Bought the phone 3 months ago... A smart choice because its design is simple , rugged , Bigger screen size if overall dimensions are considered, No restart Problem at all (read it in user opinions that some people faced this prob)... screen resolution is also good. good pixel density. games with high resolutions also run quite smooth (at this price).

Now only prob m facing is that - phone feels a bit slow when a bunch of apps are installed... I know this prob can be removed up to a great extent by overclocking but i think I like the animation part that is inbuilt (TV screen off animation, sky blue loading sign, the way menu and other things pop up, curtain style menu list etc). Also I don't wanna ruin the warranty period yet, so m not looking for a cyanogen mod yet.

faced a big prob once when i installed a no. of apps and it got hung and even after restarting it was not responding. Took it to service centre (very hard to find in north India) where the whole software was re-installed. after that no probs at all.


final review - A very good phone at this price (bought it for 11500 Rs in chd) and fully satisfied even after 3 months of use. But if you are looking to buy it then remember one thing- at this price you will not get a high end phone with quad core processor so a lil bit slow down must be acceptable. don't install apps that you don't actually need otherwise you will surely face that sluggishness in the device.

And about the speed both cpu's give more or less equal performance, but defy xt's the upgraded cpu
And even according to some people defy xt is not so rugged that defy+,
Only the drawback in defy+ is there is no secondary camera.

This phone was my first experience of an Android phone and unfortunately it was less than stellar. I was initially hesitant about getting Motorola as I have had poor experiences with Motorola Phones in the past and this phone turned out to be no exception. I had got this phone because I often did a lot of multi-day tramps / hikes and the occasional stream bash where moisture and condensation are an ever present threat to electronic devices.

Among small niggles, the most annoying were frequent reboots while Using Mobile Data and the King of all annoyances, random reboots in the middle of calls. The phone would even reboot while idle. This was even right after doing a factory restore.

The WIFI reception on this device is also poor and would frequently drop connections while other devices on the same WIFI network will still be connected and able to access the Internet.

Overall, it has been a frustrating year with this phone and I have given up hounding the Retailer over getting this phone functioning to a state that I deem as fit for purpose.

While this may seem emotional, I do not plan to be buying Motorola Mobility phones again. this is the 3rd Motorola Phone I've had over the years and each of them have caused me an endless number of issues and frustrations.

This phone is a very expensive paperweight. I was only happy with it the first day I bought it over the HTC wildfire. This was attractive for its speed in its ad. It have a crappy cpu though it's 1ghz, I don't think it has. It has crappy graphics almost every game lags. The touch screen is horrible. It always mistype on whatsapp not to mention it slow loading speed. Last, its covers for ports is not durable, the plastic seal broke after 10 months. Also its OS is also horrible. Motorola should have made the os better for such a horrible phone and it lacks funtionality like screen capture.Overall, this crappy phone does not worth this much money. I want to warn you if you plan on buying this phone because you will regret it.
