Actually nothing special, according to the rumors it is just a Defy with a sligthy better cpu... maybe "better" is not the right term, same cortex A8 but not underclocked as our Defy's cpu is. It should be 3620... should be.
Camera, display, graphic chip, and all the rest (except for the battery pack) won't change.

Hopefully they will release it unlocked bootloader, which hopefully will work on our devices too

I dont think so... I have to see it first... and then i will believe it...

The leaked gingerbread rom was for the Defy+ and it works well on the normal Defy. So why not?

So no big changes huh? Im already OC'd. I was hoping for a front facing camera and a mini solar panel battery door.Oh well,my MB525 is still the ish..

Phone looks nice, but why is this in development?...

The motorola milestone 2 rom works with the defy too and you can use some apps from atrix, but bootloader is different... So i cant say if its good if we get a defy+ rom... And i think that motorola will make an effort to change the bootloader unlocking method to persuade you to buy a new DEFY+ instead of continue with your actual defy.

well, ms2 have a different signature, we can't use their kernel for that reason. defy has been (de facto) discontinued for a few months now, they stopped shipping it since some time around early june.

finally something is official
ok so defy + , is conformed ..

Are we foolish?
Many people bought defy and now moto release defy+ same hardware same frimware?For what?Thanks moto.

Lol what a rip off . They didn't even bother to change at least one or 2 things on it's exterior. I think it's kernel will work smooth as butter on our ordinary Defy . Still I'm happy they got owned by Google

im stuck w/ this defy..im sure someone in our defy camp will be eager to port & mod the defy+ rom then port it to our defys....if not then i dont care...
ill just wait for the nexus3, rumors it will be w/ moto?

Seems Defy will soon see Froyo...

Hi guys. I just came across an interesting clip in youtube. Check it out.
It seems that we might see a custom Froyo...pretty soon!
I'm new to this forum so it wont let me post an outside link.

There is a huge gap between getting a rom to boot and getting everything to work as it should.
Most indeed, but its a start, is it not? Perhaps we can see an experimental version in a month?
I'm willing to test this also, if it comes available. The exchange features of froyo is much better than now... I have to install new APKs to get it working
Looks interessting!
But its realy froyo?
Does someone know this guy?

AFAIK Jordan was the codename of the Defy, so it doesn't do anything with Blur.

[Q] Should I buy a Defy?

I bought my first Defy just before Christmas.
Well I lost my Defy in the Indian Ocean on holiday a couple of weeks ago..... waterproof video
Problem is I really liked the Defy but is it really worth paying for twice £260 x2 ?
What is it like with 2.2 and will it ever get an open bootloader?
Convince me to get another one, because I can't decide.
BTW I'm now using a Nokia 5800, so it may not take too long before I get the urge.

Question is: What are alternatives and what features do you need? If you need waterproof video, the selection is probably limited . 260 Pounds sounds a bit expensive IMHO.

1.Don't know yet, 2. probably not.
I personally think the phone is worth it's money and it is a solid and reliable device, but because of the locked bootloader I will not buy a Motorola phone again and hence will not convinve you in buying one.
By elementary economics/accountings, your bricked phone is historical and shouldn't be factor in your decision

Why pay so much? On ebay you can find new for 200-220 euros. i found mine for 190
problem resolved
checked on Ebay and put in a bid for £215 on a new sim free Defy and won. Was checking out Samsung Galaxy S as well, they look nice. FTR Nokia 5800 is fairly rubbish, but worth £70.... hello Ebay
The moral here was that we shouldn't be too tight with our money. Or tie string on your phone when in the sea, you choose.

[Q] defy buying help

Hi all,
i am thinking of selling my galaxy ace (1month old) and buying a defy. Though the problem is there is no service center of motorola in my whole state. I am from India. What i want to ask is this-
does this phone has any bugs or shortcomings which may lead me to visit a service center. Samsing galaxy ace has a sod bug.
I really cannot take the risk of buying this phone if it has any bugs which might appear later.
Scanned the forum. Seems like phone can have earpiece issues. Can any Indian user confirm that we are not hving this issue.
About mb525 or mb526, Is there any way to check this on the shop?
Thanks.
seems like mb526 hasn't released yet but there are leaked roms of 526 which are compatible with red lense defy.
If before buying, you can check that the phone has red lens, then there shouldn't be a problem for the earpiece. (most red lens donot have earpiece problems) you can also check by entering the IMEI # on the box, here: moto110.com check if your phone is manufacuted in late jan -feb or later, 2011, then there shouldn't be a problem.
apart from doing something that may brick you phone, there is not a high possibility that may lead you to a service center. Make sure you keep all the ports closed when not using them. ( USB and Headphone slots)
Regarding MB526, there is no official news from moto about that, but there are leaked versions of Gingerbread (2.3.3 & 2.3.4) which have device name set to MB526 by default. This may be a hint to a new Defy+ or Defy2. Just a hint.
In a shop in india, you probably wouldn't be getting defy as MB526. But who knows, maybe the shop is selling defys with 2.3.4 already flashed. Only way to check is by switching it on, then going to system settings to find that out. It would say:
Model number: MB526
Android version: 2.3.4
dude defy is the best handset..i surveyed alot b4 buying this beautiful handset..defy is worth it..dint have any probs till now..and dude motorola has service centre in every city..
MB526 is not yet out in the market...only leaked android 2.3.4 is out which was for mb526(which also runs on mb525).
no ear piece problem till now...everything runs smoothly
btw ACE sucks to be frank...even u will think like me once u use defy with custom ROM

