The Motorola Defy is head and shoulders above other mobile phones when it comes to build quality – at least in terms of robustness. If you need a phone that's virtually indestructible
This is the one to have. You'll find incredibly tough plastics in place on the front and rear of the Motorola Defy
And this handset also uses Gorilla Glass for the display. This helps to prevent scratches

There's plenty to like about Motorola's Defy – the screen is fantastic, it's compact and light and the unobtrusive toughened exterior should help it last. Even if you don't need the MotoBlur social networking aggregation, Motorola's other software twea...
Homescreens could run more smoothly, Menus aren't responsive enough
The Defy is easy to use and is a good example of a tough smartphone that should be great news for anybody who spends a lot of time working outdoors—or drops their phone a lot. It's solid but still offers the multimedia services we'd expect from a smart...
Abstract: Motorola’s Android plans seem to consist of making as many different types of phones as possible, and it seems the company’s researchers have decided we’re pretty clumsy with our precious smartphones. The Motorola Defy is IP-tested to work through s...
Waterproof, Great web browser, Decent battery life
Qwerty keyboard prone to mistakes, No camera shutter button, High ISO noise

After using it for about a week, I quite liked the Defy. There are more and more Android phones in the market, and to the average consumer, the choice can be pretty confusing. It's good to see Motorola trying something different - the Defy is a one-of-...
