Motorola DEFY

I rarely write phone reviews, mainly because now with the android and apple markets, the sky is the limit with what mobile devices can do. A mobile phone has ceased to just be what its name implies, and has become a small rectangular P.A., storing all details about you, your friends, what everyone is up to, and opening gateways galore to the wonderful digital world. As companies compete with each other to produce the best handset and various network providers compete with each other to provide the best monthly tariffs and pay as you go charges, it's easy to get completely lost in what you're ... more

Allow me to go on record for saying that there is no such thing as an iPhone killer. Remember when the Samsung Omnia came out and everyone was marvelling at how it was going to destroy the iPhone 3G? Well, it didn't, and that is because all phones that come out after the iPhone did were all copies. Some were good, but mostly were bad, and the Omnia was an example of a bad copy, having to use a stylus to perform accurate touch screen input, pathetic accelerometer sensitivity and a horrifying operating system (Windows Mobile 6.5. Shudder). Google's Android operating system came closest, and in ... more

The Motorola DEFY is a very good phone. It is an Android smartphone made by Motorola and has the added feature of being a high durable phone. Motorola promotes it as being 'life proof' (dust proof and water and scratch resistant). My overall opinion of the features the DEFY has is very good. As it is a touch screen phone, the importance of a sensitive screen is highly necessary.

I got my Motorola Defy over a year ago and still have it to this day. I originally ordered it from a New Zealand website which ordered them from overseas, an asian country if I remember correctly - unsure of where exactly. When it first arrived I was in low! Too scared to do anything with it, that's how beautiful it was. It is easy to use - has awesome features almost identical to the iPhone except it ran on Android instead. The scratch resistance is great, waterproof option is also awesome (definitely one of my party tricks) and the added benefits of the phone are awesome. However, my phone ... more

Brilliant phone, everything works very well. Takes a long time to set up and get the hang of it because of the amount of features is has, but after that it is a very simple phone and easy to use and view text messages. I think if you are thinking of getting a phone within the price range of Motorola's and HTC's i believe it is definitely the best one to get, because of the durability, that the motorola has, the screen is alot harder to scratch, also the back of the phone has a lock on it, so as long as its locked (which it always should be) the battery will not come out and you have to spend ... more
