The ACTV is built for action. A chin bar at the base of the phone lets users clip it to a belt or pack. In addition to its sturdy exterior, users can look up symptoms and first aid tips, such as poison ivy, through built-in Mayo Clinic In Touch software.

It has a 1.3-megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom. Motorola's CrystalTalk technology and quad-band connectivity ensure clear calls from almost anywhere in the world. For handsfree connectivity, the ACTV can be paired with a compatible stereo Bluetooth enabled headset.

Consumers can listen to music through a built-in MP3 player and 2.5mm headset jack. It supports an optional microSD memory card up to 2GB. The ACTV features one click access to music, pictures and messages.

"The Motorola ACTV is designed to meet the needs of today's mobile consumers, from the great outdoors to the corporate jungle," said Dennis Burke, Vice President of Motorola. "With its sturdy exterior and feature-packed interior, this device will quickly become the phone of choice for people with an active lifestyle."

The Motorola ACTV features Alpine White or Black Slate color schemes, with either Canary Yellow or Mandarin accents.

I am thinking about buying this phone. Anyone run out and get it already? Need opinions.

Update: The battery barely lasts for 2 days of moderate use. My wife returned hers. It has also reset itself losing all contacts on the phone. The sim card and phone memories are seperate so you have to copy everything onto the sim card. Otherwise, still ok. I like the micro-sd slot. I just got the w450. seems fine so far. i like that it closes and the speakerphone stays on. battery ran down after 3 days of playing with it. i wish the usb connection worked without having to buy the motorola usb and software. the 4 direction buttons are slim and it's easy to hit the wrong button with your thumb. i use the nail of my thumb
