I took my phone into the shower, dunked it into a bucket of ice water, put it in the sink.... heck, i even took it for a swim at a waterfall.... not a single drop of water went in the phone. earpiece doesn't seems to suffer any issues with water getting in, so i guess the answer is: "should be no problem".

what's wrong with booking an Alza?

water around the camera lens is nothing lah. i think it is a complete sealed unit, so water won't go in anyway. like tyenfei said, the battery compartment is the crucial part. and i would recommend that you dry off the phone before opening up the battery compartment. just to be safe.

shit, my earpiece just died on me a few hours ago....

I got mine around February 2011. Dem... now talking using speakerphone liao... cannot talk for long with wife while in office...

It is an ORI set, but the problem is that I am in Kota Kinabalu.... and Sunway Mentari ain't exactly nearby...

i am no expert at fixing handphones, so looks like it is going in to the service center for warranty claim instead. haiyah.... back to WM6.5 for me lah for dunno how long....

Anyone has the motorola service centre contact number? I'm trying to find the service centre here in Kota Kinabalu but it looks like they had moved and did not update their address & contact details! I'm hoping the service centre will know where is the service centre here in Kota Kinabalu, or at least the contact details. The previous service centre is located at Plaza Wawasan. If anyone has any information, that will be great help to me. Thanks a lot!

yeah, that's the problem. anyway, i had sent a message to them in facebook. yes, Brightstar has a facebook page...

Hope they will respond & give me an answer I need....

Where did you get this? Will give it a try tomorrow (hopefully I will be able to get some time to go there). WM6.5 is slowly killing me now....

Thanks bro, will give it a try tomorrow (hopefully).

Well, in the end, I brought the phone back to the shop where I bought it from. They agreed to arrange to help me send it in for warranty repair. And no, it is not at Wisma Merdeka, but at another building in town. I malas already, so instead asked them to help me send it in lah. Hopefully can be done quick. I miss my android already.... and yes, WM6.5 is killing me.

Oh, had a chance to play with LG's Optimus 2x. Damn poisonous lah.... but it is HUGE in comparison to my Defy. Very, very quick. But I managed to play with it maybe for around 5 to 10 minutes only. After that, give back the phone to the shop owner and hastily run away....

where? where???

siao ah....

OK, this sounds noobish, but how do you pay for the apps in Market. It is not like you have a slot to swipe a credit card on the Defy or something like that....

I bought mine in early February and last week my earpiece had died.

Sent for warranty repair since it is an original Brightstar unit. They say will take at least 1 week to repair. Now I am android-less and using my ancient motorola V8. LOL... after all these years of smartphones.... it is refreshing to have a phone that just make calls & send sms only....

Earpiece, as in I cannot hear the person calling me when I answered the phone. Have to use speaker phone to be able to hear they are saying. No sound at all....

erm... motorola service center? for my case (which is very similar to you), i sent back to the shop which I bought it from.

Use as modem like tethering using USB cable? Try PDAnet. If not, can use the built-in 3G wifi app.

haih.... Froyo is available already.... but my phone is still at the hospital due to the earpiece problem...
