Bought DEFY from ebay for 13,800/- after 1K discount coupon from here - http://cgi.ebay.in/w...em=260814817065

Mini review -

- Phone looks very small, donno whether thats good or bad for 22K MRP phone

- Phone is ultra fast

- Updated to 2.2.2 via Motorola Software Update Program available on their website; Support Site - http://www.motorola....hout_blur_IN-EN

- Software Update from here - http://direct.motoro...ge_name=SUPPORT ; Choose MOTODEFY and follow instructions to download update program; It will install drivers, then connect phone, then it will download software, then it will install on phone; took about 30 minutes

- Very Loud Speakerphone

- Sharp crisp display

- Clear Camera

- Many added programs and settings (like to switch data on/off etc.) included

- Doesnt seem very high end when I compare it to the phones I use; Google Nexus One would have been a better choice for the same price (though its without guarantee here - http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110714354131&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:IN:1123 )

Yeah it dies not look like a very high end phone. But it was meant to be a rough and tough phone which can be immersed in water and still would survive and so on. And that is what they intended to make. Looks are not that great but other than that I find it good. It is responsive and fast. The touch screen is good. And display is nice though I sometimes think the contrast is a little low.
