instantly connected at work and play, near and far, the Motorola V750 delivers a durable and reliable feature-rich phone.
Work Hard
The Motorola Advnture V750 offers a refined ruggedness, not only in the way it’s designed, but also in the way it works. It thrives in harsh environments; meeting military-specs for extreme conditions including shock, vibration, dust, and solar radiation. With no-slip surfaces, the Motorola V750 is tough enough to handle active work or an invigorating hike2, yet it’s refined enough to hold its own at a meeting or nightclub. In addition, with an extra-loud speaker, users will hear conversations better on busy streets, nightspots or work sites.
Play Hard
Enjoy the ride with the fully-loaded Motorola V750. Download music directly from the phone or sync favorite tracks, albums, playlists from a PC (requires an optional data cable) and with dedicated external music keys, it’s always easy to access top tunes.
If users are interested in creating their own content, a 2 megapixel camera captures spontaneous moments. With up to 8GB of optional removable memory, users have plenty of room to store all their favorites. Access the Internet to check out the latest news and download ringtones, wallpapers and games and enjoy calls and music, hands-free with stereo Bluetooth® wireless technology.1,4

A mid range phone with a neat search function. When you use it it will search you phone book, apps, internet favorites. So if you type in cal, it will search your phonebook for ppl with cal in their names, find the calendar, calculator, plus your internet favorites with cal in the name. It's really neat and works fast.
lol it maybe has a loud speaker phone and is water resistant, but i doubt it would survive a 30 ft drop. Im thinkin like 4-5 ft drop
Note the terms "mildly ruggedized" in the description above. It is not water resistant and doesn't have the same kind of ruggedization as the Nextel phones, for example.
All in all a good phone (speaking from Verizon experience) but lacking in the ability to take the abuse.
