Republic Wireless is now open for everyone and it has started taking pre-orders for the Motorola DEFY XT. Interested users can pre-order up to four phones with shipping set to commence in mid-December. Moto’s baby costs $249 plus a $10 start-up fee (shipping & handling) and applicable taxes.
The DEFY XT comes with built-in “Hybrid Calling” technology that uses Wi-Fi where it’s available and cell where it’s not. Unlimited talk, text and data is all offered for just $19 a month. Forget about overages, contracts or hidden charges in small fine print. Your first $19 monthly membership will be charged when your phone ships…
If you don’t like the service, you’re free to cancel at any time and if you do that within the first 30 days, you’ll get your money back. It’s a no risk proposition so it’s up to you to decide whether you like the Motorola DEFY XT. We find it underwhelming, but then again – we’re geeks.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
