Review Motorola Defy

Motorola Defy 
A lovely screen and rugged design go hand in hand with a very reasonable price

Daft names clearly aren't the preserve of desktop PC manufacturers, but ignore the Defy moniker and this is a gem of a smartphone. Motorola's latest model has a lovely 3.7in, 480 x 854 capacitive screen - that's a higher resolution than the giant HTC Desire HD - and a lot more besides.

If the screen doesn't catch your eye, the unusual design certainly will. With its exposed screw heads and grippy plastic chassis, the Defy looks more like a rugged GPS than a modern smartphone, but it isn't just for looks.

MOBILE REVIEW - MOTOROLA MILESTONE - Literally bulletproof

Motorola’s handheld devices have earned a reputation for their vault-like build and the Milestone does nothing to tarnish that.In hand the Milestone feels substantial - not surprising considering its weight of 165g - and it only takes sliding out the QWERTY keyboard from under the LCD to understand just how well-built this device is. The keyboard slides out with just the right amount of resistance and clicks firmly into place. If you’re looking for a phone to stand the test of time, this is it. Working on the keyboard, the sense of solidity remains but the small size of the keys retard progress – even
those with small fingers mistakenly hit keys near the one they actually wanted. It’s a good job then that the Milestone also features a 3.7-inch touchscreen LCD.
