We first learned about the Motorola Defy from a leaked Tmobile roadmap that popped up back in July. The Defy was (officially) announced by Moto last month as a device that’s made to “withstand all that life throws your way”. Well, we’ve finally got a launch date and pricing for you, and not a moment too soon! T-Mobile tweeted this today, announcing that the Defy will be launching on November 3rd, with a .99 price tag. So, if you’re looking to pick up this ruggedized device, hit up your local Tmobile store (or Tmobile.com) next month to grab one. And to be honest, a tough Android phone with 2.1 at 0 is a steal.

Just for reference, the Defy has a 3.7-inch, 480×854 resolution touch screen, MotoBlurâ„¢, an 800MHz processor, Kindle for Android and Blockbuster preloaded, a 1540 mAh battery, and of course, an autofocus 5MP camera with an LED flash. Not too shabby, huh?
