Myself I'm happy with my black berry and iphone. Can't relate to what you guys are talking about. These ideos cheapies might just be expensive in the long run.

BBI will solve it :)

@2012, don't be vague, be droid!!! With that tunda nyeusi you pay 2K each month. I don't consume more than 500MB each month and get all you get. Do the math.

It's Safaricom's next frontier, DATA. Bob said it; voice and SMS is dead. They're not selling phones, they're selling data.

@ sihingwa, assuming you are still using the stock /default call application, start it, go to contacts, press menu (I think it's the second button on the left on IDEOS), select import from sim card and you are done.
It is a curious fact that of all the illusions that beset mankind, none is quite as curious as that tendency to suppose that we are mentally and morally superior to those who differ from us in opinion.

I think you need to look at how data is charged, as opposed to voice calls where you are charged as you use; the data billing is slightly different, it actually 'pre-blocks' and amount e.g. 100/-, after you disconnect, the remaining balance is released to you, thats why sometimes you get a message about how you don't have sufficient funds. This is regardless of the phone type/OS....so, in cases where the phone is always connected, no disconnection happens and the amount is 'locked'.

What is actually 'locked' is just 2MBs of data worth sh16 (8/-per MB). Just buy bundles.

Thanks @sumuni

However you said "...after the download is complete long press on the homescreen..."

Which is the home screen and where do you long press?

Also have you had an issue with pictures? All my pics are cut out, even FB and Twitter.