dude moto doesn't even have a single showroom in UP & Uttarakhand, let alone a service center. This was the main reason of me buying ace.
I will be buying defy online. And they have a june model. So I think I am sold. Thanks a lot guys.

moto doesnt have exclusive showroom anywhere in india i guess..but as far as i know they have service centre in all cities..at my place there r 2 service centres..
same case with sony ericsson..they dont have exclusive showroom..coz they cant keep a whole shop just to showcase few mobiles..
i understand that sellers dont keep moto phones after they backed out of indian market..they say no one buys moto..
even i bought online as models were not available at my place..i had to go to bangalore just to see defy with my naked eyes ..to feel it in my hands..but online price was cheaper..so i bought it

hey dude, how to check for a service center in my city?
no one buys moto because there are no ads. you know i can have near 10 exceptional ads keeping in mind water resistant features of defy.
The biggest complaint I see on the non-us moto forum for Defy Indian users is the phones they're buying for (or from) their carrier are all 2.1.

[Q] Purchasing a new Phone
I'm also planning to buy Motorola Defy. But am not sure whether it would be a good decision or not. I live in India (presently at Kolkata, but would be shifting to Bangalore in a couple of months).
I have heard that the support of Moto over here is not impressive & I may land into trouble if there are some issues with the phone after the expiry of warranty period (coz many believe that most of the hardware inside moto aren't discrete & thus the whole board needs to be replaced). If this is true, the cost for repairing can be very high!
My second concern is the OS support. I don't know whats MB526 is actually. Do the new phones come with MB526 & no earphone problem?
What are the prerequisites, that I must check before buying this phone?
please guys this is moto and thats samsung !!
how u can compare ??
motorola = benz - bmw -
samsung = kia motor - lifan - ...
hei!how to check my moto defy manufracture date!
i used my imei and all of the code got behind the phone and i duno which one is msn number!
the site require msn number to check the manufracture date!help pls
edit: just checked with msn code on box
it is manufracture on january 2011
suppose not be problem for earpiece rite @@
Finally after a couple of months of deliberation i got my new Defy!
First check was camera lens colour and it was red! A check of the MSN number revealed that mine is manufactured on March 2011
After that i was pretty certain i got the BAYER camera but wanted to check that too so i ran adb and i got:
Code:
07-09 21:24:17.163 1233 1233 D LibCommonCamera: CameraCommon: Detected BAYER device
Gingerbread! Here i come!

MB526 is a new defy model which will be released soon..
present defy model number is MB525.
OS support will always be there for defy officially or unofficially
As far as i know earphone problem is not an issue here.. very few people got this problem.
before buying a defy just make sure that it has red lens..coz all the new defy are red lens and will be red lens only.so support will only be fore red lens in future.
All the best

Seems to be go with MB525 is a better option i think..
Well MB526 got 1Ghz OMAP "3620" and 1700mAh battery these are the hardware differences i think..

Bricked Xperia S

Hi guys.
My Xperia S got bricked, i don't know why :/
I have a deodexed stock rock for some months now. one week ago i've done a full reset, under settings menu.
Yesterday, i was going to check if i have any message, and my phone is dead.
It does not want to turn on, led does not torn on with charger or connected to PC, and my PC does not recognizes it even with flashtools.
I've tried some Unbrick tips, nothing worked. Removed battery for 7 or 8 hours, tried to flash something, nothing happens...
Can please someone help me?
Thanks!
Erm. I recommend you to bring it to a sony service center or to a technician.
This happened to me also, the technician said that the board is damaged and replaced it. And now its working again
At first he tried to replace the digitizer and LCD but nothing happened.
How much did you paid for the board?
I'm not lucky at all... -_- I think i should not traded my Sony for another brand... lol

good that common sense prevailed.
buy a new handset even if your budget is a limiting factor. this way you will save the hassles of battery issues + android version.
Dude, it's almost 4 years old..., not 3. Still alive thanks to XDA devs. I'm amazed how I started with Gingerbred 2.3, and now I'm running full-blown 5.1.1 Lollipop. That phone survived for 3 generations!
