The new PTT plan is going to be 5 bucks a line. Motorola software is what is in poor design, the parts are fine, With most Motorola's the only complaints people have have had have been with battery life and software. NO-ONE has ever complained about the Motorola's signal unless the radio has been damaged or interfered with by third party software, like radio comm or something to that effect. The only issue with the software has been they never put a cap on the storage of messaging portion of the phones firmware. Which they resolved with the newest Version of the V3m software release. TAKE YOUR PROS AND CONS!! With Motorola CDMA you are going to trade battery life for Call reception. Rake receivers don't come cheap. This new device is REALLY COOL!! I've played with it a few times already. NO LATENCY!!! (Based on coverage). Now it is MIL-SPEC, but not 810f, so it is not water immersive. But it is shock/dust/heat resistant. AND NO, CHEMICAL ENGINEERS, it is not intrinsically safe like you see on other posts!! DO NOT USE IN THE LAB BUDS!! The prototypes I got to play with have AWESOME SPEAKERS, it takes up the bottom portion of the phone. The alert is pretty loud, however you cannot change the alerts, an IDEN usually. (Strange since its software based they couldn't let us just once be able to change the alert!!) Battery life is pretty good. Buttons are solid, well placed on the handset. Sending sounds to yourself and storing them as ring tones WORKS!! HEHE, didn't tell them I did that one a few times. MUSIC IS AWESOME ON SPEAKERS!!! Really good quality, no scratchiness or "wha wha" sounds. Overall mobile web experience pretty good for brew. Camera did pretty well indoors, even in low light conditions!!! Didn't get to test it much outside. Overall I think its going to be a GREAT release handset for the new Rev. A roll-out. And on the comment about constantly switching razars. The only reason why you see that is because people arent thinking about it when they store HUNDREDS OF MESSAGES on their RazRs, Slvrs, V325/i/xi's. Whenever you store that much information on an environment normally aspirated for only up to 70, MAYBE 80 TEXT MESSAGES, not even including pix/flix messages, you are going to have issues!!! Motorola's Software team is something led to be desired, but their hardware has always been TOP NOTCH. If you think LG is so superior, why not just grab the data comparing a few Dare's RSSIs' indoors versus the Razr 2, MAxx VE, V3M/V3c, V325/I. And comparing a number of handsets in a row of the same phone. I think that you will see that Motorola's Radio performance is always going to be SUPERIOR!! Now thats not to say samsung/lg don't have good handsets. Or that Motorola has really any handsets currently out that contend with the Aforementioned handset, the "Dare", or other GAME changing devices. (Which I may purchase at retail, and sell this Flipshot!!) MOTOROLA INVENTED THE GAME!! They have always owned it in the world of Radio Telecommunicationns. But their downfall has always been Software development, and roll-out. (More to do with what crap their testing department rolls out!! {That means you MIKAIL!!!}) Now when it comes to the blaze...... You got that one, its going to be a piece of crap!! But when you say a handset always comes in, look at the amount of phones that handset has sold, compared to that which has been returned. The TRUE failure rates don't lie! There will always be multiple returns on a handset when people don't know how to educate proper use, versus just swapping out a phone every time you have a problem. If you just give them a new phone, you're not solving the problem. ::: Stepping off the Soap Box:::
The Adventure V750 is going to rock it!!!
If you're all good little posters, I'll tell you what that little Boulder (C711) is like, hehehe.

Ok.........I'll bite. What is the Casio Boulder like? I can only imagine the camera feature is good since it is made by Casio.

So I'm trying to find some reviews on the v750 and I'm getting tons of "thumbs up." Then, I come to this forum and notice all the people ripping on Motorola phones. Now, I've gone to the Verizon store and seen the phone and got familiar with the controls, and I have to say that it's intuitive, just like every other Motorola phone I've ever owned. Their design always seems to be top-notch, and when they market a rugged phone, it always holds up to the abuse it's given.

I've had v60s and the v325. Both have stood up to dozens of drops. My first v60 lasted for almost 3 years before my girlfriend at the time ran it over with her Ford Focus. It never had issues, and even after being smashed by a car, it still turned on, but just for a second to be fair. The v325 has done me no wrong and is solid as a rock.

Now, for everyone who's got something bad to say, what's your basis? Are you judging the equipment on flashiness or efficiency? My v325 never has to be reset, and it doesn't crash. It's practically flawless. And how the hell do you people treat your phones? Are they always being dropped on concrete and dangling over swimming pools? Have some common sense and don't put them in these situations. No matter how "tough and rugged" a cell phone is, it's still a tiny piece of equipment that can be broken in half with just a little bit of pressure.

I just bought the Adventure v750 because of all the good reviews, and I'll let everyone on this forum know how awesome it is after I use it for a week or two.

Take it easy,
Manoli

i plan on getting a adventure within the next two days, and ive had my razr for 2 years and the battery is kinda goin but i can still get about 3-4 hours of battery outa it, my mom has a LG and hers got fried when they tried to put new software on it, theres to show you how LG phones work. Im not bashing LG because some of thier phones are nice but some just arent that great. As for Samsung, those phones have great battey life! But im gonna go with this new motorola adventure!

The only thing I am a bit leary of is the lack of a backlit keypad. I ordered one and will test it out.

I can personally recommend not wasting your time with the Boulder phone. First, the phone appears and feels durable, I like the layout of the keys, and the software seems good. From there my next comment is that it's a good phone if you want to text and don't have much concern about hearing the other party or talking to them. The audio is CRAP and the microphone evidently is muffled as well. Went through 5 of them in a week and was told to "turn the volume down" to cut down on distortion. "Then are that way due to the waterproofing".

Don't make a phone with a volume setting that's useless. I called Verizon Wireless from out of town to make them aware of this audio issue and the CSR could not understand me, nor could I understand her. I finally YELLED "that is my point". They traded it for an Adventure and so far so good. Acceptable audio and software is working good so far. Have had it for about a week and good reception and battery life. That's my two cents.
