After being in stores for a week, let's now look into the Motorola V750 for Verizon, aka the "Adventure" and see how well it stands. In my post on how the market desires durable phones, this is one of the handsets I mentioned as the most durable.

The Adventure meets military specs for dust, shock and moisture (not water) resistance, which means it can handle a lot of bad stuff. Not invincible by any means -- no phone is -- but it will definitely perform better than most normal phones.

This phone features a 2 MP camera, PTT capability, music, high-speed internet, and email.

Now, the reviews.

CNet Editor Review - 7.6 out of 10

- Call and music quality were excellent
- Photo/Video quality were average
- PTT could be improved
- Speakerphone, meh
- Lacks Motorola's CrystalTalk feature
- Could only read email via web browser


PhoneScoop User Reviews - 4.05 out of 5

- Meets military specs, but not water resistant by any stretch of the imagination
- New VZW menu is easy
- PTT didn't experience any drag or delay
- Plastic flush battery cover is nice
- Capable of 8 gb MicroSDHC


So overall, seems like a great phone with some nice features thrown in besides the military specs. As always, I encourage any comments you may have on this device - whether you have tried it or want to try it, let me know what you think.
