Stop the ATT press! 😲

I just might have to hang out with ATT just awhile longer!

Check this old school Moto (NEW) out.

And here's the tech specs from Canada.

Did you read the part about CrystalTalk 2 under 'Key Features'? 😳
I know, I know...it's a rugged phone for making...you guessed it, PHONE CALLS! I can't wait. Word is ATT should have it by the 24th. Since I'm still under contract I know I'm going to wind up paying a small fortune for this phone. 😡

Went to the local ATT store and asked about this phone. And of course the salesman didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

"But if your lookn' for a rugged phone I've got this Samsung right here I can sell you." 😡

Ah, no thanks. I'll wait.

Although I've read some ATT employees are aware of this phone coming out on ATT. 😁

Well it would appear the the W760r model number is headed to ATT rather than the VA76r.
Although they seem to be the same phone.

But since that post was a year ago. ATT sure doesn't seem in a hurry to get this device out.

Wow, if we only new how long it really takes to get a new phone out. 😳

I KNOW!!!! I was waiting for about 8 months and then finally gave in and got the rugby but hated it and returned. Now I'm waiting for this again. Headache.

Well while waiting for the Moto Tundra VA76r I picked up a BB Bold.
😲 MAN THAT THING IS NICE!

I Guess the Tundra VA76r is suppose to come out Tuesday. But after using the Bold for a few days I don't know about picking up the new Moto. 👀

I know, I know I'm comparing apples & oranges.

I'm still under contract. ☹️

But I'll go check it out, I could always sell my BB Bold. 😲

Well I picked one of these up. First ATT store said they hadn't gotten them in yet. ☹️
The second store said they only had 2 left, more like your store only received 2. 🤨

But this phone defiantly can fill a void between ATT and some of the phones in Sprint's line up, should be good for ATT. Initially I'd say the VA76r is better than the Rugby. But time will tell.

But holy bloatware! 😡 This phone has a ton of it. Hopefully someone will be able to re-flash it soon. 😈

I also picked one of these up, and I have a question for you. Have you tried putting a memory card in it with songs/pics/etc. and had any luck? I put all of that stuff on there last night (and it was all on there, successfully), I restarted my phone this morning and poof! It was all gone. Im gonna try to reload again tonight, but wanted to make sure it wasn't a phone issue...

You mean it wiped it off your memory card? 😕

If that's so mine hasn't done that.

yup, I had to take the sim card out (hence removing memory card) to put back in my old phone for awhile this morning. When I put it back together, all 4 GB's of stuff was gone.

Weird. 👀

I have had that happen with other memory cards. Witch I just wrote off as the card wearing out, especially if you move them from phone-phone-computer-etc allot.

good point, i'll try a different memory card tonight, thanks for the help

I put all of that stuff on there last night (and it was all on there successfully), I restarted my phone this morning and poof! It was all gone(deleted, not just not showing up). I'm gonna try to reload again tonight, but wanted to make sure it wasn't a phone issue or a "just my phone" issue (in which case I'd need to return)

Gees, don't use the speaker phone with the flip open on this phone! 😲
It picks up EVERYTHING except you!
Using the speaker phone with flip closed, MUCH better. 😉

I know I gave this phone a 4.5 but I still wonder if I was the only dumbass to pick one of these up?

I mean both VZW & Sprint have similar phones that are thinner and made by Moto.

And for a PTT phone the speaker seems quieter that other PTT Moto's I've used witch also makes the ringer somewhat quieter.

And as for CrystalTalk 2, the V9x, Q9h, and Z9 sounded better than this phone. Not that the VA76r sounds bad, it's just that the others seemed to jack the volume up more automatically.

So I'm just wanting to get other users opinions of the VA76r. 😉

Got it too, but my speaker phone works great. I've used a lot of different push to talk phones from moto (work) and this is about the same (didn't have the same background noise problem you had described) I got this phone to compliment my iphone, but I love it. Big, easy to hold, takes a beating, etc. Mine is extremely loud (ringer and speaker phone). This phone won't win a lot of beauty contests, but it does its job. My cousin got one too, and he loves it.
