I got my defy before 5 weeks n frm very first days i was noticing that its earpiece is cracking, n this problem was increasing day by day, i had read in many forums that it has a similar earpiece to few sony ericsson phones. so i changes its eapiece n put my old sony ericsson phone and its working perfect eventhough it sounds better than b4. I like my defy n now one and only problem has been sorted out.

Mangesh G., 22 Jun 2011Hello Defy users,
I am planning to buy this phone. just... moreFM radio - Yes
Mine is officially updated through Motorola Site to Froyo, brings some nice changes, better battery life and 2.3 is available as a custom ROM.
Vlingo is a Android app and will work on this phone.It has its own voice command thing but I havent used it.
Battery life on mine is 2 days if I use it a lot. 2.5 days if im not to busy with it.
Supports live wall papers, and they dont seem to consume any more battery life that static wall papers do

Hello Defy users,
I am planning to buy this phone. just want to know few things as follows;
1] Does it have FM radio?
2] Anybody triedout Froyo Or Gingerbread with custom rom? how is the performance, battery life after upgrade?
3] Anybody tried any third party 'Speech to Text' software in it (such as Vlingo). It helps in Text message, where you need to only speak and the text will appear on your message board.
4] Avarage battery life of Defy with 2.1 android?
5] Does it support Live Wallpaper?
Waiting for your reply.

The main reason people root their Android device for freedom and control, when you root your Android phone you gain full control over your system and can tweak it to your liking.. :) but this will void the warranty :(

another question guys =)
Main disadvantages
•Android 2.1 is an outdated OS version
•Limited storage for installing apps
•No smart dialing
•No HD video recording
•No DivX video support out of the box
•Equalizer controls are not within the music player
•No secondary video-call camera
gsmarena wrote this on the review of this phone as main disadvantage. these 2 disadvantage raises questions for me:
•Limited storage for installing apps
and
•No DivX video support out of the box
I thought this phone has 2gb internal memory and in addition package also includes 2gb sd card right?? (even here in the Philippines the 2gb sd card is included in the package right??) Then why does this still have a shortage for installing apps??
Also what does "•No DivX video support out of the box" mean?? this is for playing videos right?? Can this be installed after buying the phone??
Thanks again in advanc guys, sorry, im not so much of a techie person=)
