Hey Alvin,
I've had an IDEOS since when they were launched.
Not had a problem on it. Bought a screen cover + case.
Finally this weekend installed Skype from the market and been calling
people with it from Java free wireless.
Installed BatteryBooster to manage my battery life. Now lasts atleast 2
hours longer.
Installed 3GWatchdog to manage my #544 25mb daily limit.
Installed Aldiko to read my ebooks from ProjectGutenburg and converted
ones using Calibre.
Installed GTunes to download music.
Installed SoundHound to identify songs playing on the radio, club or
matatu.
Installed Barcode for QRcodes
Installed EsFileExplorer to manage files on my IDEOS
And all for $100 .... best $100 dollars I ever spent!!

to Safcon coz of HW failure

Seems like a good strategy for Safaricom. The
key is not to move hardware, but create an
ecosystem where owners or (addicts) of the now
famous Ideos become huge consumers of data. I am
sure they may be selling the phone at
a subsidized cost but considering how these
smartphones move data, soon their data sales may
exceed voice.
I hope other players will not come back a few
years from now and want to share the Safaricom
Ideos ecosystem.
