A few things to chew on:
- mobile web traffic on the site dropped a bit from the previous month’s figures
- Apple is back in the top brands chart. Samsung makes a debut.
- The UK is back in the top countries chart
- Nokia still rules the top phones chart 100% but with a new champion taking a chunky 7.1% of mobile traffic- the 5800. The ex-champion, the Nokia 3110 Classic, is now in 3rd place.
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.

I love that the iphone is back on the chart. I probably should use my phone all the time to browse to maintain this stats!
Interesting that Etisalat should beat MTN in the list. Perhaps their Blackberry smartphone promo and data charges did the magic!

If you’ve been using your iphone to browse, perhaps the ratings would have been different. I used the moto q (winmo) most me the time and it still could not kick. I might be the only one using winmo on this site for all i know. From now on, i’ll try using my 5800 and etisalat.
Am not surprised to see etisalat on top. So far, its been easier and smoother to browse with it than with any other network from my end here.

After 16 months of use, i am just begining to enjoy smooth browsing experience on my nokia 5800. Thanks to etisalat. I don’t know of other people’s experiences, but MTN is a lousy network and zain has hiccups, while glo never browses here at my end.

deoladoctor,
You are not the only WinMo user. Our logs show other WinMo devices from Samsung and LG.
How Etisalat is the top network here is a surprise, but hey, facts are facts.

Afewgoodmen,
Thought you would be interested in knowing that the iOS share is made up of visits from iPod Touches (8.0%), iPhone 2G/3G (26.0%), iPhone 3GS (22.3%), iPhone 4 (3.4%), and iPads (40.3%). Clearly, MobilityNigeria is on the cutting edge

Am hardly suprised that etisalat is ahead of others for the month of june.I shuttled between Delta state FCT & Kaduna state in the month of June & with the exception of fct where mtn was equally superb etisalat stood out & was simply the best.I hope they keep it up.As for Zain their service to say the very least was the worst.Its only in Abuja that their service is alife.

If I were to rate the quality of service of mobile internet on the different GSM mobile networks, it would be as follows:
1. Glo HSI
2. Etisalat (hampered somewhat by limited coverage)
3. MTN
4. Zain Mobile Internet (really epileptic)

If i were to rate the internet connectivity of the GSM networks from this side of the country(i.e. Sapele), it would go thus:
1. Etisalat
2. MTN
3. Zain
4. Glo
