I think I'll be copying a lot of Notes too (I've done that all my lyf)
So a good camera with Autofocus will also be a great boon
So you need a decent performing camera particularly in MACRO mode. I guess most mobiles will do it, but larger the megapixel and better the quality, the larger the area you can
cover. Defy does have a good camera with flash. A70, though lacks in flash, should have a good camera, let's just wait for someone in TE to give a review

Bro, Will look for that phone. Though I've tried 4 malls and all other phones mentioned in the thread, but couldn't find MI-410

I guess you can find one easily at a spice outlet in Delhi. Here's store locator for you.
Spice Retail
Hmmm... Even I think I'm hurrying up with my decision .
So here are my needs :
Let's see whether A70 and Defy matches your requirements
1. Calls 1Hr a day - Will prefer good call Quality and LOW SAR!
Defy confirm, A70 - have to wait.
2. 50 Sms (May vary, because my life is in a transition phase,but will definitely go up
)
All android has swype.
Both phone matches
3.Good Music quality (I have Sony Earbuds, so quality of stock headset don't matter)
Can you tell me the model name of that sony earphones? Is that in-ear? How much does it cost? Most probably you won't hear too much difference in quality in different phones
unless you use a really quality headphones. So,
Both phone matches
4. Great Looks (My last phone was Motoming A1600, It was drop dead sexy! Turned lots of heads and even turns now after 3 years)
The phone should look , i changed my 5233 just because of the looks, Plain simple and elegant will do. Different from others will also do
Defy though doesn't have a great looks, it's ergonomic i guess. As it'll be small in size, but have large screen size. (Hint: Compare the actual phone size of 3.5" iPhone and 3.7" Defy. You'll know what I mean. Also very rugged. Comes in very handy, if you become too wild during your college days A70 too doesn't have a sexy look, but I guess it's ok
Both phone matches
5. Battery Life of 1 day or more. (I'm flexible with this because I know that's what today's phones provide)
Defy confirm, A70 - have to wait
6.Camera should be enough for taking snaps of Notes. Otherwise I'm not really into taking snaps.
Defy confirm, A70 - have to wait
7. Fluid interface, can handle occasional lags but not the ones which are always slow(just like 5800 with original FW)..
Let's wait till, iGyaan/someone else reviews the MM A70. And as for Defy, with motoblur launcher I guess it's kinda sluggish, but installing launhcerpro will bring up smoothness. And installing Custom ROM like Cyanogenmod will take it light years ahead.
Defy confirm, A70 - have to wait
8.I don't carry my phones in carry cases.. I hate them
Then mobiles with Gorilla Glass is a must. You can keep the mobile without applying a screen guard and still have it in pocket along with keys and other metal stuffs.
Defy confirm, A70 - fail
I won't be using FB chat, Gtalk on my phone as I find it cumbersome.
It won't be cumbersome in android and you'd prefer it a lot (of course, if you do that a lot in desktop). Also the vodafone's / airtel's 84rs bonus will give you a COOL 1gb/month data usage along with 20p calls and 2K local/national sms. So you can be always online. And my recommendation is that you should have background DATA enabled in your handset (EDGE speed and 1gb is more than enough for basic stuffs)
And yeah, I've tried SWYPE. It was really fast for me even for the first time. No guy with physical qwerty can match SWYPE speeds
But then I don't think typing occasionally in Hindi will be that fast with SWYPE.
SWYPE does hindi too, if you teach it. If you want to swype a hindi word, say "yaadein", you just type "y.a.a.d.e.i.n" and then leave space / tap the word again to add it to dictionary. The next time you can just swype the word "yaadein".

My concerns regarding XCD 35 and Defy are their very high SAR Values. That makes me uncomfortable since I call 1Hr daily (though most of the times I use headset)
Also, I wasn't able to find a XCD or 410 for trial.
My own view on SAR, that I mentioned earlier in another thread.
Don't worry about the SAR too much. Why?
-> There are hundred thousand people who own this device, do you think they all don't care about their health?
-> Do you think that the us gov or fcc, will allow any such product that would affect the people in anyway?
-> Even if the gov approved it, Will Motorola knowingly release a device that can be harmful and put it's company at risk?
-> And if they all had done the above without their knowledge, wouldn't someone have sued that company for it's "harmful" effects on people and take the company down or get a huge settlement?
CFW not from day 1 because i guess that voids the warranty. And what if I found my phone is defective after a few days (hardware problem, that is) ?
Custom ROM does void your warranty, but only if they knew about it. If you flash a custom ROM and find your phone to have a hardware problem, reflash your original stock ROM. And you are good to go.
Defy confirm, A70 - fail
