Sprint's Motorola i1 is about to get some competition here stateside as Motorola officially announced the introduction of the rugged style Motorola DEFY with T-Mobile. For those who only specifically remember this handset due to its ability to be submersed under water up to 3 feet, there are obviously some other neat features that make this handset resistant to the elements and to some of the daily wear and tear we can bestow upon it.
Luckily for T-Mobile, this Android powered handset is going to be exclusive to them and should become available for purchase in time for the busy holiday season. Additionally, pricing has yet to be publicly made known at this point. The Motorola DEFY features a 3.7” WVGA Gorilla Glass display, 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with flash, dual microphones, DLNA support, MOTOBLUR, Adobe Flash Lite support, and Motorola's CrystalTalk Plus technology.
Now one of the major unknown things about it is which specific version of Android we'll see it sporting. Previously, it was reported that the European version will see Android 2.1, but it's unclear as of right now which one will make it to T-Mobile's version. Nevertheless, Android 2.1 will easily beat out the Android 1.5 packing Motorola i1 over on Sprint's lineup.
