We travelled for two years around the world and we had a pack full of electronics including our laptop, camera, video camera and even our mobile phone. One thing we didn’t use much was our phone because when we bought a cheap $50 phone just to make do. We made a big mistake as it spent the whole time in our backpack and we never used it because we, well, I dropped it in the first month of our travels and it also didn’t have internet capabilities.
Looking back on our decision we wished we would have taken the time to research phones and which ones were best for travel. The Motorola Defy Mini is almost ‘everything proof’ and is the perfect companion for rough and rugged travel.
