AnonD-2956, 21 Sep 2011Are there any lags in UI like while scrolling homescreens, ... moreThat is because of motoblur, moto's UI. That actually is a downside, but as always we have a workaround, install launcherpro and it becomes as smooth as butter
Screen is very good, as far as I know no other phone of this price range gets even closer to resolution
Audio is good, not sony ericsson quality but loud and clear enuough
Mine came for 16k including insurance
Cant suggest you about defy+ wait, I couldn't

Hey guyz
I bought my defy 2 months b4 by flipkart 4 rs 15500/-. IT took 5 (business)days to have my phone.
When i bought it i saw th e camera wasn't working i felt heart broken, bt the video rec was working just fyn, soon enough i took it to service center. Those dumb heads didn't solve the issue & gave back my fone.I already knew that it was a software glitch I took a risk of updating to official froyo update via net by myself & thank GOD the camera started working fyn.
REVIEW:-
I am using fone multimedia & internet function more than just gaming.
CAMERA:
as gsmarena review says Camera is not par with rival 5MP phone such as galaxy ace & all. Saw it with my own eyes.
Low light photos r dumb. Full of grains & dots even photos took near to the tube light.
Photos took outdoor is avg or above avg bt when i zoom it looses its clarity quite quickly.
On positive side shutter time is much better than Galaxy Ace so we can take photos quickly.
Video Recording:
Almost ok. nice resolution better than galaxy ace stock froyo.
AUDIO:
Pretty much loud.Louder than Galaxy S. Speaker dosen't loose clarity in top vol.
but i wish 4 more sound bcoz v Indians live in a noisy environment.
Headphones R just average & the bass effect is again avg
The option of EQ is given inside the setting which is a pain. The bass boost option didn't give the req Kick into my sony headphone. Other options (surround sound) have grt effect.
VIDEO:
Stock player is dumb cant support AVI Of normal DVD rip films,high resolution video caused my fone to hang 4 the 1st time when i bought.
Added Rockplayer
superb app bt the fone hardware cant support video above 720p FLV files(avi i think its not that much of a concern plays almost fine). So HD video is a no go.
480p videos goes out of sync with the video & song while playing(Video lags behind).
BEWARE:
The fone doesn't have sharing of songs via Bluetooth
Yes DID any1 see this bug:: I was quite shocked to find out such a big omission. But i added a blutooth sharing app & it is working fyn.
The Bluetooth sometimes is a pain coz it will nt send files to the other fones. It arises only sometimes it makes me angry####
Internet
I didn't find any lag @ 1st but later wen we use browser 4 15 -30 mins then RAM gets filled up then it makes it Lag.
thank MOTO 4 providing Flash its a good feature & helps me to use the fone as my Desktop computer.
Online Streaming of films (Not youtube) bt from other sites causes a small hiccup while playing coz itz nt optimized 4 mobile works fyn with me. So am happy with that.
BATTERY:
I accidenlty switched on my WiFi & 4got to switch back off but the battery stayed up till 30%.
4 me it stay sup for 2-3 days coz I dont make long calls or SMS so That's it.
My Daily calls will not exceed 10- 15 mins.
seldom calls last up to 30 mins.
CALL QUALITY & RADIATION:
Superb call quality the ear piece is a delight to hear.
& Minimal radiation. My friends warned me that moto fones usually have high radiation but this 1 doesn't have that much radiation(the radiation is on par with other fones).
Usual 15-30 mins talking wont heat up my fone.
while using internet by wifi heats up.
RAM:
Though its said that 512mb ram is there, the actual ram is 478 in that 1/2 is consumed by Android system so end up with almost 220 mb memory.(This may vary to others coz i use to clean up my ram b4 openning any apps.)
RUGGEDNESS:
Fall out of my hands almost 15 times no problem works just fyn.
bt i didn't duck the fone in water to test the waterproofing but it is said by moto in the case that if u wanna duck the fone u must ensure the caps must b closely sealed up.
MUSIC PLAYER:
It is awesome finds out lyrics for English & some Hindi
But can't find Tamil & Malayalam song lyrics
IT can find u the video clip via youtube.
It's a cool feature & u can see others who r listening to the same song as u world wide. that's awesome feature I liked it very much.
GAMING:
Though I am not so addicted to gaming but I have installed famous free games such as angry birds, GT racing etc...
So lag or hang while playing the above games. That i can guarantee you.
racing thunder lite causes rare hiccups but after that settles down.
OVERALL :
Its a compact fone it have almost all the bells & whistles yet it s significantly smaller in its dimensions. So it is very hand than galaxy s or ace.
This is a awesome fone with very good hardware it have almost on par with galaxy s specs
same CPU with under clocked speed
Same Ram
A bit lower graphics
almost same screen size( 3.7 defy- 4 glxy s)
YES
the cryogen Mod will bring the beast inside defy
I will defiantly change it to CM7 after my warranty.

I am using this phone for the past two months.
It is overall a good phone to have it is lacking front camera, and HD video recording but it is very sturdy built with scratch proof gorilla glass. Same issues with the GPS lock as other phones locks fast if had internet if not takes atleast 10 - 15 mins and depends on weather.
