Motorola Defy to be launched on October 21 in Europe?

Motorola Defy, the company’s second rugged Android smartphone, was officially unveiled in early September. At that time, it was only mentioned that the handset would be available in the fourth quarter of the year, so no exact launch date was given.

Well, the launch date (in France, at least) might be October 21.

MobiFrance discovered that Motorola will hold a press event on that day for launching a “life proof smartphone.” The water drops on the invitation (see below) are most likely an indication that the smartphone is water proof – just like the Defy is.

Of course, Moto may actually unveil a completely new rugged smartphone, although I doubt it. I guess we’ll find out what exactly is going on only after the October 21 event kicks off.

It’s worth mentioning that the Defy is already featured on Motorola France’s website.



Apart from being released in Europe, the Motorola Defy will also be available in the US, where T-Mobile will offer it in time for the holiday season.

          Anonymous, 07 Oct 2010Where did you find the benchmark tests for Defy?http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/406478/Defy-Power

          And before somebody asks why it's in german, that's because it's the most important market for the defy until it hits the US later this year, resulting in earlier hands-on tests etc.

                      Anonymous, 05 Oct 2010OMAP 3610 does not have PowerVR core.The quadrant benchmark proofs you wrong. Motorola added a PowerVr to the OMAP 3610 on their own it seems...


                      GPU (OpenGL)
                      Vendor: Imagination Techonogies
                      Renderer: PowerVR SGX 530
                      Version: OpenGL ES-CM 1.1
                      Max texture units: 4
                      Max texture size: 2048
                      Max lights: 8
                      VBO: supported
                      Frame buffers: unsupported
                      Cube maps: supported
                      Texture combiners: supported
                      Crossbar combiner: supported

                      Infos from quadrant. 1026 points achieved btw on 2.1 which would be absolutely impossible without a dedicated GPU anyway.

                          Hi, i'm the guy who explained how the missing GPU would destroy the defy in benchmarks.

                          New tests with quadrant and neocore have shown, the Defy seems to have a GPU...a new PowerVR at that. The power of the Defy seems to be almost the same as the Nexus One with Froyo...AND AT ANDROID 2.1 !!!!! That means, if froyo reaches the defy it will outperform everthing but the newer high-end phones. Now imagine that piece of awesome overclocked !

                          But why isn't Motorola telling people about the GPU ???

                            Guys and gals - it will have very very limited availability worldwide. Germany first and last in plans at the moment. there are no plans to ship it to top 3 mobile markets (Chinese, US and Russian) at all right now.
