First unveiled (in an unofficial way) back in April, Motorola Adventure V750 has been released today in the US by Verizon Wireless, coming in a week before its rumored launch date (July 28).
The new V750 is available, as of now, via Verizon's business channels, as
well as on the carrier's official website, for prices starting at $99 (with a contract agreement for two years and after a $50 mail-in rebate).
The coolest thing about Motorola V750 is that it's a combination between a tough handset and a mid-end multimedia clamshell. The "Adventure" part from its name is not there because it sounds good, but because the new phone is rugged and meets the 810F military standards for shock, vibration, dust, solar radiation, high and low temperature, and altitude.
Moto V750 brings the following features: a 2.2 inch TFT internal display with 240 x 320 pixels and 65K colors, a 1.6 inch external display with 120 x 160 pixels and the same number of colors, Push to Talk, VZ Navigator, EV-DO Rev. A connectivity, Web browser,
email, Instant Messaging, Music player (supporting MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC ), dedicated music keys on the outside case, V CAST Music with Rhapsody, V CAST Video, Bluetooth 2.0, a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording, Field Force Manager, Advanced Speech Recognition, voice command, speakerphone and expandable memory (up to 8GB).
Motorola V750 weighs 3.94 ounces (111 grams) and, when closed, measures 4.0 x 2.0 x 0.65 inches (102 x 51 x 16.5 millimeters). The battery included in the clamshell should last up to 330 minutes in talk-time mode or up to 540 hours in stand-by mode.
There is no word yet on whether Motorola V750 will be offered from other mobile operators except Verizon, but a possible future carrier for the Moto Adventure is Sprint, which is known for having lots of rugged handsets in its lineup.

| Comment #1 by: Steve on 25 Jul 2008, 04:33 GMT |  reply to this comment | I received mine today and I wasn't impressed. Not even waterproof. Of course Motorola changed the charger receptacle just enough to make all my Razor type car chargers worthless. Motorola just doesn't get it. Taking advantage of consumers now days just doesn't work. Anyone had problems with Motorola batteries? That's another 50 bucks for Motorola on a fairly regular basis. Motorola is becoming a bad brand. |
