Want a smartphone that is resistant to water, scratches and dust? With Motorola DEFY ($528), you can now defy the elements.

You no longer have to worry about dropping your phone on the beach or spilling your drinks over it. Despite what Motorola calls its "life-proof" features, the DEFY measures a sleek 13.4mm and weighs 118g.

Powered by Android 2.1, the 3.5G smartphone has a high-resolution 3.7-inch touchscreen display with an Adobe Flash Lite-enabled Internet browser and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash. Other features include Assisted-GPS, Bluetooth and FM radio. The DEFY can double as a 3G wireless router as well. You can connect up to five WiFi-enabled devices to DEFY at any one time.

The phone boasts an impressive battery life with an estimated talktime of 400 mins and a standby time of 400 hours.

The Motorola DEFY will be on sale by Dec 18 at retail stores and all StarHub outlets. Trevor Tan
