Motorola Adventure V750 coming July 28th

Click to see a large image.
The Motorola Adventure V750 we first broke the cover on in April finally has a scheduled date for release.  It will be available in all channels on July 28th and will run $99.99 with a two year contract, after a $50 mail in rebate.  The Adventure is certified to Military Specifications and features a 2 megapixel camera and microSDHC expansion.  It will also usher in Verizon's next generation Push-to-Talk technology, running over the EVDO Rev. A network.  We're not exactly sure what the exact underlying issue is; it is similar to Sprint's QChat service but they own the patent to it so there are some technological differences between the two.  No word on if the G'zOne Boulder will launch at the same time, but chances are it can't be far behind.

I work for vzw and we had a training on this phone and the new PTT service... the phone is actually not that bad and the PTT service is excellent. But then again it is motorola so I would expect software issues

man, what is so bad about this phone? if it were a frikin LG or samsung, u guys would be like "oh yah, not bad, not bad." But you just like to rip on moto b/c they arent doing well right now. Someone tell me what is so wrong with this phone? For only $100 you get verizon's PTT, EV-DO rev. A, 2 megapixel camera, 1170 mAH battery, VZ navigator, V cast music and TV, micro SD expansio, (up to 8GB), military spec, and MP3 playback!

I dont like VZ, but I have been lookin forward to the launch of the V950 on sprint since march, and i jsut dont get why people HATE these 2 phones so much..

ok first off ive had 2 motorolla phones (V325i, and the V3m RAZR) both of them sucked.All of motorolla's phones have horrible batteries (they arent quality so you have to keep buying more of them. As well as horrible parts inside them which makes them slow slow and slower than any other lg or samsung phone ive had because of the bad expiriences ive had with motorola i dont ever want to go back. THANKS MOTOROLA BECAUSE OF THE CRAPPY PHONES I BOUGHT FROM U IVE LEARNED NEVER TO DO BUSINESS WITH U AGAIN HOPE U GET BETTER!!!!!

Ok, basically this just proved my point. First of all, you couldnt find ANYTHING wrong with this phone, the second, and funniest, is that you actually didnt name anything wrong with your phone. The FACT is that motorola actually puts better batteries in their phones! Im sure you didnt know that if a moto battery goes bad, it can be replaced, if an LG batter goes bad...tough luck! Now as far as battery quality as concerned, lets take the razr V3m. It came out in 2006 with a 740 mAH battery, the BRAND NEW samsung SCH-U550 has an 800 mAH battery....so? The new moto W755 which replaced the razr has a 950 mAh battery, and the SCH-U550 is more expensive than the W755! So you are just wrong. Now, the "horrible parts inside them which makes them slow slow and slower." This comment makes me wonder why I am even arguing... It really needs no explaining. The points you made can be argued, but you dont have any concrete issues, like "the phone has shorter battery life than blank phone, or, only 1.0 bluetooth when blank phone has 2.0 bluetooth. Im still wondering why everyone hates this phone. I guess that bottom line is people just dont like motorola, which is too bad.

Carter, im sorry if you had bad experiences with your moto phones, but I know 5 people who had the razr, 3 were very close friends. They all had them for 2 years and loved them. One still has a razr, and the other will get another moto product, probably the razr2! Motorola makes fine phones, just look at the reviews. Everyone has poor phones and excellent phones, and just b/c moto is in the gutter now doesnt mean you have to kick them while they are down.

