status updates that really matter.

dustproof and water-resistant, because accidents
happen.
• Boredom is not an option. Take your
entertainment with you wherever you go with a
5MP camera with flash, Connected Music Player
and your favourite Google™ apps and services like
YouTube™, Android Market™, Gmail™ and more.

help you find it or wipe it. And when you get your next
MOTOBLUR product, your stored info makes it a

ways to protect your phone and your information,
in “Security” on page 52.
Stands up to life
Your Motorola DEFY stands up to water, dust and life,
because accidents happen. Now your investment is
safe and protected from life’s little challenges like that
sudden rain shower and other everyday mishaps.
Of course, your phone isn’t indestructible, so to avoid
damage from natural elements, such as water, sand
and dust intrusion, always make sure that the battery
door cover and connector covers are closed and
secure.
If your phone gets wet and/or dirty:
•Wipe with a soft cloth and shake to remove excess
water from the entire phone, especially the display
screen, speaker and microphone ports.
•Allow your phone to air-dry for at least 1 hour before
using it again.
•Always make sure you clean all dirt and debris from
the battery door cover/seals and connector covers.
Note: Your phone is not designed to float or work
underwater.

11Social networking
Social networking
my life, your life
Your MOTOBLUR account
The first time you turned on your phone, you
registered for a MOTOBLUR account that manages
your messages, contacts and more (“Set up & go” on
page 3). You can log into this account from a PC to
upload contacts, reset your password, get help or even
locate your phone: www.motorola.com/mymotoblur
What is MOTOBLUR?
MOTOROLA DEFY with MOTOBLUR is a phone with
social skills.
Now, the only service that can sync all your friends,
emails, messages and Facebook®, MySpace, Twitter
feeds and happenings with continuous updates and
back-ups, along with the ability to remotely locate and
wipe your phone if it is ever lost or stolen, just got
better.
Introducing the latest MOTOBLUR. MOTOBLUR
offers new features that give you more control,
including customisable filters that let you view your
messages and happenings any way you like, the ability
to move and resize preloaded widgets and new ways
to manage your battery life and data consumption.
Update your status
After you add a social networking account, you can
update and see your current status in a Social status
widget on your home screen.
To update your status, just touch your Social status
widget and enter text. If you have more than one
account, you can use the pull-down menu to limit
which accounts are updated. If you don’t see a Social
status widget, flick your home screen left or right to
check all panels.
To add a Social status widget:
1Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen
to open the Add to home screen menu.
2To u ch Motorola widgets > Social status. The
widget appears in the empty spot and will show
your status the next time your phone updates from
the network.

MOTOBLUR account before you can add other
accounts. From your home screen, touch Set up your
Blur account and follow the steps in “Set up & go” on
page 3.

12 Social networking

address and password that you set up on that account

and your status and updates can appear in Social
status and Social networking widgets.
Note: Twitter and MySpace messages will always
appear as “read” on your phone, but your phone
notifies you when you receive a new message.
MySpace marks your messages as “read” online.
For email accounts, see “Gmail™” on page 21.
Tip: To download updates faster, use “Wi-Fi™” on
page 34.
