I'm wondering what happens to the earpeice, speaker and mic when the phone is submerged in water?

I mean how do they get water resistant? is there a film in front of the 3 place?

and also

Did anyone care to protect the camera lens cover? additional layer of screen protector film or so?

I also need advice, whats the best option to get this Defy.

oversea set or local set.

what sort of retail shop should we visit? as i know locally theres really no specialize shop for Motorola phone as I recall, its almost like theres no local Motorola support. no kiosk, no banner. most of it are like nokia,lg,se,samsung etc. i know that we could get it in any mobile phone shop but where is the better place/option to visit. like they really know/deal Motorola well/before. reliable, knowledgeable. not just buy and bye bye shop.

do aftersales service centre of motorola exist? like brightstar is the local authorize dealer, are they going to repair the phone if is faulty?
klcc outlet is closed up like years ago, wonder wht happen.

so could we start up a list of like; to giv new/future owner reference for them to get it easier. more info would be better.

after collecting the data we could compile out options/where to buy.

-where we get the set (normal hp shop,online, etc)
-origin of the set (local,ap,oversea)
-if possible together with the price tag?
-manufacture date? rclxub.gif

personally i nvr go by any motorolas before be it owning or seing it. i couldn't find anywhere for its dummy,display or demo set.

maybe i'm too used to nokia and se concept store.

Just buy from gtrowa on the forum. He owns a shop in Sunway Pyramid and his service is pretty good. He installed Papago for me when i got it and also charged up the phone for me before i went and collect it since i told him i wanted to use it right-away laugh.gif

and yes brightstar is the official distributor and last time there used to be many Motorola ServiceOne outlets around Malaysia, now all dunno gone where already rclxub.gif

i heard that the motorola service center is somewhere in sunway though. Can't really recall.


Added on February 7, 2011, 10:58 pmAnd if there's no support for Motorola in Malaysia, Maxis won't be selling it no? tongue.gif laugh.gif

thanks for the recommending an option notworthy.gif

what maxis? i went to pavillion,sunway pyramid,bbtone maxis centre plus a few of their maxis exclusive partner store yet, none of them has a brochure or dummy about motorola defy yet they advertise like its on fire.

i ask their staff in sunway centre, he say "sini memang tak ada la, >kalau u bijak<, pergi internet search motorola outlet"

i have to say i'm not smart, because there's no way on internet u could find any motorola local support.

i even called up motorola.my hotline(which i suspect based in sg) angmo speaking to me, they say no info about retail shop and also distributor. cool uh

How to completely turn off the data connection?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


This is some good info, have been trying to find codes like this for so long.

like older manufacture ori os, nokia's, se's etc theres always code like this to check alot of info of their phone from
software to hardware.

Anymore on this? I never use any motorola phone before so may not know any of this code.

I wanted to check like total call time, manufacture date/place, test phone hardware and etc.

Would really appreciate if willing to share k thumbup.gif

thank you very much eveready smile.gif

although not all is working, because it seems to be code for samsung android.

i have something similiar and not so complete, but is in an apps form, so it should be easier to access without pressing code on dialer.
it is call "Secret Setting" free in market.

but too bad, till now i still haven't got access to Hardware manufacture date.

i duno where to find.
