Motorola Defy+ is a Average Phone.

Its a Nice phone, satisfied with all aspect except the memory management. I dont have any issue using the phone in day to day use. But I am really disappointed on the memory management of the phone. When I use Internet, the memory occupies to 100% sometime. So i need to kill some application in the middle of the work to free some memory to proceed with the rest of the work. This is really irritating. Previously I was owning a HTC Wildfire which was having less than 400mb Ram, was slow compare to DEFY+, but never stopped due to 100% memory. I am still looking for the solution how to overcome this issue.

Defy+ Perfect...for Me

pearlgirl has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I've been thrilled with this gem. I've been using an unlocked German build (running in english) on T-mobile's USA network using wireless mode, as I don't have nor want a costly data plan. I'm petite, so the size is excellent (my boyfriend's Samsung Galaxy S is cumbersome and has leaped from his back pocket almost into oblivion). I'm new to Android phones, having been using a Windows Mobile 6 phone for the last 5 years, and am delighted to be current once again.

Build quality 9/10 Feels solid, but not heavy. My sons have i-phone/touch and this feels more useful by virtue of having buttons for volume, as well as less of a "museum artifact" feel by comparison. I love the slightly grippy back coating. Used a cover on old phone, may not with this one.

Reception 8/10 Appears to be better than Samsung Galaxy S so far. I have only fair reception at my home.

Call quality 9/10

Internet 10/10 Stays connected all the time so far.

Multimedia 8/10 No flaws of note.

Camera 3/10 5.0 megapix, really?. Worked to scan business cards, but won't be using as a main camera. Samsung's Galaxy S has 8.0 and performs great in low light (without a flash, mind you) as well as typical daytime scenes. Using the Defy's flash as a flashlight is probably the best use for the camera function.

UI speed 7/10 Fast enough for me, but there are probably faster options.

Everyday usage 10/10 I feel at one with this phone, is there anything better?

Text input 8/10 Some with larger fingers may prefer a bigger phone, but great for my small hands

Display 9/10 Compared to Galaxy S, this screen is crisp while Galaxy's is fuzzy. However, viewed obliquely, this phone has a distinct "haze".

Battery 9/10 Haven't been able to run it down in a day's use (I don't have 3g or 4g running, just wireless) over the past initial week of use. I've given it a pretty good go. My boyfriend's Samsung Galaxy S tires much more quickly.
