You are holding down the volume down button. Do not hold it down. Just turn the phone on as normal and then wait for the blue led. Then press the volume down button only once.

Guys does wireless tether work perfectly for you? For me it works for a few minutes and after that it shows various problems. Sometimes Windows says it's connected but it says "Identifying". And sometimes I can't access pages even though it says connected with internet access. Rebooting the phone resets the problem. I use Barnacle Wifi Tether.
 
NOT getting any blue LED
will it appear after motorola screen or before that ?

If you're not getting a blue LED, then you haven't installed 2nd-init. Get it from the market.

2nd-init is basically a bootmenu which allows you to boot into custom recovery directly on switching on the phone. 2nd-init already has custom recovery inbuilt.

Just install 2nd-init following the in-app instructions closely.

yes....it works now....thanx
but again and again when i reboot, it enters stock ROM first, what settings to follow, just setting 2nd-int as default is enough or is there any other setting too ?

Set 2ndinit as default.
 
From my experience you will be stuck on a black screen (or the moto logo) if you're booting in 2nd unit without having flashed a custom rom. You'll also get a black screen if you boot in normal mode after having flashed a custom rom.

I want a 16GB SD card (class 6 or higher) for my defy
pls suggest any supported card, or any thread where i can find it
 
^^^you can if you want to. I went for a pack of three (3) frosted, anti glare screen guards, cost me Rs.52($1.20) from Ebay.com (USA). It was shipped from Hong Kong and I received it in 5 days flat. The quality is very good. These are perfectly cut for the Motorola Defy. I also got a gel TPU case from Ebay.com for Rs.100 which I received in 5 days flat and is of very good quality. Amzer sells similar stuff in India for Rs.250+shipping. I also ordered another smoky black gel tpu case (much thicker than the one I already have) for Rs.200. It arrived yesterday. I shall upload those pictures later.

Images of the gel tpu case I bought along with the non reflective anti glare screen guard applied to the phone's screen:-

time2shop is selling Amzer screen guard for defy for Rs.180 shipped should I get that and please post link of case.
 
Amzer silicon jelly case is pretty good but extremely hard to remove from a jeans pocket. I used mine only for a couple of weeks. Get a screenguard, I never bothered to get one and have several scratches due to this. Also I have dust inclusion at the top right corner of my screen.. looks ugly :(

Sand plays havok on gorilla glass. The scratches are actually small nicks, but it can be seen in direct sunlight.
