These ailing companies are looking at Africa because of the fierce competition in the smartphone market and the decline in PC sales. 3 Likes |

blackchild09: just checked the phone review its a good phone for beginners and relatively low price so they should sell a lil, but then do they have stuffs they can catch young peeps attention games, instagram etc on.windows os?That's the point. Developers aren't with that platform. So buyers will just be stocked with the phone. Microsoft is just struggling to stay in the market. m.cnet.com/news/for-dell-lessons-from-microsofts-nokia-deal/57567683 |

forget story. this will not sell Jack in Nigeria. the used phone market will not let it. 150 dollar phone plus imports ands profit mark up will be nearly 35-40k we don't do mobile financing by telcos here. but unfortunately a much better phone with a better usage profile can be bought for that price. I.e a gs2. why would you buy this huawei for 35-50k when u can have a easily hackble android with better rep, enough Apps and games and a thriving piracy community? worse still its not like the build quality and specs on this phones will be anything worthwhile. and even worse there are countless budget androids that sell for less, eg those popular Techno phones. android is the biggest problem every other phone os has. u can criticise it all u want, the concept is simply on point. 2 Likes |

then again Nokia is the king of the low end but that's not a smart phone low end. its was dumb phones below 10k and symbian phones for 20-30k and even that range has been eroded by budget droids. are they going to make sub 10k smart phones? nope |

@ 4llerbuntu, good point there. you just can't best the uniqueness of Android. I have two friends that got the Nokia windows phone and they are seriously regretting it. the low cost windows phone will have sub par functionality and will still require zune ( in this day and age.? ). my first Android phone was 20K and I was performing wonderful and amazing things with it. I have gone through their app store; is very depressing. considering you can't side load apps on a widows phone, why waste time and money? |
Re: Huawei 4Afrika Phone By Huawei & Microsoft For Africa by Nobody: 10:38pm On Feb 05, 2013 |
windows mobile knw they are losing it that's why they come up with cheap mid range smartphone @4ller if it's more than 30k for the phone I agree with you no body will buy it, so you can't even side load apps and I was reading some where earlier a dude was complaining about there App store that most apps will say not available in this region Even there official twitter app |

Another means to extort African with poor phones,Huawei made a big mistake with this move because BB and androids will not give them privilege to sell this scrap called phone to gullible Nigerians. |

4llerbuntu: ok...and maybe you have been staying in antartica.... Walked down a street in Naija and counted the number of low end phones...Actual tally... Techno-- 13 Nokia--5 Others (huawei, zte)-2 Do an actual survey and see the response...maybe you were talking about nokia of 2008, techno has beat them to their game. Nokia came with 1 good battery, techno bettered it with 2 good batteries...lol 2 Likes |

Am i the only one that sees it from a different angle? I'm an android fan but as a developer, i see this as an opportunity. I know the phone will come pre-loaded with apps developed by africans so i see this as a way for Nigerians to build something cool. 6 Likes |

claycares: These ailing companies are looking at Africa because of the fierce competition in the smartphone market and the decline in PC sales. Huawei ailing? Lawd, ignorance is a real disease! You're talking about one of the largest manufacturers of telecommunications equipment in the WORLD. ALL GSM operators in Nigeria and a lot of foreign service providers use their access and core network elements. And Microsoft? Yet you call them ailing? 2 Likes |
