Aptly named
Mon Aug 15 2011, 17:27

US PHONE MAKER Motorola has launched a more rugged version of its Motorola Defy, aptly named the Defy+.

The handset is water resistant, scratch resistant, has a dust proof design (IP67) and a 1GHz processor that runs 25 per cent faster and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The Motorola Defy+ will be available in Asia, Europe and Latin America starting in early autumn.

The phone, which features a Corning Gorilla Glass 3.7in touchscreen, also has a pre-loaded Cardiotrainer application, which transforms it into a running aid. Erm, that's us sold then.

It offers an Adobe Flash10-enabled browser and better battery life, a more intuitive user interface and improvements on features - including enhanced calendar and email features and home screen options.

"Motorola DEFY+, our latest life proof smartphone, delivers the endurance and design strength to keep up with even the most demanding lifestyles, along with the social and entertainment capabilities that put friends and fun in easy reach," said Alain Mutricy, SVP of portfolio and device product management at Motorola Mobility. "We designed Motorola DEFY+ with all the smartphone features you need for a demanding lifestyle." µ
