Okay here's my short review. The phone is great, a total upgrade from the previous Defy. My battery can last 2 whole days on 2G mode with wifi on all the time, watching Youtube for about 1 hour in between, calls for about 20 minutes in between and text messaging throughout 2 days. Music quality on loudspeaker is quite good. Even better with 3D stereo enabled when using earphones. Size is perfect for a smartphone (I wanted to get the new Droid RAZR but I chose this instead because of the RAZR's size) There's now a "Manage Apps" selection to kill unwanted running apps. Everything else is pretty much the same as the Defy except for the 1ghz and battery life. Even comes with Adobe Flash 10. Best thing about it i'd say is the battery life. I even tested its water resistance with running tap water and still works normally lol. If you're a Defy user, everything is the total same lah. HQ Youtube videos streams and plays like a charm. Dunno what else to say d. But if i can root it and get rid of the MOTOBLUR, it'd be even better n smoother, because I notice some performance slowdowns which i think is because of the MOTOBLUR. Overall it's a great looking phone, perfect sized, and can do almost anything other smartphones can.

guys, to those of you who are on miui, can you enable portable wi-fi hotspot? i am on miui 1.10.28 and i cant turn hotspot on...it says error..

salim,
thanks for the heads up...but my question remains, does hotspot feature works on your defy with miui/cmiui?

Btw, heres a quick fix for some of the old Defy's out there with pretty worn back cover locking mechanism Mine had the tendency to self-open while in my pocket sometimes and that causes problems



Tools needed: small blade, eraser

instructions: Cut a black eraser until you get the perfect sized piece and jam it at the gap in the slider. Test by forcefully pushing the slider open. If it fails, make another one and make sure the edges are sharp. Voila! You've got a battery cover double lock
