Living proof you can defy the odds. Telecom begins pre-order for Motorola DEFY XT.

Thanks to an exclusive deal between Telecom and Motorola, Telecom customers will be the first in New Zealand to get their hands on the new Motorola DEFY XT.

This hard-working phone is the perfect, go-anywhere companion for your active lifestyle. Whether you’re out on the town, working outdoors, tramping, or just a little accident-prone, Motorola DEFY XT’s water-resistant, dust-proof, and scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® glass display is living proof it can take most of what your life throws at it - and at a price that won’t clean out your wallet.

Telecom’s Chief Marketing Officer, Jason Paris, says the new Motorola DEFY XT is perfectly suited to New Zealanders’ lifestyles and Telecom’s 100% 3G mobile network, so as New Zealand’s telco, Telecom is delighted to have secured the product exclusively.

“Our Smartphone Network™ continually delivers smartphone customers an exceptional experience in terms of speed, coverage and reliability – and that’s why we’re excited to launch the robust Motorola DEFY XT into the market alongside the other Motorola device in our living proof range, the Motorola DEFY Mini.

“International research from Motorola shows that 31% of handset damage is liquid-based. In fact 47% of mobiles are accidentally dropped into toilet bowls with a further 21% being dropped into, or
damaged through spilled drinks.

“While we don’t recommend testing any mobile devices under these conditions, the original Defy has been the fourth best selling model in our market thanks largely to its durability, so we know it is well
suited to the New Zealand lifestyle.

“The Motorola Defy XT is ideal for busy workers such as like tradesmen, landscape gardeners and farmers. It’s equally suitable for active Kiwis who enjoy the outdoors or simply relaxing by the beach or at home.

“You can check email, text friends, play games, watch videos and browse the web doing the things you love. You’ll have no worries putting the DEFY XT through its paces because it really can stand up to the trials of normal daily phone use,” says Paris.

With its 3.7-inch high-resolution display, the Motorola DEFY XT takes crystal-clear touchscreens to the next level of durability, and its 5-megapixel camera means you can document all your daily adventures with super-sharp clarity. It comes pre-loaded with a range of social networking apps, allowing you to share your favourite photos, or update the world on your whereabouts at the touch of a button.

Paris says busy Gen-i clients will also appreciate the mobile’s integrated business tool including cloud and enterprise solutions that allow increased business flexibility, efficiency and productivity.

On a 24-month contract, the Defy XT costs $0 upfront on Telecom’s $60 smartphone plan or higher smartphone plans, or $599 RRP.

As an added bonus, those that pre-order their new Motorola DEFY XT online will go into the draw to win one of 20 Huffer jackets – which also turns into a cool laptop bag. You must pre-order before 12th July and winners will be drawn on 26th July 2012.

By securing their personal pre-ordered device at www.telecom.co.nz/defyxt, customers can pick up their new Motorola DEFY XT from their chosen Telecom store from 12th July, or have the device delivered.
Gen-i clients should talk to their client manager for information on device pricing and availability.

Terms, conditions and charges apply. Early termination fees or repayment of some of the mobile subsidy may apply if your contract ends early. Offer ends 31st July 2012 or while stocks last.
