It seemed good to me when I played with it at the T-mobile store, however Motorola did confirm a 2.2 update for the defy, but did not mention anything else. We can just hope.

This phone is mid-to-high class, so I think it should be supported for the new Android versions. If not, you can always rooted, and download custom ROMs :)

The hardware is more than enough considering that each new android release is lighter then the previous...and i`m sure that if you look at xda developers forums you`ll find plenty of info about the os update :] Good Luck

Decent screen, nice shape, lousy OS. Otherwise great for being rugged.

After using it for a while now, I like the phone a lot and would recommend it to anyone who would like a tough and quick smartphone. However there are some things I'm not very fond of. The power button is not as tight as I would like and give a clapping sound, also there is a creaking sound when i hold the phone too tight. But all this doesn't make it any less awesome ;)

I've read in some forums, that the Defy has a problem with the ear piece ....

Wow, I didn't expect that from Motorola. For a rugged device (and for any device actually) they just failed big time, especially if it's factory fault.

Nowadays manufacturers don't make phones. they make multi-functional devices. They make the camera to work perfect, for example, and phone functions are somewhere at the back.
