Motorola Mobility and Telecom NZ Bring Style and Strength to New Zealand with the Motorola DEFY™ MINI

The smartphone that can take whatever your adventurous lifestyle throws at it, for a price you can’t beat.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand – 1 June, 2012 – Say hello to the smartphone that defies expectations. Dust-proof, water-resistant, scratch-resistant and featuring a powerful 1650mAh battery, the new, life proof Motorola DEFY MINI sets you up for social survival wherever you decide to go, making sure you stay connected for longer.

The phone’s crystal-clear, 3.2-inch Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen display is great for email, texting and browsing the Web. It’s cool, compact design and long battery life means that only you decide when the fun stops.

Snap photos of your various exploits with the Motorola DEFY MINI’s 3-megapixel camera, or take advantage of the front-facing VGA camera to connect with friends while you’re on the train, bus or just relaxing at home. Featuring an intuitive interface with social and activity widgets, the DEFY MINI also allows you to instantly share all the fun you’re having with your friends.

Plus, if you’re on the move, the Motorola DEFY MINI’s GPS navigation will always keep you pointed in the right direction and make sure you get where you’re going.

Motorola DEFY MINI is the first device to launch in New Zealand with MotoSwitch, a handy user interface which learns the songs you love, who you talk to most and which apps you get the most mileage from. It then cleverly collects all your preferences and keeps them front-and-center, which means you’ll be so organised you’ll have loads of extra time on your hands.

But don’t worry… your boredom won’t last long. Since Motorola DEFY MINI is an Android- powered smartphone, you’ll have immediate access to thousands of games, apps, music, books and movies available on Google Play.

“Motorola DEFY MINI is just the right mix of style, value, performance and toughness said Timo Brouwer, Managing Director, Motorola Mobility, Inc. “It can stand up to whatever your busy life throws at it, keep you connected and organised and capture and share your once-in-a-lifetime adventures – all with resilience and style.”

“This exclusive device is an exciting launch for Telecom, and with our Smartphonenetwork’s 100% 3G performance and coverage across 97% of where New Zealander’s live and work, the DEFY MINI is the perfect robust device for any Kiwi,” says Jason Paris, Telecom’s Chief Marketing Officer.

“As New Zealand’s Telco we’re thrilled to offer a product that can stand up to the diverse challenges of everyday kiwi life whether it be on the farm, the ski field or even a night out on the town…its dustproof, scratch, and water resistant. We are delighted to have it exclusively, as the first DEFY device was incredibly popular and we know our customers will enjoy using the DEFY MINI,” Mr Paris says.
