the best all weather phone. touch is good even when wet and can take pictures underwater. as for its hardware, no all weather phone beat it except for the small screen. battery is good (for me). really glad that i bought this phone

    The phone is smaller than expected. I would not consider a rugged phone, just water safe. I have always been a fan of sony phones, however I expected a little better. Louder volume in headset, and battery life needs improvement. The User interface is great as well as connectivity.

            A quick question for Active & Defy+ users : which one can be used ideally to snap a picture or video underwater ? I read through the forum and it seems no concrete answers for it. But I m sure Active can do so as it has camera shuttle button to do the job...no ?

                      this is perfect most likely for sporty women. small phone but tough!

                      Motorola Defy+ is perfect for men! but they also created a Defy Mini. cute! lemme check it out soon when it comes in the local market.

                            Amazing device....
                            1. Amazing sound quality (open & in headset both)
                            2. Every call u can listen even at noisy places like market, pubs etc....
                            3. Works flawless even under water
                            4. Touch screen is superb.
                            5. Descent camera quality not superb,
                            6. Display screen awesome, great user interface.
                            7. Full HD (720p).
                            8. with various accessories(as per use, depends person to person)
                            9. Internet speed is good.
                            10.No problem in typing messages, chatting, sms etc.(if u r a gud user).

                            Three basic problems
                            1. Battery back-up is bad.
                            2. No secondary Camera.
                            3. Small screen(only to those who wants big screen.

                            If u r happy with small screen then it is best device than Motorola Defy+

                              I dont think that the target customers for all-weather Androids is all that sensitive to 3-4 mm extra thickness in return for a hefty 3000 mAh battery. Instead the manufactors beat around the bush with the usual standard 1200-1600 MAh crap. At least ONE manufactor should release at least ONE all-weather model for us who prioritize extensive battery-juice above anything else. Thats all Im asking.
