Op tho it sort of weird, bt I respect others opinions n choices, if some one is comfortable using a tablet as phone or to make calls then others should respect dt too. Its d person's money, he's/her choice, their life.

You missed the point about instant messaging (whatsapp). On a 7in tab, your chats are easily visible to the person seating next to you in a bus. Loss of privacy is what's the concern here

That should be my concern. OP shouldn't say its 'not proper' for one to Whatsapp in public with a tab.

OP if the manufacturers didn't want it to be used as a phone then they wouldn't have added the functionality simple..... undecided Next!!!!

Who says I can't?

Have you ever had a project with the deadline approaching when you use every available time to do one or two things?

So if I have my laptop with me on my way to/back from work, and it's conducive for me, I can't open my laptop and do something?

In traffic and I just saw a guy using his laptop in a danfo tho.... He looks like he is working with Microsoft office.

Good day guys. There is something now that is very common among us here in Nigeria now, which is the fact that people carry a 7-Inch device or bigger about as a mobile phone. One example of such devices which seem to be most popular amongst users is the Tecno Droipad, and while this seem inappropriate, it also seems to be what most Average Nigerians have settled for.

I don't understand what reasons are responsible for this act and would love to if someone could explain to me, but yet I'm 100% convinced already that there is not explanation for such.

Its Just so so akward for people to call a 7-inch device "My Phone" or "phone" self, using it to make calls by placing the full 7-inch on their face, and collecting people number with it, or even using whatsapp with it especially in public places like a bus! cos 7-inch device is obviously a tablet!! And tablets where built to serve a different purpose from Phones.

I just felt like letting this out of my mind. Please if you are among them, save money and buy a phone! Even if na touch lite. And keep your tab at home. Or use it in private for other stuffs, not as a regular phone. Its not proper.

You said your 7 inch 'tab'...then you said 'phone' again.

Dude its a TAB which is Tablet. Not a phone. If it has phone capabilities...fine...make your calls using a earpiece...not by force turning the tab into a phone.
dude i tab is a fone.. ... .. . Online screen size separates it from others...... ... Understood.... ..

That is another issue bro. I went to s wedding last week and this chick was taking pictures with her iPad. She thought she was taking better pictures and was forming levels. I pulled out my phone, took a picture and showed her and she was amazed how good the picture turned out. This girl actually had an LG g3 which takes far better pictures than an iPad, but ignorance no let am. Tablets have cameras for emergency pictures only, but not for taking main pictures. That is why they all have low quality cameras compared to phones.
Simple reason - apple more respect dan lg g3 hence beta fr braggn

Even at the expense of taking poorer pictures and inconvenience in carrying about. If u ask me I'd say it's stupidity for someone to prefer taking pictures with iPad and keep her LG g3 in her bag.

""Phones are the better messaging devices, so if
you're going to be sending a lot of texts,
constantly checking your email or spending

Buying and using tablets to make call or other things outside supposed nt to be a problm but d way they are handled. Making calls with tab using earphone is very okay than placing it on one's face.
Let pple enjoy their money the way they want it. Or House has passed bill on preventing pple from using tablets outside ?

Guy I disagree with you here. . It about what's comfortable for you.

My new Samsung Tab 4, 10.1 has multi window feature which enables me play around with social media apps, and instant messaging services at will.

It's convenient for me and the multitasking is superb. . All I do is supplement my gadget with a small Nokia device for calls only, while d tab is for internet and MS works.
