The Motorola Defy is available exclusively through Telstra in Australia for three months from 30 November and is rated as a BlueTick phone, meaning it provides superior coverage in regional and rural areas of Australia.

Battery life is about standard for an Android smartphone it will need a charge every night with constant use, but light users may be able to go almost two days without a recharge. Motorola includes a 2GB microSD card in the sales package. The Motorola has 2GB of internal memory, along with a microSD card slot for extra storage. We loved the fact you can use the volume keys as zoom buttons, and the ability to swipe through scene and effect settings is a nice touch, though we missed having a physical camera button. The Motorola Defy has a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and a single LED flash, which also doubles as a video recorder.

The Motorola Defy comes with Swype text entry, allowing you to slide your fingers over the letters you want to type in a single motion, and letting the software work out the word you're trying to write. Its media player is a notch above most other Android phones - the "connected music player" automatically finds album art and lyrics from the Internet for any tracks in your library, while a "song identification" feature, similar to the app Shazam, is also included. The Motorola Defy has a few handy applications preloaded, including Quickoffice, Media Share (for playing video and music through a DLNA-compatible television) and task, battery and data managers. Pages load and render quickly, though the browser is not as responsive on Flash-heavy pages. The large display is reasonably good for Web browsing, and multitouch means you can pinch in and out to zoom. The Motorola Defy is not as fast or smooth to use as more expensive competitors like the HTC Desire HD while we wouldn't describe the Defy as slow, swiping through home screens and using multitouch gestures tends to have a 'sticky' feel. As with most on-screen keyboards, the software will learn as you type and add words you use regularly to its database. Though it sounds awkward, Swype is very easy to pick up and surprisingly accurate. Swype allows you to slide your fingers over the letters you want to type in a single motion, letting the software work out the word you're trying to write. The Motorola Defy also features Swype text entry with the on-screen keyboard. We also liked the sticky note widget, which allows you to save a quick post-it style note on the home screen. The widgets we found enticing included "happenings", which lets you can see at a glance updates from all connected social-networking services, and airplane mode, Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi quick toggles.

You can now choose to only display contacts with phone numbers (rather than lumping them together with all your Facebook and Twitter contacts in the address book), and home screen widgets can be resized, which we found very handy. Thankfully, some of the flaws we encountered with the early version of MotoBlur have been corrected. We like the idea of Motoblur, but the execution of the service on previous smartphones was far from perfect. The Motoblur service also offers enhanced security features such as remote wipe. The Motorola Defy comes with Motoblur, a widget-based interface with a big emphasis on social networking. Motoblur also provides excellent security features including the ability to automatically wipe the handset when it is lost or stolen, and the automatic back up of content over-the-air.

You'll need to create a MotoBlur account to use the service, but it's free and all content and data is pushed live to the handset. Motoblur is a widget-based interface that combines multiple social networking and communications accounts ( Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LastFM, e-mail, Picasa, Photobucket and Yahoo Mail). The Defy also comes with the latest version of Motorola's MotoBlur service.

The Defy comes with a lite version of Adobe Flash, and also has the ability to act as a wireless hotspot, two features normally reserved to Android smartphones running Froyo. Motorola has stated the Defy will be upgraded to 2.2 (Froyo) early in 2011, and the company has incorporated a number of Froyo features into the current software. The Motorola Defy runs the 2.1 (Èclair) version of Google's Android operating system.
