Great heh ?

BUT the specs INDICATE that it will perform worse WITH GAMES, which i couldn't test on IFA obviously. (gasp yes i held it in my hands). Jeez .Other than that i said absolutely nothing but the obvious letdowns even you can't deny.

i don't understand the Oprah statement because well nobody cares about her outside the US, but she probably promotes it because Moto wanted to promote it and it's cheaper to give away.

How come no big deal when there is no competitor? Does that mean Moto is MIELS AHEAD of the competition as nobody else knows how to make a rugged phone?

The space shuttle is unique without competitor, is it being no big deal?

Exactly how bad Crystal Talk is in early Moto devices? My friend is using U9 and once I spoke with him and thought he was at home, he said he was at a carnival!

Just because you don't appreciate a rugged smartphone, that doesn't mean people out in the woods don't need one.

The numbers on paper may not necessary translate real performance.

A 2011 Honda Accord (US version) LX has 177hp. Does it really go that much faster than a 1996 Accord with 140 or so HP?

I am currently using Motorola Milestone, Quench, and Cliq. Yes, Milestone is no doubt being the sportscar of the batch. Though the rest are also "ok". (especially vs. Symbian!), especially taking price as consideration. The latter 2 are like regular sedans, instead of being buses or trucks.

Be glad to hear more from your ACTIAL EXPERIENCE when using Defy, as most of us haven't even seen the real thing.

Anonymous, 16 Sep 20101: "It's the strongest Android phone available" (... moreCheck what Moto 800Mhz CPU can do.

2 upcoming Moto midle end phone only 800Mhz.

Moto MB520 Jordan annonced as Defy for TMobile with 3.7 inch

Moto MB525 Kobi and with 4.3 inch for AT&T

Both with 800Mhz and android 2.1 but beat Galaxy S.

Compare to Samsung Galaxy s a high end phone with 1Ghz.

Anonymous, 16 Sep 20101: "It's the strongest Android phone available" (... moreRead again what I post. Do not post for pleasure and reply to me because you hate Moto.

I said maybe can update to HD video.

Can also update to 2.2

I did compare it with upcoming phones that have same CPU and it better. Which android phone can last 30 minute under water 1 m deep? Only Defy now you can with B Berry but it's not amdroid and I hate BB phones.

Moto Defy it's special and Ophar W made it so popular in is show. She only comment about 1 android phone in the past HTC Evo and now it's Jordan android Moto phone call Defy.

Whatever, you don't like it but I do so keep voting down Moto phone hater.

Droid Pro, 16 Sep 2010What is wrong with Moto Jordan call Defy. Many upcoming ... more1: "It's the strongest Android phone available" (2x) Strong like in tough? No big deal when you have no competitor.

2: 2.2 is nowhere near "sure" if you check out motorolas update-policy in the past.

3: HD-video on a non-HD screen. recording and streaming maybe and that's not even mentioned by anyone but you.

4: Crystal talk was bad in earlier Motorola devices.

5: New blackberry bold battery got 1550mAh and that's only one example of genuine hardware, not 3rd party batterys. Battery-managers are mandatory and widely available on the market.

---

6: No 2D/3D graphics accelerator

7: No DVD/HD so called "multimedia class", just VGA/DVD ( http://focus.ti.com/lit/ml/swpt024b/swpt024b.pdf ) Check it, considering point 3.

It's the strongest android phone available.

4. Cristal talking (Active noise cancellation with dedicated micro)

5. Best battery life 1540 mAh come with battery manager like the Droid X and Droid 2.

If we are talking about useless capabilities, why would i need facebook and twitter while climbing a mountain? Why should i watch videostreams while working in the woods... The graphics a phone call pull off are just as important to todays smartphones as every other component.

Moto probably can do that, by adding some US$50~$100 to the pricetag. Maybe you can afford one, but for the mass majority, they prefer mid-range priced phones.

this is really spoiler:

OMAP 3610 inside this phone is based on Cortex-A8 core, but it lacks integrated PowerVR SGX graphics co-processor!! )-8

I'm so puzzled why on Earth they didn't used OMAP 3620!

In other words forget about games on this phone! And probably even on FLash 10.1!!!

And that strongly sugest lack of FroYo for this phone )-8

FAIL Moto, FAIL

Moto have a new application called battery manager. This is another option that make Moto android phones batteries to take long. This started with Flipout and now you can find it in Droid X, Droid 2, Charm and also most of the upcoming Moto phones. Surely Defy have it we just need to wait for the review of this phone.

also add as part of update to the old devices like Cliq or Dext, Droid 1, Milestone XT720.
