Super deal ...

Need a new brand new Moto Defy+ ?

Folks in the UK can get one from Three network (locked to that network) for £69.99 plus £10 PAYG top up.

Top Cash back site gives £13 cashback too

http://store.three.co.uk/view/produ...C68E1D2891602D6320F36A761F02DB?priceplan=PAYG

Found this over at HotUKdeals website. HURRY!!!

Screenshot for the doubters out there :D
Thats very nice of you to tell us .... I actually bought my DEFY not (Defy+) from oarageUk 2 yrs ago for £100 ...

No problem! I just ordered mine via TopCashBack and it shows £13.71 cashback should be received after a few weeks (not always guaranteed though) so although I had to get a £10 top up plus the phone, it should cost about £67 with cashback recieved etc so I think that's not bad for a brand new Defy+, albeit locked to the Three network.

Well it arrived, totally unbranded and unlocked to any network. It's identical in every respect to the retail unlocked Defy+ that I bought from Amazon last year.

So, no sign of any network branding or locks whatsoever. A great deal I think.

Yeah I got mine from Three as well as per the link in my first post.... I'm very pleased with it.... I guess they're just shifting old stock, the battery manufactured date was July 2012.

Just bought one form a three shop, as my old defy is battered - scrathed screen, broken battery cover, dust under the screen missing usb port cover adn so on.

As i am already on three, i didnt have to pay for a £10 top up, and it only cost £69.99, the phone is completly unlocked and will work with any sim card.

here are a few stats from the about screen

system version 45.0.2310.MB526.Retail.en.GB

Android Version 2.3.6

Baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.03

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e [email protected]#1

Build number 4.5.1-134_DFP-231

Yep, exactly the same as what I got..... when you went into the 3 store what proof do they need that you're an existing customer? I'm just wondering if I can go in with my new 3 PAYG sim that I got with my new Defy+ and buy another one without buying a topup?

All they asked for was my phone number and my name that was it.
at the moent im now trying to root the thing, BL7s a different beast.

As for the rest of it, the differnce in feel between a well used Defy thats had more than its fair share of knocks and one fresh out of the box is substantial

I recently rooted my other BL7 Defy+ using a guide from here, it wasn't hard and I'll try to find the info. I just used RSDLite, the two files and bingo.

Well, actually I loaded the second file first and got the phone stuck, rebooted and tried again and bingo!

Here's the link that worked for me, choose the two files for EU and don't use one CN and one EU file.

Ive found the guide, just waiting for the files to download - 4 minutes to go ( alegedly)
went to CEX just out of interest to see if my old defy was worth anything - and the answer was no.
The only reason why im still using an old 'outdated' phone is that there is nothing on the market that has the following
Rugged ( water resitant)
SD card
removable battery
Doesnt look pig ugly


As for stock in the three shops, out of Three stores available, only one had stock - as they had been selling like 'hot cakes' to quote one store sales bod.

currently using this guide

Having never had a Motorola android before, what is the best info regarding root and ROM installing.

Have done it to death on HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S.

Going to read through the link from your post spannerz, and maybe see from there.

I usually like to watch a YouTube video for first timer like me.

Now rooted, what ROMs can I installed now?

All seems a bit confusing really. Would like to install CM7 or CM10, but all this Defy+ and BL7 etc has got me stumped.

I have been reading page after page, but not tryed yet.

Any advice?
