees at the<br />
two-day Nigeria Com technology show<br />
in Lagos that the focus on 3G and<br />
evolution to LTE for emerging markets<br />
like is to showcase its potentials for<br />
players in the nation ’s broadband<br />
roadmap.<br />
Head of North and West Africa, Nokia<br />
Siemens Networks, Ben Hayen, says the<br />
importance and growth potential of<br />
mobile broadband in Nigeria would be<br />
for both end users and the operators<br />
alike.<br />
“Emerging markets such as Nigeria<br />
account for almost 80% of subscriber<br />
additions globally clearly indicating<br />
their strategic nature. Local network<br />
operators face a number of conflicting<br />
challenges though – while there is<br />
demand for mature services within the<br />
high-spend segment, operators also<br />
have to deal with a low spending<br />
power and a limited infrastructure<br />
outside urban centres. ”<br />
According to him, the advantage of<br />
offering mobile broadband/internet<br />
through 3G is primarily tapping into<br />
the broadband access market where<br />
the fixed has a limited penetration<br />
(less than 1 per cent of total<br />
population in Nigeria), while noting<br />
that, “for rural communities, the focus<br />
should remain voice services but also<br />
shared broadband access with targeted<br />
applications as the starting point. ”<br />
Hayen has this to say of the<br />
technology: “Long Term Evolution for<br />
3G networks (LTE) promises an exciting<br />
and radical transformation of the<br />
wireless experience, with rich and fast<br />
multimedia services of incredible<br />
quality. Nigeria is a growth oriented<br />
market with immense potential for<br />
future technologies. This is clearly<br />
evident from its 40 per cent year-on-<br />
year growth of mobile subscribers for<br />
the past two years. ”<br />
Nokia Siemens Networks provides its<br />
customers with LTE-compatible Flexi<br />
Base Station hardware, offering a<br />
smooth evolution path to tomorrow ’s<br />
ultra-high-speed wireless broadband.<br />
The company has been at the forefront<br />
of LTE evolution. It made the world<br />
first LTE call on commercial standards<br />
in 2009 and demonstrated this year<br />
the fastest LTE throughput on mobile<br />
device achieving 100 mbps. No<br />
surprise then that Nokia Siemens<br />
Networks leads the market with 15<br />
commercial LTE deals, he adds.<br />
Additionally on the Nigeria broadband<br />
front, Nokia Siemens said its networks<br />
has contributed significantly to the<br />
Bharti Airtel network backbone<br />
resilience by project acceleration of<br />
five months ahead of time initial time<br />
line for Phase I (4000 Km) 2008 /2009<br />
(Zain).<br />
Hayen adds that this provided Airtel<br />
(Zain) the opportunity to be ahead of<br />
competition and to gain additional<br />
revenue within the period of early<br />
completion with the high level of<br />
quality and standards. Nokia Siemens<br />
Networks is continuing its contribution<br />
in this area with Phase II (550 km) and<br />
the upcoming phases with Airtel by<br />
managing the network for 2 years<br />
using experienced resources.<br />
The industry event witnesses<br />
participation from over 700 delegates<br />
with more than 35 speakers who<br />
shared their strategies on how<br />
network operators can equip their<br />
businesses to capitalise on the<br />
Nigerian telecoms market.<br />

Microsoft has launched Windows<br />
Phone 7, its latest attempt to break<br />
into the lucrative smartphone<br />
market.<br />
Until now the company has failed to<br />
provide a credible challenge to rival<br />
operating systems from Apple, Google,<br />
Research in Motion and Nokia.<br />
Mobile phone operators predict<br />
smartphones will have a 70% market<br />
share in just three years.<br />
Microsoft says it has made Windows<br />
Phone 7 more user-friendly, rebuilding<br />
the operating system from bottom up.<br />
The phone system's experience is built<br />
around so-called hubs that aggregate<br />
content like contacts, pictures,<br />
documents, and music and video. The<br />
content on the phone is then<br />
synchronised both with storage<br />
services on the internet and the<br />
owner's computers at home.<br />
At launch Microsoft's new phone<br />
system will be available on nine<br />
phones, and with 60 operators in 30<br />
countries.<br />
In the UK the phone will launch on 21<br />
October, while the US launch will be in<br />
early November.<br />
Fry approval<br />
Stephen Fry, the UK actor, well-known<br />
Apple fan and smartphone buff, made<br />
a surprise appearance at Microsoft's UK<br />
launch of Windows Phone 7, where he<br />
described the new operating system as<br />
a "joy to play with".<br />
Previous mobile operating systems<br />
from Microsoft have failed to make an<br />
impact with customers; their limited<br />
functionality, fiddly user interface and<br />
lack of applications to customise the<br />
phones had resulted in a steady loss of<br />
market share.<br />
The new mobile phone software is<br />
indeed startlingly different from<br />
Microsoft's previous attempts. This is<br />
probably most highlighted by the<br />
