Its really the "Defy+"

Check the Swipe version suffix in Swipe Options :

DefyPlus
It is too lame from motorola DefyPlus and what is the Plus thay want our money for... a software update. I like your and Quarxes version better the UI is too shiny too much animations, but it is a lame move from motorola they could update the original defy and relase a defy plus with in the same time. I think noone who has the original defy will buy this DefyPlus or after that move another motorola...

Will try this out just for today
I'd really love to try out this new ROM. I tried last week's Orange Gingerbread beta and that was good, but this sounds even better - - if only we could root it! I'd really want to root it and slim it and deblur... :D

Has anyone had any luck rooting this today? iaio72, it sounds like you've already tried everything I can think of!?

I agree it is very lame from moto. If they update our defy officially and then market a defy plus then every one will be happy but making users pay for a whole new phone would really suck balls

This is my second Android, and I already know not to expect more than one software update. The hardware manufacturers don't want to update your phone, they already got your money, they'd rather have you buy a new phone every 6 months. It was advertised last month that Google wants hardware manufacturers to update the software for 18 months, but we'll see how much Moto, HTC, Sony and Samsung comply. I doubt if they would update existing models, or unlock the bootloader. Mind you, iPhone gets almost 36 months of updates. Post sale support is where Android loses, big time.

yeah i dont care too much about official updates beacuse im sure the community can come up with better stuff faster

however its the minority that will customise their phone so the average condumer looses out something that doesnt happen with apple
