Motorola Adventure V750 Review

I have only had my V750 for a little while and I have to say that I have not experienced the problems outlined in previous reviews.

In regards to the back cover bubbling and not fitting correctly. With a little patience if you careful push in all the contact points, the battery cover does fit snuggly with no bubbling or gaps.

As for the plastic that attaches the USB and audio jack covers, it is as durable as the ones on my LG Chocolate phone which I replaced after over a years worth of use.

I really liked the "In Case of Emergency" contact info that is already on the phone as well as the ability to enter any notes (I have a medical condition that can be life threatening.)

Motorola Adventurer v750 - Cheap piece of junk

Motorola Adventurer v750 review

Cheap piece of junk

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 year old”. I used to think Motorola made good phones, but after getting this phone I am returning it right away as I can tell, it is nowhere as good as my two year old v3.

I am extremely disappointed in Motorola for putting out such a sub standard phone with a high standard price.
