Motorola DEFY MINI Goes Live in Australia via Optus - MobilEgypt

The smallest smartphone in the DEFY family has just landed in Australia. Motorola DEFY MINI is now available for purchase for $199 AUD on pre-paid via Dick Smith and Optus retailers. Customers who prefer to make their purchases from Kmart or Target will be able to grab the DEFY MINI beginning May 22 for the same no- term price. Although it has been tagged as a rugged Android phone, the DEFY MINI is aimed at the entry level market, which is why it’s available for such a low price. However, for a budget-friendly, Motorola DEFY MINI is quite alright, especially that it is shipped with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board. According to Motorola, the smartphone is dust- and water- resistant, so “whether it's a downpour or a spilt drink, a sandy beach or a pocket full of coins, MOTOROLA DEFY MINI is ready for whatever life throws your way.” To make things even more interesting for Android fans, the phone’s 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display (320 x 480 pixels) features Corning Gorilla Glass coating. In addition, it provides access to more than 450,000 Google Play apps and games. The handset comes packed with re-sizeable widgets and other innovative features, such as Social Graph and Activity Graph. Another strong point of the smartphone is the high-capacity 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is rated by the manufacturer for up to 500 hours of standby time or up to 10 hours of talk time. Motorola DEFY MINI is equipped with a low-performance 600 MHz single-core processor, which is complemented by 512MB and 512MB of ROM. The internal memory can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD card. On the back, the handset sports a 3- megapixel photo snapper with LED flash and video recording, while in the front, there’s a secondary VGA camera for video calls.

Verizon Rolls Out Motorola DROID X2 Maintenance Update - MobilEgypt

Two months ago, Verizon Wireless published the official changelog of a software update for Motorola DROID X2, though it did not provide any details regarding availability. Although the DROID X2 was launched at Verizon exactly one year ago with Android 2.2 Froyo on board, Motorola and Google have already delivered an Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade. The latest software update is meant to add some new applications, as well as to improve the phone's overall security, performance and stability. Software update 1.3.418.MB870.Verizon.en.US for Motorola DROID X2 is pushed OTA (over the air) in waves, so users might have to wait a bit more until they will get notified on the new software. Although the official changelog is still listed as “Coming Soon,” the folks over at AndroidCentral claim that DROID X2 users have already started to receive the update, which is 35MB in size. According to Verizon, it will take about 10 to 20 minutes to download the software, but that mostly depends on network conditions. Installation should take up to 5 – 10 more minutes, so make sure the DROID X2 has enough battery. Motorola DROID X2 owners who have yet to be notified on the update can check for it manually by going to Settings / About phone / System updates / Download. One of the most important changes is the addition of a Google Security Patch, which is meant to improve the security level. Furthermore, the DROID X2 will be pre-loaded with Verizon Video and VZ Navigator 3D City applications. It is also worth mentioning that the smartphone will be enabled with the Wireless Alerting System. Several fixes have been included as well, such as shortcut names, which can now be updated and saved, as well as the purchased ringtones that are now able to be saved and set. Last but not least, the keyboard Input Auto Error Correction setting now defaults to off.
