Running Android 2.1 with MOTOBLUR, Motorola presents the Defy, a 3.7″ touchscreen-driven smartphone that is ready to take a fall. The device is touted by Motorola as water-resistant and dust-proof, two common elements users run into frequently. While filming reef sharks at 30 feet underwater is out, the water-resistance should be helpful for getting caught in a quick shower and thanks to Gorilla Glass, the Defy’s screen is protected from falls.
The phone is geared currently for Europe and will release later this year. Packing a 5MP camera, Android 2.1, AGPS, and Flash Lite 3, it’s not a super-powered device. Motorola describes the phone as “slim”, though at 13.4mm thick, it’s fatter than the iPhone 4 (9.3). The Defy packs only 512MB Internal RAM; 2GB Internal ROM and the microSD slot can handle up to a 32GB card.
While not the cutting edge, this should be a decent workhorse in the Moto line.
