I just ordered a Motorola Defy from Walmart and will be using Straight Talk. It won't be here until Tues. but I'm wanting to order accessories now, too. The problem is that there are apparently differant Defys. The Walmart ad just calls it the Motorola Defy. No where does it call it the XT, but in the model no. there is an XT. The complete model no. is STMTXT555CPWP . The straight talk website has a Defy XT, but doesn't list a model no. I thought I was ordering the Defy XT, now I'm not so sure it's not just the Defy. The local U.S. Cellular store has a Defy, but it has only a 3 something megapixel camera and the one I ordered has 5. And I think that there were other things differant about it. I've been looking on Amazon and it seems there are differant sizes of Defys. I've also heard of a Defy mini and a Defy pro?- can't remember for sure. I think that the car chargers and stuff are all interchangeable- between the Defy and Defy XT anyway- correct me if I'm wrong.... but I need to know which one I have for sure to get the right size cover, case and mobile dock. They list stuff for the Defy, the Defy XT, the Defy MB525, the XT556 and XT557, but I see nothing about XT555 which is in my model no.
I watched a review that said this phone has Gorilla glass and the one in U.S. Cellular didn't have it and now as I look back over the specs, it doesn't say it does, in either the Walmart ad or the Straight Talk ad. So I'm really disappointed 'cause I was really wanting that. Is there a differant one that has that? I feel screwed already!
I would also like to order at least one spare brand new battery, but want to make sure I get the right one(s). And I want to make sure I get a brand new one and not one used but recharged like some of the reviewers accused on Amazon.
I'm getting confused already!

Has anyone come across a UK or European supply for spare batteries?
I do a bit of geocaching so a spare battery always comes in handy.
I have not found any suppliers in the UK selling the battery yet. Even though Defy has a good battery life I still like to carry a spare battery with me as well.
I'm also after a spare battery, always useful to have.
I've raised a support request with Motorola UK asking them where / when they will be available. They should be available in their own online store at least.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the popularity of the DEFY might be taking them by surprise.
I did a little bit of research lastnight and the only official accessories is available for Motorola Defy is the battery door/cover going for $9.99.

It appears the battery door is sold by amazon (at checkout time) but when I visited amazon.com (US) I could not find it. Nonetheless, this is rather a good news that it is possible to replace the battery door in case it wears off or damaged.
doesn't any other motorola phone use the same battery?
the milestone 2 uses a 1540mah battery, can anyone confirm whether they are the same.

The Bravo uses the same battery but that is a US only device.
Defy Batteries availalble in UK
Aftermarket batteries have shown up now. Anyone got any experience with any of these companies?

I am thinking best to wait for a Moto official battery.
I would prefer an official Motorola one, but if nothing is forthcoming in the next couple of weeks I'll buy a 3rd party battery.
Northing back from my Motorola support request as of yet.
I have just ordered this one.
Lets see how it works.
Defy battery now available on the motorola site $40 just seen it.
Well, i just recieved to emails: One with the notification "payment recieved" and the other a little bit later from paypal, saying that my payment has been paid back - my order is canceled.
I dont think those shops got any Defy Batteries stock.
Well, got a couple of garbled emails back from Motorola - god I hope I don't need any real support with this phone
One email in broken English suggested to contact expansys, who don't yet list the BF5X (in fact, they misleadingly list the MILESTONE battery as an accessory for the DEFY, when in fact it is physically the wrong shape).
The next email that arrived a day later told me they would be in touch when they knew where and when they would be selling any batteries!
It's quite funny but I also pointed out that their sites for online registration don't list the DEFY in the models dropdown. So they directed me to another Moto UK site that doesn't list the DEFY!
I've found this place in the US that have them in stock, take PayPal and ship internationally:
http://www.thinkmotorolabravo.com/motorola-bravo-battery-oem-13558.html
So have ordered one as I can't be arsed waiting for Motorola UK to work out where they are and what they're doing.
Any news on actually avaible third party spare batterys?
13 USD for 2 batteries =) + Charger and Micro USB Cable

