On
Thursday October 23rd 2014, the unthinkable happened.
Telecom
Provider Digicel extended a very popular sale during the Heroes Day Weekend
that began on Saturday October 18th 2014 for the DL700 smartphone
and the Samsung E1205 feature phone until Sunday October 26th 2014.
The
DL700 is now priced at JA$8,450 on DigiFlex (Postpaid) and free on DigiSelect
(Postpaid) or GoSmart postpaid plan or higher as described in my blog article
entitled “Digicel
Upgrades Smart and Value Postpaid Plans to Smart Postpaid Plans geared towards
smartphones - More helpings of Data and International Calling Bundles is How I
Live Now”.
Get the DL750
for $8,760 (postpaid) & $10,950 (prepaid). https://t.co/Oya8uET90h

The
Samsung E1520 is priced at JA$1,950 on DigiFlex (Postpaid) and JA$1,560 on
DigiSelect (Postpaid) with the option to get a Free SIM (Subscribed
Identification Module) after purchase. As always, you can send the text 62 to
137 for further details on this promotion as shown below.

Clearly
the pricing battle between Digicel and LIME is STILL ongoing as noted in my blog article
entitled “Digicel's
Operation Bigger Better Value YouTube Ads - LIME Value Comparison with Ity and
Fancy Cat as Yendi Phillipps does Somersaults”, as it may be a foretelling
of what may come by Christmas 2014!
Toni-Ann Miller
receives Badge of Honour for Gallantry – True Hero unlike some of the Awardees
Good
to note that Heroes Day, a day on which many courageous Jamaicans receive
Awards from the GOJ (Government of Jamaica) was marked more by Acts of
Gallantry as noted in the article “Gallantry
Steals the Show”, published Tuesday, October 21, 2014 BY RICHARD JOHNSON Observer senior
reporter, The Jamaica Observer.
 |
Yes,
as hard as it is to believe, football coach and Television personality from
Television Jamaica Neville ‘Bertis’ Bell also received an OD (Order of
Distinction) for years of service. So too did The Jamaica Observer Lifestyle and
Social Content Novia McDonald-Whyte and veteran journalists Franklin McKnight
and Owen James of the Owen James Report Fame.
Of
particular note was the action of an 11 year old girl, Toni-Ann Miller from
Mount Hermon community of St Catherine, who, last year in 2013 at the age of 10
years old, ran into a burning building and rescued two (2) children from the
building.
 |
For
this act of selfless bravery, she received the Badge of Honour for Gallantry at
the National Honours and Awards Ceremony held on the lawns of King’s House as
noted in the article “11 Year-Old to be
Honoured for Heroic Act”, published October 19, 2014 By Alecia
Smith-Edwards, The Jamaica Information Service.
Digicel and the DL700 –
Possible Sale coming by December 2014 with DL800 in 2015
But
equally heroic is Telecom Provider Digicel extending the Sale of the super
popular DL700, which is slowly and ponderously giving way to the DL750, based
mainly on increasing traffic on my personal blog to my blog article
entitled “JA$13,688
Digicel DL750 Launched – Alcatel One Touch Pop C3 with Free TV App, DL600
issues in X-Men Origins First Class Days of Future Past”.
A hero is
normally someone who stands up for what is right even if it means standing
alone. Happy Heroes Day. pic.twitter.com/mJTj5uLFHv

So
does this hint at a possible sale come December 2014? Who will win the War for
the Iron Throne come Christmas in this Game of Phones? Will it be the Telecom
Provider JA$8,450 Digicel’s DL700
aka Alcatel
One Touch Pop C3 or the Telecom Provider LIME’s
JA$4999 Huawei Ascend Y330?
Or
will Digicel’s DL750 overshadow
the previous Budget smartphone completely and ushers in another update in 2015,
the DL800?
