Motorola Defy - the rugged Android

The Defy gives you all the benefits of Android - but in a robust smartphone that can cope with the odd knock and bump. The Defy's is scratch- resistant, thanks to its thin yet tough Corning Gorilla® glass display - which you won't find on some Android phones

Make yourself heard - wherever you are Maybe you're in a busy club, and you need to make an urgent call to a friend. There's dance music and other background noise going on, but you can still hear what your friend's saying - and they can hear you as clearly as if you were sat at home. It's all because of CrystalTalk™ Plus - a clever feature that uses two microphones instead of one. It also has advanced noise filtering technology - so it's better at picking up your voice, while shutting out what's going on around you. It's not available on other Android phones like the Galaxy S , by the way.

All weather protection The Defy also comes with a hard plastic outer casing that resists grime and water. Say you're working on a building site, it's a hot day and there's lots of rubble around. If you receive a message from a mate, you can read it right away because your touchscreen stays clear of dust. Later, the weather changes suddenly and there's a rain shower - no problem, you can still use your Defy outdoors without damaging it.

The Motorola Defy comes with a special feature called , which automatically delivers all your messages and social networking updates to one universal inbox on your homescreen. So rather than having to open individual apps for Facebook, Twitter and so on, you get all your updates and tweets in one place - plus text messages and emails too. It's the fastest way to keep up-to- date with what your mates are doing while you're out and about.

There's nothing worse than that sinking feeling when you've lost your phone. But with the Motorola Defy, at least you know your security is in place - as you can locate and wipe your phone remotely. And because the Defy lets you back up your contacts securely, it's quick and easy to get to this information - with or without your phone.

Just like other Android phones such as the or you can set up your Motorola Defy exactly how you want it by customising the seven different homescreens. You could have one homescreen for work, another for social stuff, another for entertainment and so on. It's up to you. You can also download all the apps and games you want from Android Market™ onto your homescreens - so everything's in one place. There are over 100,000 apps to choose from, so there's something for everyone - and many of them are free, too.

The Motorola Defy comes pre-loaded with Adobe Flash Lite 3, which means you can browse any website in the same way as you would on your home PC. Just drop a Search™ bar onto your homescreen to find the sites you want in an instant.
