AT&T and Motorola Delivers the Ruggedized Tundra VA76r Phone
January 7, 2009
Aside from the environment-friendly phone, W233 which Motorola is launching at CES 2009, the company also announced the new ruggedized Tundra VA76r. This new Motorola phone is a 3G clamshell device featuring a form factor and design which can withstand any environmental conditions. Geared for the mobile phone users who have active lifestyles, the Motorola Tundra VA76r provides fast access to the Internet either through 3G network or AT&T’s Mobility Push to Talk service.
Having passed the US 810F Military Specifications (MIL), the Tundra VA76r is certified to withstand drop, dust, vibration, humidity, severe temperatures and rain, so you can bring the phone anywhere you go. But that’s not all to the Tundra VA76r’s features though. It also features Motorola’s CrystalTalk Plus technology which delivers crisp and clear conversation during phone conversations. And with a touch of a single button using PTT technology, users can quickly connect to a single person or a group of contacts. In addition, the Tundra VA76r also features AT&T’s Navigator which provides turn-by-turn directions to new locations.
Other features of the Motorola Tundra VA76r include text messaging, mobile web browsing, AT&T Music, 2 megapixel camera, 100 MB internal memory, up to 4GB optional removable memory, and Bluetooth. It also lets you do multi-tasking, allowing you to run more than one application at a time, allows you to do simultaneous voice and data use, and address book locking.
