  • 37.2% of devices are wi-fi enabled
  • Wi-fi usage – 5.4%
  • 21.8% – QWERTY devices

  • 23.0% – smartphones

Top Brands

  • 63.8% – Nokia phones

Top 5 PhonesNokia-3110 classic

  • Nokia E63 – 5.2%
  • Nokia 5800 – 4.6%
  • Nokia 5320 – 3.6%
  • Nokia 5130 Classic – 3.1%

Top Networks
A total of 263 networks are used to access MobilityNigeria.com

  • 38.7% – MTN Nigeria
  • 17.3% – Etisalat Nigeria
  • 11.1% – Zain Nigeria
  • 3.8% – GloMobile Nigeria

Top Countries

  • Nigeria – 71.3%
  • India – 5.9%
  • USA – 3.1%
  • Canada – 1.1%

A few things to chew on:

- mobile web traffic on the site dropped a bit from the previous month’s figures
- BlackBerries edged iPhone devices out of the top brands chart
- Canada edged the UK out of the top countries chart
- Nokia still rules the top phones chart 100% with the Nokia 3110 Classic holding on to its top spot. And that’s the top 5 phones taking a chunky 22.5% of mobile traffic here.

Don’t forget, this is all MobilityNigeria.com traffic only, but then these statistics may present some fair indicators about mobile web traffic in Nigeria in general.

    Good work Yomi. QWERTY devices seem to have stolen the show at one of the top points.

    I wish to assume the results are representative of the internet usage statistic in Nigeria. The top networks are quite a reveal. I thought Glo mobile would be second to MTN. The difference is immense.

    I have not forgotten about my promise, I should have updated you guys but I finally have someone coming to Nigeria, so expect the blackberry if you still need to perform a formal review. Thanks for your patience and I do apologize for the delay.
