Hi Guys,

Motorola defy(Amateur review)

Many thanks, to user reviews here i got my Moto Defy. Its been almost 2 months since i got this phone n i am gonna point out a few things that might help prospective buyers.

Moto defy is my first Android phone i previously owned a Samsung Corby pro.

Motorola Defy: The haptic feedback touchscreen is flawless. It works like magic. (10/10)

Battery life: Battery life is good as long as you dont install a few rogue applications from the market which drain your battery(7/10)

Camera: Camera is average its not as good as you would expect a 5MP camera to be, but its not bad like how some of the reviews suggest. Its good (7/10)

Music & Video: The stock music player is pretty awesome , it auto detects lyrics n the music player volume is loud. (9/10)

Video player is good, u can download and play most video formats n the clarity of Hd videos will definitely blow your mind! (9/10)

Messaging: The messaging font is slightly small but you can install Messaginf Apps so thats good as well(7/10)

Android: I got the stock 2.1 version n it works fine i still get to do everything i can think of. Have not decided on a upgrade yet

Games: You can play Hd games like Raging thunder etc n it so far has supported every game i have installed. No prob(9/10)

How durable is the Motorola Defy>? I am not one of those freaks to have tried slmming the phone on the floor or dipping it in water! It definitely is rugged and light weight! It fell from my bed a couple of times, not a scratch. I dont have to take extra caution while it rains which is awesome so yeah it is pretty rugged as compared to most phones i have used.(9/10)



Verdict: Definitely worth the price!! I considered buying Samsung Galaxy, Htc Wildfire but clearly you have a winner right here. Motorola Defy is definitely a good investment!!

          AnonD-2991, 14 Nov 2011what is the latest update of android version released by mo... moreAs I know so far... Official v. 2.3 has released

          But I bought about 10 days ago was installed from Factory is V. 2.2

          And many of my friends using CM7 as you wish as well

          But... I think it was not easy like you download and install like application in Market.

          You need some skill or educated preparing before working on it to use CM7 or any Mod ROM.

          For now... I'm still using Official Factory v.2.2 ROM

          Coz I'm learning on how to Root and install Mod ROM :)

          to make sure that will not broke my Defy ^_^

                  hi , u must have missed something . did you mean there is no vibration when messages are received ? you may go to Text Messaging > press the menu key > Messaging settings. There , u will see an option for vibration for incoming messages once u scroll down .

                              i am a long-time Nokia n900 user but since i used defy i really fell in love with this phone, very good for its price range, but it has its own weakness too

                              pros:
                              excellent battery life compared to other droids
                              waterproof claim lived up to its name
                              actually good music player
                              very responsive screen
                              high ppi density, screen vivid for a TFT
                              rugged yet good-looking, not iphone look-a-like

                              cons:
                              wifi reception not as good as my n900
                              camera 5MP snapper look liked nokia's 3.2MP one, very bad

                              it's a good buy, do not hesitate to try one
