Just a few days after the news broke that they had been acquired by Google, handset manufacturers Motorola have announced their latest phone: The ‘life-proof’ Motorola Defy+.
The Defy+ is an upgraded version of the Defy, the elementally resistant Android handset that proved to be a surprise success for Motorola last year.
The new handset comes with a host of new features and upgrades. Chief among these are the upgraded internals, including a 1GHz processor and a capacious 1700mAh battery that will last for 7.1 hours of talk time.
The Defy+ will also run Gingerbread, version 2.3 of the Android operating system; this is the most recent version of the OS. The phone will come with a unique application in keeping with its active audience. This app is called CardioTrainer, and promises to monitor your daily workout.
Apart from these upgrades, the phone is much the same. It features the same form factor and display size, as well as the same host of rugged features that made the phone popular. These include scratch resistant gorilla glass, a drop resistant frame and additional resistances to both dust and water.
The handset looks to be a solid evolution on last year’s most popular rugged phone, and here at Mobile Fun we’re happy to announce the first price for the SIM free Motorola Defy+ here in the UK: £269.
You can order the Motorola Defy+ unlocked from our product page. We’ll also be providing our usual range of mobile phone accessories for the handset once it has been released, which is expected to be released early this Autumn.

The Nokia N9 unlocked been receiving a lot of attention, both for the elegance of the OS and for its physical design, which uses an edge-to-edge 3.9″ AMOLED screen that fades into curved glass edges.

The phone looks impressive, but its beauty is more than skin deep. It comes packed with an impressive 8MP camera, excellent social networking integration, and a great GPS navigation system. It’s rounded out with the sim free Nokia N9‘s beautiful new MeeGo operating system; you can have a look at how it works in the video below:
It’s a very cool little package, and I do very much hope that the unlocked Nokia N9 will be successful so that we’ll so a lot more phones with the excellent MeeGo OS.
If you’ve got any questions or comments about the beauterous N9, let me know via the usual channels:
RIM’s latest flagship BlackBerry phone, the Sim Free BlackBerry 9900, has proved popular since its release in the US earlier this month with suits and teens alike.

Even Apprentice boss Sugar commented on Twitter that he was impressed with the phone’s keyboard and touch screen after trying out an advance version:
“Been trying new BlackBerry Bold 9900 combination large keyboard and great touch screen. Must have new processors as very fast browsing. V. Good.”
Later, he marveled over the 9900′s camera, remarking:
“Great camera on this new BB Bold 9900 also processes them very fast when posted on twitter.”
Sugar’s not one for false praise, and the 9900 does look good. It sports a quick 1.2GHz processor, a high-quality touch screen and the latest BlackBerry OS7. The BlackBerry staples — excellent QWERTY keyboard and high security — are also present, definitely making this the best BlackBerry ever produced (and TechRadar agree).
To get ready for the phone’s release, we’re going to have a look at some of the essential BlackBerry 9900 accessories. Let’s get started!
BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 Cases
First things first – to keep your phone safe, you’ll need a BlackBerry 9900 case. You probably don’t want to compromise the slimmest BlackBerry yet, so let’s go for something quite minimal, yet still protective. My personal favourite is the Otterbox Commuter, so let’s go with that.

As you can see from the picture, the Otterbox doesn’t add much to the BlackBerry’s slim frame. It provides protection against drops, scratches and impacts through its silicone frame, and also includes silicone plugs to provide complete environmental protection for the USB and audio jack.
It’s not just about cases and screen protectors though, let’s have a look at some other essentials for the busy businessman or studious student.
BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 Car Holder
As no custom-made BlackBerry 9900 car holders have been released yet, I’ll recommend an excellent stand-in: The Universal Windscreen Mount Phone Holder. This adjustable mobile phone holder will fit the BlackBerry Bold snugly, and will also fit a large amount of other phones too.

BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 Bluetooth Headsets
The most popular mid-range BlackBerry 9900 Bluetooth headset is the Plantronics Explorer 240. It features a sleek design, very much in keeping with the BlackBerry 9900′s aesthetic, and dedicacted buttons from volume, power on/off and call answer/end. A good Bluetooth headset can really be convenient for using your BlackBerry on the go, and the Plantronics Explorer 240 is one of the best.

Conclusion
That’s all for now folks. I hope you’ve got a good taste of the many mobile phone accessories for the BlackBerry 9900 that are on offer!
Are you excited for the release of the 9900? I’ve never really considered a BlackBerry before, but the 9900 looks so good I might have to!
