The IDEOS has landed!

    The much anticipated Huawei IDEOS U8150 phone has been launched in Kenya.

    The IDEOS was announced last September by Huawei as a low cost handset that the Chinese manufacturer had worked on in collaboration with Google. Depicted as a low end smartphone, the IDEOS is anticipated to be a game changer, all at a reasonable price.

    The phone comes with Android 2.2, a 2.8 inch colour touch screen, 3G HSDPA up to 7.2 Mbps, a 3.2 Mp camera, WI-FI and Bluetooth. The phone retails at Ksh 8,499/- and is bundled with Ksh 1,000/- airtime plus 600 Mb of data. This means a US$100 smartphone has finally arrived! This is exactly the right move in bringing Android to the masses in Kenya.

    It's the best cheap phone currently available and it runs on Android, so the question is not really whether you will buy the IDEOS (of course you will), but which one you will buy. Which one? Yes, which one! This thing comes in different colors, so you will have to decide on the color. The phone comes in four different colors: black, blue, purple and yellow.

    The Huawei IDEOS U8150 phone is available in black, blue, purple and yellow

    The science of color psychology may help us in deciding which color of IDEOS to buy:

    Black: Black is often used as a symbol of menace or evil, but it is also popular as an indicator of authority and power. It is used to represent treacherous characters and is often associated with witchcraft, hence ideal for Kamba people. Black is also associated with death and mourning, unhappiness, sexuality, formality, and sophistication.

    Blue: Blue calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. Blue can also create feelings of sadness or aloofness. Blue can also lower the pulse rate and body temperature.

    Purple: Purple is the symbol of royalty and wealth. Purple also represents wisdom and spirituality. Purple can sometimes appear exotic or artificial.

    Yellow: Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Yellow can also create feelings of frustration and anger. Yellow can also increase the metabolism.

    Yellow for my main girlfriend
    How do these colors make you feel? You may have realized by now that this will not be an easy decision. So I will just buy all four of them. I will buy a yellow one for my main girlfriend, so that she remains optimistic and happy. I will buy a blue one for my clande in order to lower her body temperature, she sometimes just gets waaaaaaay too hot. I will buy a purple IDEOS for my sugar mummy because she is wealthy, wise and artificial. And a black one for myself of course, because of my sexuality and sophistication. And you? Which color will you buy?Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/mobile%20phones

My Blackberry is not working

    Are you craving for an Apple?
    Kenya has been having a special relation with the United Kingdom since colonial times. We share part of our history, a bit of friendship and some political, economic, commercial & cultural interests. Well, and sometimes I wish the Brits could colonize us again. Not for everything British, but at least for a few nice things. I don't want to learn anything about their bad cooking, but I love their dry sense of humor for instance.

    This “fruity” video from The One Ronnie starring Ronnie Corbett and Harry Enfield is just hilarious. These guys jokingly take on the tech industry's obsession with fruits like Blackberry, Orange and Apple, and throw in a few brilliant Microsoft comments as well.

    Check it out below:



    Oh, I just love that last one about the eggsbox 3,60. And you, do you enjoy such British humor?Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/mobile%20phones

Free SMS from Gmail to Safaricom

    Staying in touch with your girls is important
    Did you know that you can now send free SMS to your friends on Safaricom directly from your Gmail account? Try Gmail SMS and start texting your friends from your computer.

    You can send SMS messages to your contacts’ mobile phones using Gmail Chat. If your contact replies, the text message response will appear as a reply in Chat. These conversations are stored in your Chat history just like regular chats.

    Sending and receiving a message from Gmail to any phone is free. When replying with an SMS from phone to Gmail, you will be charged a regular SMS rate by your mobile provider. Gmail SMS is currently available in Kenya with Safaricom.

    Here's how to use Gmail SMS:

    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.









    1. Log into your Gmail account. In the Send SMS box above Chat, enter the phone number you want to send a SMS to.
    2. In the dialog box, enter Contact name of the SMS recipient and check that country and phone number are correct. Then, click Save.
    3. Type your message in the chat window and hit Enter.
    4. Your message will be sent to the phone number you entered.
    Try it out! It seems to work fine.

    SMALL UPDATE: In some cases, e.g. when you are logging in to your Gmail account from abroad, the Gmail SMS feature is not automatically activated (and you can't see the Send SMS box in Gmail). Here's a solution. Try going to Google Labs, select Gmail Labs and enable "SMS in Chat gadget" and "Text Messaging (SMS) in Chat". That should do the trick, like it did for @kenyanpundit.
    @marvintumbo also confirmed he received a Gmail SMS from a friend in Sweden. Unfortunately, the friend is a dude and not the blonde Swedish hottie I had hoped for.Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/mobile%20phones

Kenya: the most advanced tech environment in the world

    Sarah Lacy
    Mocality is Africa's largest business directory in the making. Mocality has been streamlined for both web and mobile and can be viewed on almost all phones. Over 60,000 businesses have been listed already and plenty of traffic is now heading their way. Mocality is now available in Nairobi and is coming soon to other local cities.

