-- very loud indeed. clear? clear enough for me, alarm always wake me up, but sometimes i wake up earlier than the alarm.

2. issit fast for the GPS to lock signal from satellites?
-- must be under clear sky then it will lock quite fast

3. is the screen responsive enough especially for fast-typing sms
-- very responsive as other moto android phones. with multitouch keyboard fast typing is quite good and accurate. or u can swype the words.

4. is the screen viewable under hot sunlight
-- currently im using the lowest brightness, under hot sun screen barely viewable, need to crank the brightness up. not an issue.

5. the camera, in scale of 5 (1 very poor, 3 moderate, 5 very nice for a phone), which one u will give.
-- i give 3 only. it focus and snap very fast but image quality is so so only. picture can be enhance with kodak photo touch built in.

thanks a lot in advance!!

hi guys,

i have this weird problem, i created some folders on the home screen to organize some icons. i renamed the folder accordingly. however after turning off the phone and on back, whatever that i renamed will revert back to "folder"

anyone of you experience this as well?

2. issit fast for the GPS to lock signal from satellites?
hm.. open space sure ok, u know lah it is just a A-GPS, boleh tahan[/B]

3. is the screen responsive enough especially for fast-typing sms
so far me haven't "fast" typing sms, just swipe or press[/B]  tongue.gif

4. is the screen viewable under hot sunlight
Well, u can always adjust to 100% bright, me always adjust to fit what i need to[/B]

5. the camera, in scale of 5 (1 very poor, 3 moderate, 5 very nice for a phone), which one u will give.
oh .. i'll give 1 if compare to my Moto ZN5! but give 3 if compare with my wife samsung SGH-900. One more thing i like the video very much, not HD but smooth & clear[/B][cool.gif

Ok, I tried to do this three times already, I put my games icon all in a folder and rename the folder. Restart 3 times. The name did not change.

The thing is, I just change to 2.34 sbf this morning so my test could not be accurate.

I don't think you should have the mindset that Defy can survive drops from short heights, it really depends on the surface you dropped it on.

Just gave back the phone to my friend. Damn i miss that phone now! cry.gif

Yeap the keyboard is nice. The 3.7" screen size is just nice for landscape qwerty keyboard. In portrait format i'd prefer to use swype though. So much more convenient to type 1 hand with Swype xD

and usually i connect some lanyard accessory to make pulling the phone out of my jeans easier laugh.gif
