amir, 29 Aug 2011today i will go to buy defy...but i have some questions pls... moreIn reply to your questions... it uses gorilla glass, so yes it is scratch resistant (not un-scratch able but really hard to scratch),

and battery is acceptable for an android phone.

You cannot "upgrade" the processor but it is the same chip used in many other phones clocked at 1Ghz, so you can overclock it to 1ghz safely (you need to root your phone), some have even clocked it to 1.2Ghz safely...

as for android 2.3, it is supported, currently there are CyanogenMod7 Roms as well as leaked 2.3 ROMS that can be used on Defy, more will come later, and since it is the same chipset as Defy+, the ROMS will hopefully be compatible.

All these can be achieved if you are willing to get your hands "dirty" by rooting and installing custom recovery (yes it will void warranty), if not, then you need to stick to the original ROM and configuration which may be a bit slow.. :D

              AnonD-14164, 26 Aug 2011hey ... motorola defy or Acer liquid Metal?? which is bette... moreComparing the defy with the Acer liquid mt,i see that defy has a lot of better features than the acer... in fact, the defy is waterproof(can be submerged to about little more than a meter in the water). well i see that the defy is much lighter than the liquid... so, it will feel light in your hand... by the way, the defy comes with 2 gigs inbuilt memory... and the liquid dosent have radio... so i bet you will like the defy more...

                raj, 24 Aug 2011Hi all, I am willing to buy an android phone, but I am con... moreI am using Wildfire S for last 1.5 month. I recommand you to go for Motorola Defy.

                I too selected Defy & Wildfire S earlier but choose wildfire S for latest OS. but with my experience i will strongly recommand Defy.

                Android is Superb. Anyone wants to select the android phone, do check these primary criteria. Atleast 1500 mha battery, large internal memory (Very important) and excellent screen resolution, sturdy hardware. Android 2.2 is more than enough for all sorts of Applications & Games.

                Hope this ease your phone selection. :-)

                    For those asking about Defy+ (Defy Plus), it is not released yet, but is supposed to be better, using the same chipset clocked at 1Ghz, and will come with Android 2.3 and a higher capacity battery (1700mah) no other improvements over the current model has been announced except some slight cosmetic upgrades

                      raj, 24 Aug 2011Hi all, I am willing to buy an android phone, but I am con... moreMotorola Defy uses 800mhz TI OMAP 3630 (supports 1Ghz) and supports 10 point multi touch, is scratch resistant, water resistant, and has 3.7" screen with resolution 480 x 854, battery 1540mah...

                      so i say it is definitely better than the HTC wildfire which has only 600mhz processor, barely supports multitouch(only 2 point), small 3.2" screen, resolution of 320 x 480, battery only 1200mah (Defy is also much better than Acer Liquid)

                        The Defy CPU is TI OMAP3 architecture OMAP3630 (same chipset as Nokia N9, Nokia N950, Motorola Milestone 2,Motorola Cliq 2, Pre 2, Droid X, Droid 2, Archos 101, Archos 70, Archos 43, Archos 32, Archos 28, LG Optimus Black, Samsung I9003 Galaxy S)

                        And it has a GPU PowerVR SGX530. It also supports 10 point multi-touch (confirmed)
