                        Yet Another Android, 16 Jun 2011Amazing how much XDA has done for Android. Without XDA, And... moreI own a Defy and I'm really satisfied with its performance, OH NO wait!! that's not because of the heavily bloated and amazingly slow 2.1 Eclair I got pre-installed, its totally because of the custom ROMs. Open Source FTW! xda FTW! My defy reaches an amazing 1600 on quadrant with no overclock.

                                      The same update is available in Romania, and France, there is a small issue with camera that shoots black pictures after update, but it can easily be solved by clearing cached data of camera app. The phone is a little bit snappier with the Froyo. Any way the biggest performance issue is the heavy motoblur interface, with LauncherPro the phone acts like any top single core phone.
