Motorola DEFY MINI Arrives in Ireland via Vodafone - MobilEgypt

Motorola and Vodafone have teamed up to bring the rugged DEFY MINI Android phone in Ireland. The smartphone is now available for purchase for only 130 EUR (160 USD) on PAYG (pay as you go). Customers who are willing to commit to a long-term contract at Vodafone Ireland can grab the Motorola DEFY MINI for free on BillPay. The dust- and water-resistant DEFY MINI also offers total protection against scratches and scrapes thanks to its Corning Gorilla Glass display coating. Affordability aside, Motorola DEFY MINI features a large capacity 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is rated by the manufacturer for up to 21 days of standby time or up to 10 hours of talk time. The smartphone runs Google’s Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread operating system integrated with the company’s MotoSwitch user interface. Unfortunately, Motorola has recently confirmed the DEFY MINI won’t receive an Ice Cream Sandwich update in the future. This is understandable if we take into consideration the fact that the DEFY MINI is equipped with a low- performance 600 MHz single-core processor, which is complemented by 512MB of RAM. There’s also 512MB of ROM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB). Motorola DEFY MINI sports a 3.2-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen display (320 x 480 pixels), a 3-megapixel rear photo snapper, as well as a VGA front-facing camera for video calls. “Whether you are stood in a muddy field, watching the match in the rain or enjoying a night out with friends, our smartphones accompany us everywhere. Motorola DEFY MINI is ready for whatever life throws your way, providing the perfect mix of style, value, performance and toughness. It can stand up to whatever life throws at you, keeping you connected, organised and entertained wherever you go ,” said Andrew Morley, UK & Ireland general manager, Motorola Mobility UK Ltd.

Cricket to Offer iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 on June 22 - MobilEgypt

US-based carrier Cricket Wireless has just announced the upcoming availability of the iPhone 4 and 4S on its airwaves. Customers will be able to purchase any of the two smartphones beginning June 22, which is two days after Galaxy S III’s launch in the country. According to Cricket, iPhone 4S will be available for $499.99 USD (405 EUR) for the 16GB model, while the iPhone 4 will be available for $399.99 USD (320 EUR). Cricket Wireless is the first prepaid carrier in the United States to offer Apple’s iPhone 4S. Both smartphones will be available with the operator’s $55 USD per-month, all-inclusive unlimited talk, text and data plan. Keep in mind that Cricket Wireless’ unlimited data offering falls within its fair usage policy of 2.3GB per month. It is also worth mentioning that iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 will be available in Cricket brick and mortar stores and select dealers in nearly 60 markets. Apple’s iPhone 4S will be shipped with iOS 5.1 onboard, along with the company’s highly-acclaimed, but pretty controversial, Siri app. The latter is an intelligent assistant that is meant to help users get information or execute various commands by simply using their voice. Obviously, the smartphone offers a set of free cloud services, which are compatible with iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC, and allows users to automatically and wirelessly store their content in iCloud and push it to all their supported devices. “Our customers want the best products available and we are excited to bring iPhone to our pre-paid consumers with an industry leading $55 per-month service plan. Launching iPhone is a major milestone for us and we are proud to offer iPhone customers attractive nationwide coverage, a robust 3G data network and a value-packed, no- contract plan ,” said Doug Hutcheson, president and chief executive officer, Leap Wireless International, Inc.
