ok , i have learned how to flash and all now. Thank you soooo much everyone. But am planning to stick on stock. Now help me with this. It sync my contacts from google. Now i have about 250+ contacts. SOme contacts have numbers and other details (i need these one) and others are just email ids like supprt@xyz.com.
I want to delete these others , but i have to do them manually. Any way i can select them or some tool ?? Or do i have to do it one by one ?

1. Start with Froyo(any). Download the rom, unzip it and put it in sd card ---> clockworkmod---> backup. Create both the folders if it isn't there.
2. Download Defy 2nd init from Market. You need to have the latest version, hence install from market.
3. Once installed, you will directly go to the secondary bootmenu. Here, wipe cache and data. No need to set default boot and such that you do for cm7
4. Go to Backup and Restor --- > Advanced Restore --- >System (you will have 3 or 4 options uch as boot etc. Select the file you have downloaded and select YES. This will restore the system files.
5. Reboot. Immediately press Vol+ to go to the Bootmenu. Here flash the fixed sbf(it will be in the downloaded zip. the zip will contain fixed sbf and the nand backup) using RSD lite. This is just like installing froyo.
6. Now go to stock recovery (Power + Vol-) and wipe cache and data. Reboot and enjoy.
PS: Any clarifications please ask.
Thanks killmastern3 :hap2:
1. Start with Froyo(any)--> will Nordic do? that we flash with RSD Lite while flashing CM7 ?
2.Download Defy 2nd init from Market. You need to have the latest version, hence install from market. --> No need to Root the phone ?
3.Do we need to download Clockworkmod ?
4.fixed sbf size around 16MB right ?

Do people put screen guard since it's a gorilla glass ?
Is there any Defy owner who has owned a Nokia 5800 Xpress music before? Can someone comment on the difference in the audio and camera quality between the two. I listen to music with PL30 and take a lot of photographs. Is it anything compared to dedicated mp3 players. What about with a FiiO E3?

i can't comment on Defy's sound quality with a good IEM... but yes it has great stereo speakers which produces very clear sound... clearer than most cellphones available in the market... But as i own this cell phone i would like to share some pros and cons of it...
Pros :
1. It has a great responsive touchscreen just like iphone or iPod touch
2. Defy has a good stereo speaker which produces crisp and clear sound
3. Pretty rugged so its very durable...
4. The userinterface is pretty responsive
Cons :
1. It has a shittiest screen... If you have used any retina display phone or AMOLED+ phone then you would feel really disappointed after buying this phone... Plus you would notice a lot of color banding...
2. Shittiest camera... My N73 has better camera than this phone which produces pretty decent pics...
3. Sometimes you would hear your own voice while talking to some people... I haven't faced this earpiece problem very frequently but yeah i have faced it once...
4. Angry Birds game lag a little bit... But this issue can be resolved if you would overclock the defy's processor to 1GHz or upgrade to Gingerbread (CM7)
See if you can spend a little more money than i would advice you to go with Nexus S...

I would advice you to go with Nexus S as it has Wolfson DAC (would be good for your IEM needs) and its gonna get Icecream Sandwich update...
Plus it comes with 16GB internal memory which i think would be enough for you plus it has PowerVR SGX540 GPU which i think would be able to handle 720p movies... Yeah i forgot to mention one con of Defy that it really can't handle 720p movies/music videos.... I have heard that this issue can be resolved if one would upgrade to CM7 and would install some 720p patch... ^^Power+ Vol up will take you to the bootloader mode (just like a cmd prompt window of windows). In that mode, you can flash sbf files (fixed or full). And Yes you have to be connected to the PC, so that RSD lite software recognizes your phone..
Power+Vol down will take you to Motorola recovery, where you can do a factory reset, or apply any zip updates. But a custom recovery has more options and is widely used while flashing ROMs..
Just try to do both once. It won't harm your phone..
Sometimes these FCs happen, try to flash a latest stable nightly from CM7 page of XDA developers, it should help..
Or else try to wipe cache and dalvik cache in advanced recovery. That might help as well..
