Motorola DEFY XT
While the Motorola DEFY XT may be an entry level Android, it could be a better choice for those who love rugged phones, but it ships with Gingerbread OS, which is out dated now. It can be dropped, submerged in water, and is truly a dust/scratch proof phone. Here’s the specs list:

# Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS
# 1GHz processor
# 512MB RAM
# 5MP rear-shooter with LED flash

# IP67 rating against water and solid articles
# 1650mAh battery
# Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0
U.S. Cellular will start selling the Motorola DEFY XT from August 3rd both online and in stores for an unknown price tag. Republic Wireless has it for $249 off-contract and if you own LG Optimus handset, Defy XT costs just $149.
