  • Large display; good features; distinctive to look at
  • The processor could be faster, and it could look a little classier
  • The Defy hits a happy medium between handsets with more advanced features, and the kinds of ruggedised device that could be used on a building site...

  • Seriously rugged, almost all screen, great hardware
  • Android 2.1, Motoflippingblur
  • A rugged phone that even the non-clumsy will appreciate. That's quite an achievement....

  • The engineering feat that enables the Motorola DEFY to cram in a 3.7in display within its 59x107x13.4mm frame means you get every bit as much screen space to view web pages as you do on a fully-featured smartphone such as the Samsung Galaxy S. Clearly...

  • 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, and als
  • It's not perfect, however. We don't like the MotoBlur software on the Motorola Defy, as it's laggy, unintuitive and has an effect on battery life.
  • The Motorola Defy is a great handset. If you're looking for an Android device, it's well worth a look, with the added bonus of being one of the toughest smartphones currently on the market. Motorola Defy is tagged with Motorola Defy, Motorola and Smart...

  • Super connected, design, it's hard, battery performance better than average
  • Lacking video capture, Motoblur can lack features where you want them
  • Overall the Motorola Defy is an impressive and likable handset. Some of the Motorola Blur elements get a little lost, so we quickly found ourselves adding additional applications to serve up a more conventional social networking platter. But we do like...

  • Good screen, Great media player with connected features, Gorilla Glass screen, Water resistant, Relatively long battery life
  • Poorly located microSD card slot, Not enough on board memory, Android 2.1, No smart dialler, Poor camera
  • A phone with several very strong usability features, and handy ruggedisation. The Motorola Defy helps Motorola climb up another rung in its rehabilitation from has-been to leading light...

  • Discreetly ruggedized casing, Android 2.1
  • Quite bulky, LED rather than Xenon flash, No Flash video
  • The toughest Android out there also packs in a good range of features including Motoblur, 5 megapixel camera, A-GPS, HSDPA 3G and Wi-Fi ...

  • Appealing design; Sharp display; Tough exterior and screen; Impressive smart-phone functions
  • Ugly rubber port covers; Camera performance could be better
  • The Motorola Defy brings smart-phone power to those who usually sacrifice features for resilience. It lacks Android 2.2 and its processor could be faster, but as an entry-level device, it deserves a sizeable fan base....

  • IP67 certification, big screen, responsive capacitive touchscreen, good value,
  • No Android 2.2, not as stylish as some nonrugged alternatives, MotoBlur is soso
  • A rugged phone without the usual premium, the Motorola Defy offers the full smartphone experience for those that don’t want to treat their phone with kid gloves...
