When it comes to mobile devices, some consumers are limited to those that can withstand the bumps and bruises of their occupation, which means they are ugly and cheap to replace. Thanks to the Motorola Defy, you can soon have the Android OS along with durability. The Motorola Defy meets IP67 durability specifications and comes equipped with a 3.7-inch Gorilla Glass display at 854×480 resolution.

The Motorola Defy can defy well, just about anything. This device is resistant to dust, scratches, and impact. It can even be submerged in water up to a meter deep for half an hour and run without skipping a beat. This device is currently running Android 2.1 underneath Motoblur but there’s no word on why Froyo didn’t make it to this device. The Defy is running an OMAP 3610 chip clocked at 800MHz and comes with Swype preloaded and is expected to ship to Europe in Q4.

I also have the HD2 running Shubcraft CM6. I've been following the Android community for a while now and couldn't be happier doing anything else. "Go Green, get -C}[\][D[R[-][][D-"
