After the interesting features of the Motorola Defy for T-Mobile, which had caught the attention of the customers, the mobile manufacturers are now all set to launch the Defy+. The Defy had a bright sharp screen with a nice and sharp screen, which looked attractive.

This was also a good seller for T-Mobile as it was priced at just $100 on contract and $50 in other places. It has been said that the new Defy + will be a better product than the Defy for T-Mobile as it will be featuring AT&T's 850, 1900, 2100, HSPA bands.

The features of the earlier Defy and the recent one aren't much different from each other, but two of its very important features like 1 GHz TI OMAP 3620 than the previous 800 MHz TI OMAP 3610 chip and the most important Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread makes the Defy+ stand out.

Disappointingly, the other features of camera, storage and display remain the same with no specific changes.
