Motorola to Release New Rugged Android Smartphones Next Year Motorola is currently making just Android devices, and among those flagship handsets that keep fighting the iPhones in various markets we also find special rugged Android devices ready to withstand difficult conditions

The Motorola Defy or the Motorola i1 are such rugged Android smarpthone released by Motorola this year and it seems we're looking at a quite popular type of smartphone with the crowds. Besides rugged features that make it resist harsh working conditions the Defy and/or i1 also offer a full Android smartphone experience, which is probably one reason for these handsets to become pretty popular.
