As some of you already know, I’m yet to join the Smartphone bandwagon which is why when I decided to get another cell phone to replace my stolen Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, I chose to get another non-Smartphone but this time around, with the intention of killing two birds with one stone. After much research (I hate going to the market without an idea of what I want to buy), I settled for the Samsung GT-C3212 dual SIM phone....

Normally, your device should automatically configure itself once you pop in your Smile SIM (I am told that BB10 devices do this). If it doesn’t, below are the settings for the configuration if it is not automatically pulled from the network....

A merger happened in 2001, and Sony Ericsson was born. However, the joint venture was not the runaway success that many fans desired it to be. It wasn’t exactly a failure either. Anyway, as of today, Sony Ericsson is no more, as Sony has bought out Ericsson from the joint venture. Sony is back! I feel sad to see Ericsson go. I remember my Ericsson R320 and the R380s (the very first Symbian smartphone) with nostalgia....

5G is the fifth generation of wireless network technology. Previous generations include 4G, 3G, 2G, and 1G. You might be wondering if 5G will replace 4G. That will happen eventually, maybe two decades down the road. But for now, just the same way 3G networks run alongside 4G networks, 4G and 5G networks will run side-by-side. As such, T-Mobile’s 4G network is alive and well, and continues to run alongside the new nationwide 5G network....

What makes it interesting is that this groundbreaking achievement has come from an unexpected brand. The top cameraphone brands in recent years have been Huawei, Google, Apple, and Samsung. Nokia used to be on this table too, but has slipped down in the last few years. No-one was expecting Xiaomi to deliver one of the best cameraphones in the world, much less deliver it as a mid-range device. Having a ₦200,000 (about $550) smartphone deliver the kind of photographic qualities that smartphones costing over ₦350,000 (about $875) deliver is something that has taken everyone by surprise....
