JA$8,450 DL700 and JA$1,950 Samsung E1520 on Sale until October 26 2014 - Why DL750 Sale coming by December 2014 with DL800 in 2015

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”.



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”.



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?
