Info about S-TFT (from wikipedia also):

Name | Nickname | Advantage
Super TFT | IPS | Wide viewing angle

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD

I do know some AMOLED's today have better viewing angles (this is what I saw), but I find Defy's screen to be more than sufficient for my needs. It's not the best there is (average performance under sunlight) - me, myself, was satisfied so I bought it - but if you have some specific expectations - you should definitely try before you buy and decide for yourself.

                            I have a Defy. This is my 1st smartphone. (but my 1st mobile was the old analouge, Motorola batphone "brick" in 1990)

                            My comments on Defy:

                            Like the size in palm and therefore grip on phone.
                            Navigating around the phone and customising was easier than I was expecting.
                            Simple access to my email - but I was already using gmail.
                            Like the ability to control how the phone accesss data and the clear data use counter.
                            Can view document attachments easily enough.
                            Moisture resistance (it got wet when washing the car).
                            Reception ability in marginal areas (rural optus .au)
                            Car cradle and antenna coupler coming from carcomm(if pre-ordered)
                            Camera adequate, pictures ok, video ok. (I take a lot of outdoors pictures).
                            Navigation features is acceptable for where I live (rural Australia)
                            Battery life about 2 days and slowly improving.
                            Biased towards social networking and what I'd call "trash" news like its the be all and end all - but thats smartphones in 2011...sigh.
                            Swype on a smaller screen is a pain - I'm still getting used to that. One day these younger people will get gorilla fingers from life's hard knocks and work :)
                            Cant see the benefits of Motorblur and/or front end user view average is in content.

                            My Summary: Defy seems to be a reasonable entry smartphone for mature people who dont care about the intricacies of Andriod 2.2 vs whatever; they just want it to work and be sturdier than the likes of iphone. Reception ability is a bonus.

                            Tip: I f you too are new to smartphones download the .pdf manual for the phone from motorola.com.

                                        Motoblur is a biiit laggy :P... if it bothers you - try LauncherPro or maybe ADW or something else - they all work flawlessly :D
