Rugged Motorola Defy to Receive Froyo Next Spring

If you’re looking at Motorola to drop Android 2.2 on your recently purchased Motorola Defy, we have some good news. Motorola has confirmed that the rugged Defy will get Froyo, but you’ll have to wait until Q2 2011 to get it.

Today we can confirm that in EMEA we plan to upgrade Motorola DEFY to Android 2.2 (FroYo) in the second quarter of next year and that Milestone XT720 will remain on Android 2.1. Anyone looking for information about this and updates for other
regions should go to our forum.

If you’re wondering what “EMEA” means, it means that the following regions will be receiving the update:

  • Europe
  • Middle East
  • Africa

There’s no word of Android 2.2 for the Defy hitting the United States, but we’re pretty confident Motorola will spread the Froyo love around that same time-frame.

Features of the Motorola Defy include:

  • Android 2.1
    • Motoblur skin
  • 3.7″ WVGA touchscreen display
  • DLNA support
  • 5MP camera
  • OMAP 3610 processor clocked at 800MHz
  • Adobe Flash lite

How do you feel about waiting until Q2 2011 for Android 2.2?
