Don't dharau the Chinese.China is a one stop factory where you can buy anything you want from the highest quality to River Road quality. Unfortunately most of what comes to Africa is river road quality, but China is not to be blamed but our regulatory authorities i.e, KEBS, KRA et al.

@jguru, How does one buy from ebay? I'm interested in a smart phone. I currently have a N6303c.

@Mozenrat,
15K for D780 should be on the higher side.Actually,that's the price of D880 which has better features.B7752 is pricey but a buddy of mine bought one and it croaked inside a month.It's still with the dealers being sorted out.

Wifey got me a dirt cheap Nokia C5 for 4500/-

It's got all the bells, whistles and gizmos (bluetooth, infra, memory slot, yada yada). The internet is crap (read, extremely slow), it weighs a tone though it's pretty slim and sleek and the battery lasts about 1½ days.

I'm planning to flash the phone and see if I can replace it with proper nokia software, see if that speeds it up.

Otherwise the dual sim works super. Got zain and safcom - reception is the sawa, though safcom has issues. As for shelf life, can't tell coz I've had the phone only 4 months.

Guyz i tell you again and again DONOT BUY THOSE CHEAP CHINA PHONES !!! if u value your hard earned molah .DONOT BUY THEM .