    As a business owner, you get free SMS, a contact list, a free mobile website and a free mobile business card.

    But the good news is that you can actually become a Mocality agent and earn money! Their current payment structure is as follows:
    a. For adding a business: Ksh 5/- (read: top-up card)
    b. When your business gets verified: Ksh 25/- (read: soda)
    c. When you verify another business: Ksh 30/- (read: matatu fare)
    d. When you add a photo of the business to a listing or verification: Ksh 50/- (read: tea and mandazi)

    Sarah Lacy - who is currently obsessed with Kenya and by extension in love with Rafiki Kenya - and Paul Carr recently interviewed Mocality's CEO Stefan Magdalinski for TechCrunchTV about the Kenyan and African tech scene. Among other things Stef says "Kenya is in a lot of ways the most advanced mobile phone and tech environment I have come across in the world". Do you agree? Is Kenya the place to be in terms of tech and mobile? Here's the interview:



    And in other good news: Sarah is planning a trip to Kenya! I would be happy to be her guide of course.Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/mobile%20phones

Great news: Buy Kenyan airtime online at a discount!

    Enjoying the online purchase of airtime
    Finally, we can buy Kenyan airtime online at discounted prices. Check out the brand new website http://www.airtime.co.ke. It's not a flashy site, but it works, and the airtime is cheap. The airtime actually comes with a discount of 2%, so 100 bob of airtime will only cost you 98 bob. That leaves you with 2 bob to buy a sweet. If you buy 1,000 bob of airtime, you save 20 bob, and you can buy a soda with that.

    All you need is a VISA credit or debit card. You simply need to select a product (they do have Safaricom, Zain, Yu and Orange airtime with denominations as small as 100 bob), add it to your cart, and checkout. The PIN delivery is automated and instant upon successful payment.

    Saving money online
    Apart from the obvious conveniences of such a site in Kenya, I guess this site will also become popular with Kenyans in the diaspora and could provide some stiff competition for sites such as MamaMikes and Babawatoto; e-commerce sites where airtime vouchers are some of the most popular items but currently come at a 15-20% price premium. So the savings for Kenyans in the diaspora will be a lot bigger than just a sweet or a soda.

    Mobile phone operators may also make online credit/debit card purchases of airtime possible in the near future, as is the case in several other countries across the world.

    What do you think? Does this new site have the potential to become a success?Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/mobile%20phones

Google SMS Search now available in Kenya

    Google SMS Search is now available in Kenya. Google SMS Search provides access to information through a mobile phone without needing to access the Internet. You simply create an SMS message about what you are looking for and send it to the Google SMS short code (4664 or "GOOG") and wait for a response via SMS. The service is free from Google, but carrier charges do apply. It is currently supported by Safaricom only.

    For Google SMS Search, you need to indicate what topic you would like information for and then what you want to know. You can search for news headlines on a topic you are interested in. For example, send "news obama" or "n obama" to 4664 to get news headlines about Obama. They currently have both major international news sources as well as local ones. You can also get the top headlines by category, for example, "news sports" will return the top sports headlines.

    Sports scores
    Send "score manchester" to get the latest scores and standings for the team and many more!

    Stock quotes (Share prices)
    Send "stock GOOG" or "stock SCOM" to get current share prices from the NSE and international stocks.

    Foreign Exchange 
    Send "1000 KES in USD" to get current foreign exchange rates for major currencies

    Definitions
    Send "define p-square" or "d p-square" to 4664 to get a short description of who they are, or "define ratification" to get a definition of the word.

    Check out the SMS Search pages for
     Kenya for more details. SMS Search is also available in Ghana and Nigeria.

    So I tried it out, and here are the Google SMS Search results I got (with my comments in italic):

    Lodwar

    define corruption
    Glossary:
    corruption: corruptness: lack of integrity or honesty (especially susceptibility to bribery); use of a position of trust for dishonest gain

    Wow, even for a definition of corruption, Princeton University is the source of choice!

Celtel / Zain vs. Safaricom

    This morning, I received the following sms: "A wonderful world coming your way on August 1st 2008. Stay connected." Then I checked the sender of this stupid message. Sender: 254733100111. Oh, so this must be coming from Celtel. This must have something to do with the launch of their Zain brand.

    Also this morning, I received an invitation from Safaricom: "Come Experience Safaricom's Open Day". Saturday August 2nd to Sunday 3rd 2008. Venue: Westlands Car Park (next to Pizza Garden). Time: 10:00am - 5:00 pm, Entry: FREE. It is probably not a coincidence that Safaricom organizes this at the time that Celtel is launching its Zain brand, so competition seems to be heating up again. But Safaricom should have realized that this is actually an Open Week-End rather than an Open Day... A day usually just lasts a day, while a week-end is usually two days. Saturday August 2nd to Sunday 3rd 2008 is in fact a week-end!Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/mobile%20phones
