Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition launched in limited edition

Motorola Mobility and construction equipment manufacturer JCB have announced a limited edition Motorola DEFY+ handset which transforms the UK’s favourite life proof handset into a ‘work proof’ model. The exclusive Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition features exceptional work-orientated protection for anyone operating the demanding construction and engineering sectors, or who work in the rugged outdoors and in extremely demanding conditions thanks to its patented visco-elastic protective sleeve from JCB with re-entrant geometry.

According to the press release, Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition handset offers construction site users and outdoor enthusiasts who routinely work with core technical and measuring materials a range of built-in options. It comes pre-loaded with bespoke JCB applications including: a spirit level, theodolite, decibel meter and recorder, torch, unit converter, calculator and DIY store locator. This saves the user time and effort of lugging around a boot load of individual work components, and also serves to speed up their productivity and output at the touch of a button. For those users who will also need to communicate remotely, between multiple venues, or even on-the-go with a range of associates the handset will feature Push To Talk functionality which will allow them to operate the device as a walkie-talkie (via the cellular network) with group call and messaging functionality.

As a reminder, Motorola Mobility launched the standard Motorola DEFY+ handset in September last year. The limited edition JCB version will also boast existing Motorola DEFY+ handset functionality such as a 1 GHz CPU that runs 25 percent faster for efficient Web browsing and multitasking. Users can make the Motorola DEFY+ JCB edition meet their own personal needs by organising and personalising their Application trays for easy and quick access to their most used tools, games and content.

As you may well be aware already, Motorola DEFY+ runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS with MOTOBLUR UI and features a 3.7-inch touch screen display with scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, 5 megapixel camera with auto focus, flash and digital zoom. Motorola Media Link allows users to sync their media content from their desktops at home or work. It's also loaded with the ability to create group emails and communication. There's also Adobe Flash Player 10.

Motorola DEFY+ has 2GB internal memory; 2GB microSD card in box, expandable up to 32GB. Its 1700 mAH battery provides enough juice for 7.1 hours of talk time and 16 days in standby. This rugged phone is water resistant, scratch resistant and dust proof to withstand all that life throws users way. Owners also get access to Google Mobile Services (Google Maps with Navigation, Google Talk, browsing) and more than 300,000 apps from Android Market.

Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition also includes a car charger with an extra long curly cable. It is available to purchase in all good UK retail stockists from RRP £259.99.
