Hear conversations better in busy places with extra-loud speaker
Abuse the Motorola Adventure V750 all you want, Motorola says, because the military-grade flip phone will be able to take much of it.
With similarities to the rugged Motorola Tundra VA76r, which was unveiled at the 2009 International Consumer Electroncis Show (CES), the Motorola Adventure V750 also stands out with its extra-loud speaker for combating busy streets.
In addition, the Adventure is said to be brave with you along your travels for longer with the longest standard battery in its class. But is that really so? Read on.
Price
Think of the Motorola Adventure V750 as a flip phone that’s upgraded and reinforced for a cell phone in the same kind of way the car of a police officer is bolstered beyond what’s driven by a civilian.
When you add up that construction reinforcement, it’ll cost you and eclipse the $100 cell phone barrier.
While Verizon Wireless starts the Motorola Adventure V750 at $179.99, the price comes down to $129.99 after a $50 online discount.
