Well, picked up Defy at a retailer in New Delhi yesterday a day after it was reported as launched on some web-sites. A rather muted launch - no ads, nothing. Just some wague press release which found mention on some vague websites. Anyway, I got my hands on it @ Rs.18,500.
Somethings I was surprized about. First the unit was made in Chennai, India in January 2011. Second, the software on it doesn't seem to have Motoblur on it. I see very few Motorola widgets, but nothing like lot of what other people complain about Motoblur and other bloatware. In fact, in Add Account, there is no mention of a Motoblur account and during setup, there was no need to create a Motoblur account. I guess they cleaned up lot of things for India release.
I am so far pleased with everything. Keeping my fingers crossed. And waiting for Froyo update.
