^^yea it doesnāt have 720p video but i think by installing patch from xda we can enable 720p video and 'm interested in custom roms and overall its a Lifeproof phone..!
^^True but when one spends about 16-17k on a phone there has got to be that āflauntā factor which the Defy lacks.Iād recommend the Sony Neo V,as it looks much better than the i9003 or the Defy,does 720p and has been promised an ICS update later this year.
Defy is available again in letsbuy. Much better option considering that it is priced ~3.2k less than the Defy+ which is nothing but a factory OC of 200MHz!
I would suggest the Neo V or the Galaxy SL or Optimus Black over the Defy+ at that price point unless you want a rugged phone.
Would just like to add that my Defy nearly died on trying to play a 1080p video (well at least all I could get was the audio). I donāt know how the Defy+ will fare.
If you ask me if you can buy a phone at 15k then it is definitely worth it to extend your budget to 20k and get a Nexus S, or something of that price range.
now after loosing(steal/chori) my loved defy,ā¦i was miserably restless with its loss ,the feeling of grief very hard to bear,ā¦so ultimately ordered a SGS2,to make out with a more apparently advanced android phone & therby try hard to forget my defy loss grief.But all the while,i was also contemplating to buy a defy(which was out of stock @ many places) or a defy+(which was again NOT launched/available then)ā¦but however ended up ordering a SGS2. Now guys what do u think,i made a correct move?..i still honestly have No idea if i will be more happy using a SGS2 than a Defy or Defy+?
The ONLY thing going for D+ is its 1700mAh battery and if one can buy just thatā¦
Devs wonāt bother porting ROMs to it (new baseband issues) and thereās little value in it over the original. Also people are claiming better update support because BigG bought Moto. Theyāre mistaken. Google only wanted Motoās huge patent collections to fight lawsuits & protect itās hardware partners from a fruity company. Any favours for Moto means jeopardising relations with other manufacturers and that aināt happening.
So for 18K youāll get a weak GPU and no ICS love from Moto or Devs. Bummer of a deal.
Defy still rules sub 15K. Beyond that -
SE Neo V ~ SGS LCD > Nexus S > SE Xperia Active
The only thing that keep me thinking about buying defy is the red lens, green lens thing.. Is there a way to find red lens defy without looking @ the device? What is the probability that the defy i get has Red lens in it??
Ordered the Defy+ from letsbuy.in. COD is not available when using discount coupon and hence paid using credit card. Will update the thread with first impressions as soon as i receive the phone.
soo, Whats the status of your order in letsbuy? any update?? Hope everything goes well for you in letsbuy Couldnāt make my mind to buy from letsbuy, considering their pathetic customer service ..
The status says as āDispatchedā and in the aramex (the courier) website the status says as āUpdating shipment statusā. Not sure when it would be delivered.
