It does have a locked bootloader. The custom recovery is a bootstrap - it's a hack that temporarily hijacks the boot process right after the *real* recovery and sends you into a custom one. You still can't replace certain core components of the ROM or it'll freeze you out.

Im currently playing Sandstorm, Asphalt 5, Gangstar, Dungeon Hunter and Hero of Sparta by Gameloft as well as Angry Birds and Air Control.

All Games are perfectly fluid with the exception of Gangstar right after starting it. It gets a lot better (not laggy at all) a few seconds later though.

Paid 279,99 Euro which is quite a very very good deal. Much phone for less money.

Phone does score better than Galaxy S in Benchmark and includes a GPU.

People also think that it has a Omap3630 inside which would support HD video.

defy nice hardware bad softtware

i have a defy now (few days).

it's a nice piece of hardware with bad software. motoblur is nothing nice,

it's annoying, i hope there will be a way to get rid of it.

a smartphone is like a small pc, but on this pc you can't change permissions

because you are only user not admin and you can't install a newer version of your

os. there is too a lot of crap preinstalled (with permission to connect to internet,

and you are only user without the right to change this permission.

ihope there will be a custom rom and an easy way for rooting.

The DEFY is incredible value for the price. Powerful hardware and a beautiful display. Crippled by Motoblur though. It slows everything down and is terrible for battery life.

Motorola please give us vanilla Froyo or Cupcake before HTC or Samsung offer a better alternative. Nobody wants this Blur crap.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Does the usability improve to any significant degree if you install a different home screen such as ADW.Launcher? Are there any unfavourable traces of BLUR left afterwards?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbutter:
People who have it have said yes to the first part...not sure about traces of blur.

Engadget did a review a couple days ago:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/18/motorola-defy-review/

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamo42:
It will. Is it possible to remove it with adb without having bootloops?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Probably not, as Blur is not just a home screen feature, it's all over the phone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sorensiim:
It is indeed possible to remove motoblur using Titanium Backup, but you're up **** creek if you do a factory reset - I've been there :)

It'll wipe whatever launcher you have added and then you'll have to flash the stock rom to the phone.

Now I'm just running ADW without removing motoblur, and its running nicely, way better than Motoblur.

I'll take one for the team and get rid of Motoblur again, trying to see if it makes a difference. Looking at system panel, it looks like MotoBloat is still sucking up quite a bit of RAM.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DunkDream:
Hehe,

first discussions already started over here, I guess :)

Maybe we should somehow get the attention of the operators/mods here at xda so that we get the section.

But I'm quite sure that there'll be a section because people seem to be interessted in the phone and need a discussion platform.

Otherwise all the discussions will be here in this thread :)

BTW: Did somebody already equip the defy with an protective foil?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I would indeed suggest getting the attention of a moderator who has the power to make this into a forum.

May I suggest:

- Don't go deleting anything from /system until you have obtained the correct .SBF that you can flash to recover your phone, and you have made sure you've got RSD Lite working fine on your computer

- Use Titanium Backup's "freeze" function instead of delete.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10basetom:
Three things everybody should know about the DEFY...

1. It does NOT contain a GPU. It contains the entry-level OMAP3610, which is essentially an OMAP3620/3630/3640 without the PowerVR SGX core. More info here:

focus[dot]ti[dot]com/lit/ml/swpt024b/swpt024b.pdf (UPDATE: This phone actually contains the OMAP3630, which has the PowerVR SGX530 GPU.)

2. Android 2.2 Froyo upgrade will be available in Q1 2011, if this is any indication:

www[dot]themorningnews[dot]net/1080/android-2-2-froyo-will-be-available-for-motorola-defy-in-the-first-quarter-of-2011/

3. You can get it for FREE with a two-year contract from here (at least in USA):

www[dot]cellhub[dot]com/t-mobile-cell-phones/motorola-defy-black.html

If you already have a Family Plan, then you add an additional "unlimited minutes" line for $40/mo and buy this phone for $50, or add a "limited minutes" line for $5/mo and buy this phone for $120.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DunkDream:
How sure are you that there is no PowerVR GPU? :)

Gain some information on that topic and come back and tell us what you found :)

I'm quite sure that it includes a PowerVR GPU. At least Quadrant shows it ;)

ANd Quadrant also shows how fast this little thing is. Faster than the Galaxy S with 2.1 for example :) Faster than Nexus One 2.1...faster then HTC Desire with 2.1...

What do you want more? :)

Moto flash-tool shows that the Defy is an OMAP 3630 device...

These are my information...maybe Motorola was wrong when they wrote their device description :)

Or Quadrant and the flash-tool are wrong...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toogoody:
How do you know this ?

I read informations in other forums which prove the contrary. For example a screenshot that shows Opengl Renderer : PowerVR SGX 530.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamo42:
What I also like about the Defy is the small bezel.

Beautiful 480 x 854 display and yet about 15mm shorter than a Samsung S.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10basetom:
This is based on just about every source out there:

www[dot]google[dot]com/search?hl=en&q=motorola+defy+specs+omap

Even the official Motorola developer site says it's an OMAP3610:

developer[dot]motorola[dot]com/products/defy/

And according to TI's official OMAP3610 product brochure, it does not contain a GPU (see the PDF link in my original post).

But if Motorola and all these sources happen to be wrong, then all the better -- I'd happily eat my own words :).

UPDATE:

I did some more digging around and came across this thread:

supportforums[dot]motorola[dot]com/message/283748

So all signs point to the fact that all the other sources are wrong and it actually has an OMAP3630.

Android = No good on Hd2

An entire os running from an SD card is rather clunky and just cant really compete.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelfinch:
To offer an alternative view:

I've recently switched to running Android permanently on my HD2. I've even flashed the ChuckyDROID cut-down winmo ROM designed to boot Android as quickly as possible, so I'm not even using winmo as a fallback.

Recent HD2 Android builds are quite stable, and the performance and battery life is easily comparable to what I had under WinMo. I use Bangsters version, and it's great; there are many others reported to be working fine too.

It does take a bit of reading to find a good combination of the available options to suit your needs - the most important thing I found was to get the right radio version and a suitable winmo ROM build flashed to your device.

There's plenty of information on how to get it all working in the HD2 Android Development forum, but I can vouch that it does work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:
+1 on this. Android has come a very long way. However, this IS a WinMo phone and I would not recommend that you buy it if your intention is using android as your primary OS. There are TONS of devices out there now that are either identical to or better than the HD2 in hardware and they run android flawlessly as the primary OS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilco:
TONS is really a bit overstated.

Samsung has Android phones of comparable hardware, however most of them perform bsdly (If the reviews are right) and running on Android 1.6,,,,

There are only a few phones comparable not tons.

If one comes from WinMo, it is a nice option to run Android.

I have not(yet) heard of Android devices running WinMo.

The HD2 is still the most powerfull machine around beeing able to run both.

Completely switching to Android is a very definitive step in my opinion.

Beeing able to switch between the two is (again, n my opinion) a big plus. :cool:

Also: NAND is apparently just around the corner, meaning one can FLASH Android on the HD2, thus no longer run it from SD. (And loosing dual boot possibilities) This should perform better, and since the IO is not going to SD, probably the batterylife will be longer.:)

As rumours go: It should be possible to flash to Android and back to WinMo :D

Another great option for this remarkable machine.

But enough of pro-HD2 talk, Could you give me a list of phones beeing able to do all that?:rolleyes:
