14 DAY TRIAL // If you live in Canada and you're jealous of your US neighbors who have the chance to buy Motorola's V750 and VE20 handsets, you might be happy to find out that both phones will soon be available north of the US border too.
According to a post found on Howard Forums, the two new Motorolas should be launched by Telus, the third largest Canadian mobile carrier. An exact release date is currently unknown, but it's highly probable that the phones will hit the shelves before the year's end.
Both the V750 and VE20 are clamshells (Motorola's specialty) released this summer in the States, the first via Verizon and the second via Sprint.
Named Motorola Adventure by Verizon, the V750 is a rugged phone that withstands dust, shocks, vibrations, solar radiations, high/low temperatures and high altitudes. Moreover, the handset comes packed with pretty nice mid-end features, like: built-in GPS, a 2.2 inch TFT QVGA internal display, a 1.6 inch external screen, EV-DO Rev. A connectivity, Push to Talk capabilities, Bluetooth 2.0, Music player with dedicated external keys, Web browser, email, IM, a 2 Megapixel camera, microSD card support and a battery capable of providing up to 5.5 hours of talk-time or up to 540 hours of stand-by time.
Motorola VE20 has about the same features (save for the rugged design and PTT): a QVGA TFT internal display with 262K colors, internal GPS, stereo Bluetooth, Music player with dedicated keys (touch-sensitive), a 2 Megapixel camera, Web and email capabilities, microSD card slot and so on.
The VE20 is said to be offered by Telus for 99 CAD with a 3-year contract agreement, or 279 CAD with no contract at all. The Canadian price of Moto V750 is currently not known, but users should keep in mind that Verizon is selling the clamshell for 99 USD, with an agreement for two years and after a $50 mail-in rebate.
