For that matter, will upgrading to any other Android version (that involves rooting) void the warranty?
And can someone explain or give me a website that explains why CM7 - Gingerbread is so much better than what my Defy has now: Android 2.2.2 - thanks. Comments here say CM7 is "nice" but what exactly are the extra features?

Voice recognition works!! Near 100% accurate. Text messages, emails, Google searches - yes the voice recognition is fantastic. I composed an email and a text message using voice recognition with perfect results; it was only when I started to speak fast on another email that it added an "s" to the word "smartphone" to make it plural. Incredible!

The camera is much better than I expected! Yesterday during a sunny day in Wellington I took 5mp widescreen pics and videos, then transferred them to a USB stick and plugged it in our 42in LCD TV - Wow, I am impressed!
The videos are clear, with vivid colours, and the photos are sharp and not pixelated at all. I did have to convert the videos from the Defy 3gp format to mp4 (done with the free Super Video Encoder), but 3gp plays just fine on PCs and will upload to YouTube and Facebook with no problem. I also have compared Defy 5mp pics with a Sony Ericsson 8mp phone camera and a Nikon 8mp digital camera; the result is the Defy is better than the 8mp SE and is surprising close to the Nikon. Of course there is no optical zoom on the Defy, and in low light there will be more noise with mobile phone cams than digital cameras.
After one week of ownership I was very thankful that I got a Defy because I dropped it onto concrete - but no problem at all - the screen and everything was fine.
I have studied *many* user comments here on gsmarena and can confirm the positive things that have been posted. During this time [late Dec 2011] Defy's have been offered at bargain prices and that helped me to grab one, and I am glad I did not get an HTC Wildfire S or an LG Optimus Black - they are good but imo the Defy beats them.
BTW, I have not yet upgraded from Android 2.2.2 mainly because I am not sure if that will void the warranty and also as a person new to Android I am happy with version 2.2.2.
Many people ask if the Defy will do video calls. No it cannot because it does not have a front facing camera. If there is someway to use the normal back facing camera (holding it up to a mirror so the other person can see you), I have not found how to do it and assume it cannot be done. Skype voice will work, of course.
Battery - it has lasted longer than expected. As others here say, you can get 3 days with light use and one full day with heavy use (although hours of continuous game playing will quickly deplete any mobile phone). In any case, I purchased a spare battery as I will be traveling in SE Asia soon and may not be able to charge it easily. You can get cheap generic batteries so if you are worried about battery life get one, or a genuine Motorola battery (as I did).
Finally, if you have not used Android before, get ready for some fun! It is a challenge, but if you like to learn and explore, then you will have a good time. Otherwise, get someone to show you the ins and outs of Android :-)

I just got the DEFY. The actual feel and workings, screen scrolling and menu selections, are smooth. I own a motorola ROKR E1(sluggish compared to this unit), recently sold my X10 Experia(similar inter face), and still use my Motorola ROKR E8(smooth but limited options). I'm in the Bahamas where we have just recently gone 4G on our network BTC.....will post more comments later

Well I'll be damned! I have an iPhone 4 for personal use and a motorola defy for my work
Phone. I work in heavy construction areas and always have it in my pocket (the defy), even apparently on the heavy duty hot wash cycle in my washing machine! But I'll be damned it was still in my pocket! Plugger er in and voila! Worked without skipping a beat, defiantely a tougher phone than I thought, even the water indicators were still white, awesome!