disappearance of the menu button; the<br />
company's old "Windows Mobile"<br />
software was notorious for leading<br />
users into increasingly technical sub<br />
menus to execute even simple tasks.<br />
Using the new software has a much<br />
more natural flow to it, although some<br />
key functions - like "cut and paste" -<br />
are missing, but promised to arrive as a<br />
software update in early 2011.<br />
Andy Lees, the man in charge of<br />
Microsoft's mobile phone division,<br />
called the system "a new beginning",<br />
with his team building a new<br />
operating system and user interface in<br />
just 18 months.<br />
Taking a dig at rivals like Apple and<br />
Google's Android, he told the BBC that<br />
Windows Phone 7 was neither a<br />
"closed system" nor an anything goes<br />
system, with the operating system<br />
providing a structure and coherent<br />
user interface for partners to build on.<br />
Mr Lees said he could not say for sure<br />
how many applications would be<br />
available when Windows Phone 7 hits<br />
the market, because so many were still<br />
in the pipeline for approval.<br />
However, key apps like Twitter,<br />
Facebook, eBay and railway timetables<br />
have been fast-tracked to be ready for<br />
launch.<br />
Nearly half of all apps would be for<br />
gaming said Mr Lees, and he<br />
announced that videogame giant<br />
Electronic Arts was a launch partner for<br />
the new phones.<br />
Rivals<br />
While Nokia's Symbian operating<br />
system is still the smartphone market<br />
leader, Apple has rapidly gained<br />
market share with its iPhones, while<br />
phones using Google's Android<br />
software are forecast to overtake<br />
Apple soon.<br />
Research in Motion, meanwhile, has<br />
seen its Blackberry phones gain<br />
popularity beyond its stronghold of<br />
business users.<br />
"There's a huge amount resting on the<br />
launch of Windows Phone 7 for<br />
Microsoft, its device and operator<br />
partners, and for the ecosystem market<br />
in general," said Tony Cripps of<br />
technology consultants Ovum.<br />
"If it fails to claw back market share<br />
lost to iPhone and Android, then<br />
Windows Phone 7 may well mark the<br />
point at which Microsoft turns its back<br />
on smartphones forever."<br />
Consumer success<br />
Microsoft is pitching the phone firmly<br />
at consumers, integrating it with its<br />
popular XBox live service for video<br />
games, and the much less popular Zune<br />
music service.<br />
Xbox live currently has 23 million<br />
subscribers, and Microsoft hopes that a<br />
seamless integration will entice them<br />
to take their Xbox Live world into the<br />
mobile space.<br />
The Zune music subscription service is<br />
currently being rolled out in dozens of<br />
markets, and will be available in the<br />
UK from the end of October.<br />
In the UK seven of the new phones will<br />
be launched on 21 October, while the<br />
US line-up will include nine phones<br />
that will hit the market in November.<br />
The software will be launched with<br />
established partners like HTC, Samsung<br />
and LG - three phones makers who<br />
have experience building phones for<br />
the Windows mobile platform.<br />
Another launch partner is computer<br />
maker Dell.<br />
Crucial for Microsoft's success will be<br />
whether the new phone software<br />
manages to surpass rivals in terms of<br />
usability.<br />
Ovum's Tony Cripps says the operating<br />
system shows promise: "On the face of<br />
it Windows Phone 7 looks to have<br />
positioned Microsoft on the edge of a<br />
smartphone renaissance.<br />
"Its all-important user experience<br />
looks to have brought some genuinely<br />
new thinking to a smartphone market<br />
in which all operating systems feel<br />
somewhat similar in use."<br />
In the US the Windows phones will<br />
first launch on the AT&T and T-Mobile<br />
networks, while around the world<br />
Microsoft has signed up partners like<br />
Telefonica, Orange, T-Mobile,<br />
Vodafone and SingTel.<br />
Microsoft hopes to build on the recent<br />
success of its Windows 7 operating<br />
system for desktop computers, the<br />
revamped search engine Bing, and the<br />
broadly positive review for its new<br />
browser, Internet Explorer 9.<br />
However, Mr Lees said that Microsoft<br />
had no plans to launch a Windows<br />
Phone 7 tablet computer. Instead,<br />
Microsoft would roll out Windows 7 for<br />
tablets to provide a full computing<br />
experience.<br />

Our nigaz telecommunications are looting our resource and the Nigerian Communications Commisions doing nothing to reduce the price of broadband internet of which in other country is common hope for the populace. At it stance the So called NCC are doing nothing to reduce the price of broadband in nigeria. But at God has it. Nigeria we have learn to adapt our situations right by developing means of get free by means cheat, freedom, ultrasurt,Gtunnel,etc. Now the latest is India web proxy. <br />
Some telcom have brought down their broadband tag with so many names: like lite badit for zain, lite eaynet etisalat, and Glo always micro. All thes data plan are N1000.00 with brandwit of 100MB to 150MB. For example;<br />
