Maxis just brought in the flipout and charm. Now we wait for defy and milestone 2.

How about underwater video recording - http://phandroid.com/2010/11/05/motorola-d...-doesnt-flinch/

They should have used a different model, if u know what i mean

Too bad that this phone cant take underwater photos. It doesn't have physical camera shutter button and capacitive touchsreen wont work underwater. But there is a camera app that allows you to make the volume rocker buttons as a shutter button, who knows maybe its possible. Or just use a ziplock bag instead

lets try order this phone from uk. see if it defy the customs too

managed to throw it around in the office today... havent been brave enough to put it underwater tho

the office floors are carpeted thats why i can throw it hehe so far no scratches whatsoever yet (knock on wood).

its nice to see the faces of my colleagues when i throw the phone in front of them. later i will drop it into a glass of water and see their reaction LOL

yes i order direct from uk

I didn't know much about android versions but will gingerbread or honeycomb make your phone sandproof, dustproof, impactproof and waterproof?

Someone else has done a better job at testing the defy toughness, so I guess I don't need to do the same to my phone.

Here you go - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW95dBEsskw

have rooted the phone. time to trim down some blur stuff...

paid gbp284 for it.

Some nice things about this phone...

- notification LED like the original milestone
- built in 3g mobile hotspot app, no need to have root to do wifi tether
- omap 3610 with sgx 530 gpu
- small and light
- 3.7 inch gorilla glass screen
- got built-in battery manager, something like juice defender i think
- got data manager, monitor and control data connection
- camera auto focus very fast even in low light area

not so nice things...

- it has motoblur, somehow crippled the performance of the phone a bit. straight away replaced with launcher pro for smoother user interface
- camera quality not so good, can refer to youtube
- no fm radio

I guess you are right. FM radio is available but its in the music app, not a dedicated app like the xt.

Thanks for the heads up.

no news yet, if it comes it will arrive in singapore first thats for sure.

btw, i just bricked the phone today in attempt to put froyo jit compiler in it

it has awaken once again... its good to have service version flash available. do a flash and walla, everything is intact

Maybe better to ask maxis guys instead, but I do believe a lot of people will be interested on this phone. Size just nice, quite high end spec and most important, rugged.

It has powervr sgx 535 if I'm not mistaken. Running angry birds without any lag.

Just confirmed with quadrant advanced, it has powervr sgx 530. full benchmark result 1080 points, sits above galaxy s but points lower than galaxy s in cpu and 3d test.

When plugged to pc, rsd lite actually reports it as 3630

Added on December 10, 2010, 2:55 amI don't think this is 3610, because it won't be able to produce that results, when running at 1ghz it actually almost the same as the droid x running on android 2.2. Theres something special with this cpu, I'm looking forward to froyo benchmark next year

Since you bought it from uk, you need to send back to uk fo warranty claim. You are lucky because the price has gone down from the time I bought it.

Be patient guys, singapore will have defy in 2 weeks time, I think ap set will be available in no time.

Phone is a bit laggy with motoblur on, once we replace it with other launcher everything will be smooth and silky tanpa kesan helmet

nice one. i predict this phone will be a bestseller.