I'm not sure why every rips on Moto. I've had LG in the past and returned them within a week because of poor signal strength. I've had my E815 for 3 years!

the last good phone they made was the v60c. the 815 was ok, but most people only hold onto theirs b/c it was one of the last vzw ui holdouts and you could seam edit the hell out of it. reception was stellar, but the s/w was still buggy and god knows the charging ports were the wost ever designed. chances are that if you owned one 815 its been swapped out three or four times.

to motoman...motorola has done well to earn their crappy reputation. just b/c a phone has features doesnt mean it works

I've never had software issues with my E815 and I've never had to have it swapped....I still have the original one. Guess I was lucky. I agree that the charging port is a bad design. That's why I'm looking to get a new phone - I have to fiddle with it to get the phone to charge. The problem is I'm not sure what new phone to get. I don't want touch screen or a full keyboard....I just need a phone with excellent call quality and signal strength.

the E815 was an exception is Motorola's product line-up. That phone performed very well. But if u want good call quality and strength stick with LG

Why? So we can all have software bugs that causes our phones to shut off after sending every 2nd picture message? (The bug with the VX-8700)

Don't get me wrong, I love LG. But I've had a lot of nice motorola phones too. The V60, RAZR (Of course you're going to see a lot of these with problems, like 50% of the entire cell phone using population uses one, but I've never had a problem with the 2 of mine, the W755.

But not making this phone waterproof was a mistake :( just spray it with some instant plastic or something. Shrink wrap it or melt a zip lock bag over it.. something!

i work at verizon... i see motorolas come in everyday with problems. tons of them. i went through 6 razrs and two slvers myself before giving up on them.... all crap.
i just want to know- is this damn phone waterproof... i have a pool guy coming into my store every two weeks to buy a new phone cuz he's always dropping his in the water.

maybe your guy should start leaving his phone in the car......phones are not waterproof can get water resistant but your talking about a hand held computer.......would you want to hold your laptop over a pool? I've had my black q sense it came out and not had problems other than shutting off after i've dropped it million times........yeah razr is not that great the krazr is worse but the w315 was good and the w385 also the Z6c and Z6tv....been doing this for 6 yrs so stop all the haten people god.

it is not water proof, it meets more rugged specs than the Boulder does, EXCEPT it is not water proof/resistant. Nada. Zilch. Splashing bad!

Using your logic, why make it ruggedized then?

The G'Zones had the right idea.

The Type V was a flop because of that silly bumper thing and the external antenna.

The Type S was a flop because the idiots decided to downgrade it when they fixed the Type V's aesthetic issues.

I predict the Adventure is going to be a flop for not being waterproof.

The Boulder may be too.. I'm skeptical due to it's looks, and I haven't checked to see if it's waterproof yet either.

After long (and expensive) testing, certain phones work better with certain providers. As in verizons case, LG is the most dependable followed by Motorola ( and its little sister Samsung ). Alltel has the best luck with the Motos. Att/Cingular seems to have the best luck with Sony. As for the waterproof thing, the adventure (750) at verizon is advertised as only water resistant, while the G'zone is advertized as water proof to a certain depth. I've watched it demonstrated and thought it was a neat feature, I just hate the fact that it is a crappy phone. I've used the 750 and find it to be a fantastic phone. I still laugh at the morons who complain about not being able to get the battery cover on right. Theres a trick to it but the instructions make it simple.

If you are in high school or college and all you do is text then LG is fine. But you won't find anyone in the business world walking around with an LG. It's Moto or Blackberry.

I see many business users using the original V (vx9800) due to it's durability and size. They prefer them to the "smartphones" since the battery life is longer, bluetooth seems to be stronger in their cars, and the units aren't the size of 2 decks of cards.
I am not knocking the BB's or other PDAs, just commenting...
Back to the subject: I'll reserve judgement until testing this phone, but it looks like a winner. Many people return phones since they sat on the devices or "accidentally" dropped them. I would rather have a tough phone that just works than constantly making an appearance at my local wireless phone store.

"Im sure you didnt know that if a moto battery goes bad, it can be replaced, if an LG batter goes bad...tough luck! "

What the heck is this guy talking about??? Any battery on any phone can be replaced(except the IPhone maybe)...Less than $10 for most batteries online.... Oh and the Battery on my LG ENV2 ...talk time 5 to 6 hours....beat that!!

actually, the env2 gets battery life like that b/c its external screen is smaller than the 3 year old i870 on nextel!
