When to choose this phone:

Choose the Defy when you work hard and play hard. This phone gives you all the benefits of a smartphone with none of the hassle of having to protect it. A definite favourite of ours and a bestseller. This phone is great for a wide range of users, but is most popular with tradesmen who want a smartphone that won’t fall apart on them.

Pros:

Rugged phones are known for being ugly, but not the Defy. You get the looks, the brains, and the muscle with this phone. It’s waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, builderproof, and partyproof, while also running the Android operating system which allows you to download apps, browse the internet and read your email. The price point is also much better than most smartphones, and it’s a blue tick phone with great reception in regional areas.

Cons:

The touchscreen is not as responsive as some of the more expensive models, so it can be a little laggy if you’re comparing it to an iPhone or similar.
