Motorola Adventure V750 Cell Phone

Cons: Should Come with Holster

Summary: This is the best PTT that Verizon offers. The speakers, earpiece and external are clear. The signal strength is great as is the screens, clear and bright.

The build quality of the phone is fine and should last for years.

Highly recommended from a long time user, not a one day complainer!

Cons: Nothing major

Summary: For the reviewer who tried to put the battery cover on must be only once...It does sit flat you just have to push the sides of it a little harder than what is normally comfortable. Also he complained about the plug covers, they DO feel cheap but they are pretty strong actually. I had a Moto W385 and LOVED IT! This phone is a VERY good replacement. The battery life is about 4 or 5 days with about 1 hour talk time each day and about 15 messages in that 5 day time. That would be the only thing I would consider a con, if you want a phone to last a week or more this prolly wont do it. Feels very rugged, front buttons for your MP3 playback! Inside display is AWESOME! Highly recommend this phone for sure.

Cons: Freezes up and resets itself during use and message cancel does not work.

Summary: I loved everything about this phone...except that it kept freezing up. The display was locked and the keypad went dead. I did not use the push to talk feature - this happened while texting, talking or taking pictures. Sometimes it would recover after a minute or two, other times the phone would actually turn off and then turn back on. On numerous occasions, I had to remove the battery in order to get the phone to recover. The oddest thing of all is if I canceled a text message, it would still be sent to the recipient...even though my phone indicated it was canceled. This happened 100% of the time, not just occassionally. I have internet blocking so I'm sure I didn't download a virus or other web junk. I plan to purchase this phone again...once the bugs are worked through!

Cons: read review below

Summary: Don’t buy this phone before you read a few reviews. I am going to submit this review to a few different sites so do be surprised if you come across this a few times. I am returning this phone on day one without even activating it because I don’t want to waste my time with a cheaply made phone.

First thing off, as I take the phone out of the box is that it is extremely light. Not a bad thing but in this case it seems to indicate that it was made completely of plastic. I don’t mind plastic so long as the phone is made well. In this case its not. I have a 2 year old Motorola v3, its about 2 or 3 ounces heavier and made a lot more sturdy.

If Motorola is going to call this phone ruggedized they should have made it a little stronger. The flip swivel part of the phone is made of plastic and nowhere near as strong as my old v3. The v3 is flip swivel is made of metal; the v750 is made of plastic. In fact it has the feel of a cheap piece of plastic that would probably break the first time you drop the phone with it open.

Second the back plate that covers the battery is another flimsy piece of plastic that doesn’t even fit right. It doesn’t look like they had a QA this time around for this phone because the back plate bubbles out around the battery. You set the plate onto the back of the unit and there are gaping spaces along the sides that give little or no protection for the battery. The picture looks great, but once you put the battery in the back cover plate will not lay flat and match up to the phones recesses.

Third the battery cover plate itself easily falls off. Once again I don’t think they had any QA in this. Just one small catch on the side of the phone plate and the back cover plate falls off. It doesn’t really offer any protection for the battery or the mini-sd card. Yes the mini-sd is a little more accessible. But a lot of good it does you when you lose the back plate because it’s made like junk.

Fourth if you look at the picture of the unit you’ll notice the plastic covers for the data port and the headset earpiece. Both are made of a medium soft plastic. Once again no QA in on this cause when you plug in the battery charger, the plastic piece is stretched to the limit and I guarantee that it will probably break in the first week of charging. It’s like no one ever even plugged in a charger to this unit to see how it works. Once the tiny cover breaks, if your lucky enough to find the piece, will it stay in the phone without the attachment piece? I don’t think so. Even a rubberized cover would have been better.

Fifth, the data port connection is new. Go ahead and throw away all your old chargers and usb adapters because they won’t work. Did they fire all the guys at QA? Must have because this port seems just a lilt smaller than the old ports on the v3’s.

To summarize; This phone should not be called ruggedized or even adventurer. More like “rip off” or a “toy for a 4
