Thanks a lot guys. So Galaxy S advance is a good choice. But many people said that they are facing network issues. Is it there in your phone? Micromax a116 is good but it is out of stock everywhere.

Ask h@r$h@l (or such, based in GJ1). He flashed EU ROM to solve it AFAIK.

The only negative is that it does not feel as Rugged as the Defy and IS NOT WATERPROOF!

And no Gorilla glass, which means it can't co-exist with the keys in my pocket.

My search for Defy replacement continues, I am looking at Lumia 720 as a possibility.

Meanwhile, my Defy is still working fine, just a month short of completing two years.

Good luck getting the A116. Snapdeal still has a backlog of over 5k orders.

I had booked A116 at m2hshop.com on 19-Feb-13 & still no confirmation of the delivery time.
Yesterday I called them, they are expecting their first lot by 25th March. Not sure how true it is.

Any idea how long Micromax will take to scale up & match the demand.

That's a first I'm hearing! How could you brick a locked bootloader? Any particular Rom to avoid which you think caused this?

Looks like Jelly beans 4.1.2 update is rolling out for Galaxy Note Indian users. However, doesn't look to be available via OTA as of now.

Looks like they might release it soon. This is what I get when I tried to update. This used to come for previous updates as well.

EDIT - It's available in India from today. OTA or via Kies

I'm kinda bored with Android now. Hopefully in terms of ruggedness too 720 would rival Defy.

Actually, I still think i could revive if i get a decent battery. My battery is dead and even the Mcgeysers method did not work after a few attempts..

The current issue is I get Pass with RSD lite but the phone does not boot up :Shockked:

Going by your recent posts, I suppose you want a handy(less than 4.3 inch screen) phone with Gorilla Glass

A couple of recommendations

-HTC 8S
-Xperia J (not much of an upgrade though)
-LG Optimus L7

Or if you are Ok with an older phone, even an S2 will do..

Same here, one of my colleagues got the expected shipping date on 20th march.

He called snapdeal customer care yesterday and they replied the order is delayed by 10 days.

Your comment is slightly misleading.

Do you mean it in a positive way i.e there are VERY FEW phones that can match up to / beat the Defy? (I hope this is the case!)

Or you are hinting that there are some phones out there which can better the Defy? If the latter, I'll be interested to hear the names!
