Motorola DEFY review
Drag and drop
Introduction
This is no protocol droid, no phone made for walks in the park. It’s the Motorola DEFY and it isn’t afraid of what comes next. Good. Coming up is one of our reviews. And we’re having the pleasure of the first and only ruggedized Android GSM phone. It’s finally beginning to make sense – droids are dustproof, scratch and water-resistant.
But wait a minute. That’s on the outside. Under layers of rubber and muscle, the DEFY is a true smartphone, a socialist and an entertainer.
