The old BlackBerry was a smartphone. It met the criteria to be called a smartphone.

erico2k2:

Black berry is not a smart phone, the 1st ever smart phone was the iPhone, the Only thing a BlackBerry did was Send and receive Emails, we where all issued one at work.

Goodadvice01:


Thanks chief.

Please what country would you suggest for someone with no funds and travel history. I'm 25 but I want to start working and saving towards it before 30.

That will be difficult, you need money. School route is the easiest, that in itself needs money so you got to start hustling.

A smartphone is a cellular telephone with an integrated computer and other features not originally associated with telephones, such as an operating system (OS), web browsing and the ability to run software applications.

Mmsen and erico2k2 made good points. Both say the same thing but from different perspectives. There's stress everywhere. It just differs based on living standards.

We aren't saying the same thing at all.

I am able to acknowledge that both scenarios are stressful.

He insists that one scenario isn't stressful because the other scenario (which is unknown to the those who endure the problems of the first group) is worse.

erico2k2:

You think cos you boast that you was Born in one shyyyty Northern Europe country, that gives you the damn right to call Nigerians YOU PEOPLE, who give a damnnnn if you was born in Poland or one of those fake counties, Or you think you are better than the rest of us who by the way do very well abroad. Your country might have stress deal with your own stress however you see fit.Your school of thought does not in anyway reflect that of a typical Nigeria with the I can aptitude aint said nothing you jumping into kids,You sound biter and come across like o ne of them ones.
Them link you posted there shows you are incapable of having a meaningful conversation or rather lack comprehension, I am saying what you call stress i n the west is nowhere near what they call stress in Nigeria, obviously I now know you know nest to nothing about Nigeria as claimed in one of your post from 2012 unlees you was chatting BS.How is this hard to comprehend.

Respectfully, the only people I know who think that living in Europe is a bragging point are people who did not grow up there and that's because we have a deeper level of understanding as to how unpleasant it can be and the problems that persist.

I did not deny the existence of stress as you did with those in the West and that is the problem. You still cannot see or it that you are wrong. I really pity people like you because there always comes a time when you are forced to deal with the truth.

The this just goes to show you just read my post as news
1 I never said there is no stress in Europe, I have worked and lived here in all of my adult life.
2 If you go back to what I said you will notice I said the stress we have in the Uk is the kind of stress people who live in Banana Estate in Lagos state have
Now if you have ben to Banana Estate B4 you will agree with me that the stress those people who live there through is way way different from the one people who Live in okoko,ladipo or Oshidi through. This was my point.
This was the simple thing I said B4 all these plenty write ups and insults.
SO what do you think is wrong or missing in my argument ?

You have just m mentioned it yourself, one is worse, hence I am comparing of the west and Banana Island. I wont compare the stress in the west with that of Oshodi, that will be bringing and Assault rifle to a pillow fight.

You dismissed out hand the stress that one group goes through because of the severity of the other. It's as stupid as telling someone not to go to a hospital to repair a broken hand because someone else amputated theirs.

You said that what one group suffers isn't "stress" but rather just "societal ills". Whatever that means...

Anyone who cares to can review what you wrote.

I'm not wasting my time or you or this conversation anymore, I can see you have no scruples or integrity. I've seen it enough over the past few years with you guys. It's very tiresome.

And you are not amongst Nigerians right, So you think you are better than other Nigerians, look, you can do one who cares

Now you just wanna argue baselessly, WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum
Whatsap together with Android phones killed Blackberry

The very 1st Blackberry that was used for "pinging" and sending emails meets the standard criteria for a smartphone. You don't even know what the actual definition of a "smartphone" is, so there is no need for a debate or argument. I'm out... I won't reply you.

Now you are talking outta ur backside or from both side of your mouth, that reply was meant to correct the notion of the existence of wassap,
Now you all are talking of smart phones, first there were mobile phones, then they became smart, Just like we had TV then they became smart
Mobile phones became smart once they upgraded from GPRS to Broadband, also when they upgrade from infrared to Bluetooth.

erico2k2:

2007 no one owned a smart phone not even in the US or UK, so it has nothing to do with ones home poverty stage, you are just being naïve, or did you DAD had a smart phone in 2007?

My dad was using a Nokia 6260 which he later gave me, the specs are on this link. https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6260-815.php

I bought sagem my X6 myself cus that was the ultimate machine at that time. https://www.gsmarena.com/sagem_my_x6_2-1139.php
Most of my mates were using sagem my x6. We needed smartphones so as to enjoy free browsing tricks. Those were the days of opera cheats, the one for PC is yourfreedom software, people were browsing for free till like year 2019. Search nairaland for yourfreedom and see the results. What you think was luxury is actually social norm to some of us

Catapault:


PROCESSED FOODS FILLED WITH CHEMICALS AND ADDITIVES IS WHAT YOU ARE CALLING “QUALITY FOOD”.

MEANWHILE THE PEOPLE THERE CONSIDER YOUR FOOD THE REAL “QUALITY FOOD”, WITH ITS NATURAL INGREDIENTS.

You don't get me. I know well of what you are talking about and that's my choice of feeding too

Sorry to jump in but 3g network started in 2003 in the uk. I don't know about smart phones but mobile phones could access the Internet from 2003.

I know this, I came to the Uk 2000 so I went through when we never have even camera phones and using Nokia 3210 the 3 network brought it to the UK.I think the 3G service came to Nigeria early 2008 via Glo, I this as I came to Nigeria and just qualifies in what I do now.
