Motorola Defy coming to T-Mobile

Rugged smartphones are starting to gain a little steam, this time with the Android platform getting stuffed inside of a slab-style device from Motorola.

This phone from Motorola is dubbed the Defy. It is heading to T-Mobile’s US network, and will be priced for $99.99. According to T-Mobile, the device will be available on November 3rd just as the holiday shoppers are really kicking it into gear. 

The device features some nice specifications given that it is a ruggedized phone. It features a 3.7-inch capacitive screen and a 5 megapixel camera. It also comes packed with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR user interface overlaid on top of Android for those who love in-your-face social networking.
