the free version is good enough actually. or u can try the adw launcher as well, see which one suits you the most.

yes it will void the warranty. but u cannot remove motoblur stuff because they are interconnected to each other, it might actually break some important apps in the phone.

defy is equipped with 2gb of internal storage so there is no need to remove any motoblur stuff, and it is quite snappy as well. but without motoblur (if we can flash our phone to AP sbf) we can free more memory thus increase the responsiveness of the phone when it is running many apps in the background.

so far, even without root u can do a lot of things with it. any other reason to root other than removing bloated apps?

Phone is still under warranty, if there is a need to send for claim, we can unroot it back. If you have deleted some of the blur apps for example, you can flash it back & return it to factory settings.

Deleting system apps is not recommended, I would advise to wait for the asia pacific sbf to be available first, which comes without motoblur.

quite expensive considering you still tied to a contract. for 24 months it should have been free.

kodak perfect touch software is just for picture enhancement, not much settings can be done, or its just that i havent explore everything in the phone yet.

i believe maxis set is unlocked as well.

the downside is you gonna be stuck with the contract, but not stuck with the phone. you can always get a new phone and use the same plan.

Already updated google maps, but I normally use third party gps app with built in map so no need to depend on data connection.

I'm using Sygic Aura

Froyo will come Q1 2011, my best guess would be March 2011

i'm not using any of them. i'm using the 'ehem' version

if u buy the hd7, u will be tied to another contract, when the time comes there will be a better phone and u wanna upgrade again. and the cycle continues...

only us version got white color. others black.

iphone will only come around july/august, thats the life cycle. so will you wait for another 7 months?

now getting a different message when checking system updates, looks like the update server for defy has been up. hopefully there is an update in the near future.

defy is a medium spec phone and released later than xt720 thus lower price.

cannot use custom rom on defy yet. stock is quite good already.

What kind of file format that you use for the movies? I normally use mp4 and I haven't experienced any sync issue yet

Very bad & sad news indeed... My Defy earpiece has stopped working now

Turns out it is a manufacturing defect, confirmed by mobile-review.com. And most probably affects all Defy, just a matter of time for it to happen. Currently waiting an answer from Clove...

i'm going to motorola service center today and see what they can do.

bought from uk, unsure whether our service center will honor the warranty or not.

Added on December 21, 2010, 11:46 amjust called moto center, they will consider phones coming outside malaysia as no warranty thus service charge will be applied

actually i'm thinking of fixing it myself

Stratos: I thought dell accept any streak wherever it came from isn't it?

service charge would be rm20. defy is already launched here so they should have the ability to fix it now.

the concern now is how to convince the technical people to replace the defective earpiece ONLY.

already tried all the suggested methods but no success. i really2 want to open this phone myself
