Motorola DEFY+ and JCB, one of the leading companies focused on construction, demolition and agricultural equipment manufacturing, have just announced the availability of the Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition in the UK.

 

Although the phone was spotted at major retailer Clove UK back in December, the Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition was officially introduced today.

 

Android enthusiasts who want an extra-solid Android-powered device can purchase the Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition via Clove UK for only £240 (370 USD or 290 EUR) off-contract. However, Motorola states that the phone’s suggested retail price should be £259.99 (400 USD or 310 EUR).

 

Motorola DEFY+ JCB Edition is exclusively available in the UK and comes with the following benefits: JCB branded skin with shock absorption, JCB application which includes 6 tools (Therodolite, Spirit Level, Torch and Decibel Reader) and a B&Q store locator, as well as JCB packaging.

 

In addition, customers who purchase this special edition will get 24-month warranty as opposed to the standard Motorola DEFY+ 12-month warranty.

 

It is also worth mentioning that the JCB device features Push To Talk (PTT) functionality, allowing users to operate the smartphone as a walkie-talkie.

 

On the inside, the DEFY+ JCB Edition packs a 1GHz processor, a PowerVR SGX530 graphics processing unit, 2GB of internal memory, 512 MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 2GB memory card included).

 

There’s also a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, which features autofocus, LED flash and video recording capabilities. The smartphone runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform and offers quick access to more than 300,000 apps via Android Market.

 

The rugged phone comes with a 1700 mAh Li-Polymer battery, which is rated by the manufacturer for up to 384 hours of standby time or up to 7 hours of talk time.

 

We’re thrilled to be working with JCB on this bespoke Motorola DEFY+ device. The unique protective sleeve will pull on JCB’s years of expertise in the construction industry to help us reach a new audience who we know are in need of a life and work proof handset,” said Victoria McManus, UK marketing director, Motorola Mobility.
