There I was last week, in the middle of the jungle, following the Rainforest Challenge Expedition. I had my Samsung Galaxy S phone and wallet safely stored in my SealLine waterproof neck pouch. But you know that sinking feeling when you are wading waist-deep in a giant mud pond. Now, if only Motorola had launched the Defy a week earlier…

Concrete Jungle Dip: All eyes on the phones, please...

Here I am today, on the Rooftop Mixology Bar of G Tower, observing two lovely ladies taking the new Motorola Defy for a dip. Motorola Mobility has just launched the new Motorola DEFY, moments ago. DEFY is a slim, full-featured Android smartphone that is water, dust and scratch resistant. The large display is made of Gorilla Glass, well known for its resistance against impact and scratch damage. Hey, it’s Life Proof!
