Motorola just released the entry level Motoluxe to 2 carriers, Bell and Virgin.

I’ve gone and updated our ‘phones in Canada‘  spreadhseet accordingly.

Remember, on the spreadsheet I have 2 tabs, one for availability/costs for the carriers, and one for specs.

Anyone interested in the phone?  It’s been getting some ‘flack’ for being too underpowered and only Gingerbread… well, lots of phones are running 2.3.x, but for $0 on contract, this is probably one of the better ones!

The new MOTOLUXE™ is now available at Bell and Virgin Mobile. The Android™- powered smartphone sets the bar high with its elegant design and unique multi-coloured LED notification light that shines when you have a call, text, e-mail or appointment, so you never miss a thing.

MOTOLUXE offers a dynamic new interface that always gives you easy and fast access to the people that matter and apps that top your list. The Social Graph feature learns who you communicate with the most and uses that knowledge to populate the home screen, keeping the important ones front and center. The Activity Graph focuses on your app usage habits and changes to reflect the apps you use the most. With Music+, your favourite music is never far, while the Smart Gallery displays your precious pictures you capture with the 8MP camera in collections.

This stylish smartphone is the perfect complement to our busy lives. The 4-inch touchscreen is perfect for surfing the web or watching movies, the 8MP camera captures life’s moments with quality and its GPS technology always points you in the right direction. The MOTOLUXE is Bluetooth®-enabled and gives you access to Google Play™ where you can find thousands of games, apps, books and movies that only add to the easy, fun user experience.

At Bell, MOTOLUXE is available for as little as $0 with data or $59.95 with Talk & Text on a three year term, and $299.95 outright.  At Virgin Mobile, MOTOLUXE is available with SuperTab options of $0 with data or $29.99 with Talk & Text, and $229.00. MOTOLUXE is also available at Virgin Mobile retailers. For more information visit Motorola.ca, Bell.ca/Motoluxe or Virgin Mobile.
