Motorola Defy on contract?

[BCO]

Does anyone know if the Defy is available via any of the service providers? I've only seen them for sale at Expansys, but not being offered as part of a contract package.

Are you looking for a Defy stove? Makro, Game and lots of other appliance stores sell them

Har har.

I see you and me have the same problem. Also looking for an MB525 (defy) on a contract but it seems to be unavailable.

Also in the same boat. Hopefully with the new contract specials in February we will see it released

woot swim with ur phone? Engadget rather liked this phone

except for the obvious MotoBlur UI which does suck imo

 

[EnT@nGleD]

This should have been put in the main thread to receive more attention

From what I saw there is a firmware out without the Motoblur UI. Think it was even released by Moto themselves.

Apparently will the Defy will be available through Vodacom outlets around end February

Currently the only Motorola model we have is the MOTOROLA MB300, even on the new deals that will be valid till the 6th April. Sorry.

All I know is that today the Defy was added to the Motorola website for South Africa.

Hope it is coming soon!

It looks like Virgin Mobile is the first provider offering the Motorola Defy on contract. :/ Would have hoped it would be MTN, Vodacom or Cell C. R299 on a top up R299 contract.

Sorry bumping this thread again.

Browsing the Virgin Mobile Store it appears the Motorola Defy is also available on a classic contract @ R170 a month with R150 airtime and 1000sms's.

My sister inquired at our local stores in January about a Motorola phone and they said that VC no longer stocks Motorola .

Don't trust what one store's salesperson tells you. The staff seem to be only half-informed, so I tend to call a few first

Well, I purchased mine from Expansys (only to find out a week later that it is available from Virgin Mobile.) I have had it now for exactly 2 weeks and the earpiece is now dead. Sent in RMA request and is waiting now...

We currently only sell one model. The Moto Backflip

So this doesn't bode well for the Motorola Atrix, which was launched in the US of A today.

And the Atrix is a "world phone", so not sure why Vodacom & MTN are not doing a promo, or showing it some love.

This is actually a beast of a phone (dual core CPU) & better screen res (540 x 960 pixels, 4.0'' display ) than anything else out there.

*Oh, and it has a monster battery : Lithium 1930 mAh