Not so much looking for a spare battery as much as an higher capacity battery. Any word on something like that?
Just been browsing ebay UK & found the following - 3.7v 1800mah. Can't post a link due to being a newbie but it's on ebay.co .uk & the item number is 200569859076.
Is very cheap in price so I'm wondering what it would be like in reality - too cheap to be any good?
Hello
I just bought a Defy, i love it... except, that i wanted to buy a white one, and in they do not sell that model for some reason here..
Anyone knows where to buy the part of a Defy, which is white? (I've already voided my warranty by rooting it, so i dont really care about guarantee.)
Is somewhere a "Mobile phone parts" shop in the net?
Thanks
I searched taobao.com for you,this shop in China sells black and white model.

I searched www.taobao.com again,
It seems that there's no total white module on sale.
Only middle housing is on sale.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10604950697
Front housing and battery cover is still black.
Taobao market is a Chinese online market,maybe there's no English version.
Sorry!
Even the white DEFYs on the market have only the middle housing in white. Would be perfect if they had a white battery cover
I don´t think its a good idea to disassamble an water resistant phone just to change the color... :/
Amazon sells this middle white defy out of stock, same price as the black one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004L2L64C/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&psc=1
you could just put one of the white hard rubber cases on off ebay for a couple of £$£$, ive seen the black one on a friends defy and they seem greeat value.

One of the things making the Motorola Defy slightly waterproof is the very very tight screws connecting the defy. a reassembling of the defy by an unprofessional could be just like throwing the main feature of the defy in the trash (the waterproofness and dustproof)

Keep in mind that if you unroot your phone the warranty comes back, but if you take the screws out the warranty is really gone.
Full white defy. Thanks to ebay n "Defyno1" it's a sticker. Better then it apart
http://wap.ebay.es/Pages/ViewItem.a...h=item3f0bf273af&autoredirect=off&emvcc=false
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
The online store that sold my defy had a fully black one and a black/white one. I wanted the black one, but since the there was no difference in the price with the contract and the white one had 2GB instead of 128MB internal memory, I went for the white one. The black one was also cheaper without a contract. Form follows function in this case.
What? Black ones have 2GB of internal storage too. Are there other Defy versions?
White Defy is different?
I have a white band Defy and I'm in China, wanna buy me a full black one and swap?
I think that Defy+ will be in full white so you could take all the parts off it or just buy the phone
The middile phone should be new Motorola Domino+
It would be a pathetic idea to change the rock hard cover. You might lose the advantage of owning a Defy.
hi all,
could someone please point me to a link where I can buy a cheapish original motorola battery for my defy. previously I've bought one off ebay but it turned out to be well short of the advertised 1500mah.
this one looks promising but i don't want to buy another fake.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350494094...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1654wt_1102
I'm in the U.K
I'm sorry that this is not what you're expecting to read here, but the only place to buy an original Motorola battery, while being absolutely sure that it's original, is a Motorola store or a respectable store.
Just my opinion...
Have you tried here:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...keywords=defy+battery&sprefix=defy,mobile,413
[Q] any difference between so called "international" defy and regular defy on amazon
Seems like a sales gimmick to me. I'm heading to China soon and am looking at getting another one.
Thanks
Update I found a photo and apparently they include a European plug adapter with it.

International maybe means that they have a standard micro USB .
Hi Guys,
Im loving my Moto Maxx ( Droid Turbo in Brazil ) and i made that post to let you know that droid turbo has the QI Sensor !
Here is a picture while its in charging mode.
It's sad that they don't put that information on brazilian motorola website... I'ts definetly something I would consider when buying a phone...
Before getting my Maxx, I asked Moto Care 2 or 3 times if it had the QI wireless charging receiver, and they always said no.
Motorola is such a different company here in Brazil, they should give us more attention since, as far as I know, we are the 4th biggest smartphone consumers in the world.
We don't have any sales, discounts, free cracked screen replacement ou other benefits offered on USA.
That's sad, I hope they change this, because I really like the brand.
