The Motorola Adventure meets military specifications for extreme conditions including shock, vibration, dust, solar radiation, high-temperature storage, high and low temperature operation, and altitude. Created for active individuals, the Adventure leverages Push-to-Talk service and high-speed EV-DO Rev. A (Evolution-Data Optimized Revision A) technology for fast two-way communication with one person or a group of people.

The phone's no-slip surface and speaker make the Adventure tough and functional. With a large 2.2-inch high-resolution internal display and 1.6-inch external display, users can easily see which friends and colleagues are available and speak with.

The Adventure also has location-based services, including VZ Navigator and Field Force Manager. With VZ Navigator, users get audible maps, turn-by-turn directions and location information to more than 14 million points of interest that they can share with others.
