Verizon launches Motorola Adventure V750 with Rev. A push-to-talk support

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 21st 2008 at 1:40PM

Verizon has gone ahead and jumped its own gun by a week, launching the rugged Adventure V750 today for a penny under $100 on contract after rebates. The phone becomes the very first on Verizon's network to support Rev. A-based push-to-talk, a quantum leap in robustness and functionality over the older 1xRTT fare; the G'zOne Boulder is expected in the next few weeks, bringing Big Red a pair of durable units that should appeal to the typical PTT crowd. Buyers of the V750 can expect a 2 megapixel camera, external music controls, microSD expansion, GPS, and of course EV-DO Rev. A data, so it's a pretty well-spec'd setup considering its lot in life.

Is Engadget planning on doing a head-to-head betwen Sprint's Rev. A Qchat PTT and Verizon's Rev. A offering? I'd love to see how the two do against each other.

Not that I'll ever buy a phone for PTT...

Good call Jim. Honestly, the PTT crowd is mostly Nextel in my personal opinion. The fact that Sprint was able to deploy QChat to interoperate with Nextel is amazing. I wouldn't mind if other carriers would just pay a royalty fee and get on qchat or find some other was to intergrate. there is no reason all PTT's shouldn't work together.

You can teather with the v750 and use it as a modem on the Rev A EVDO network

Would I be able to transfer Nextel phone numbers to Verizon service?

So what is next with Verizon's PTT? Are they going to add any additional features?
