Motorola's rough and rugged V750 now available on Telus

It won't fill the void left in your heart from not being able to acquire a BlackBerry Storm, but it will withstand the beating you probably feel like dishing out. Motorola's surprisingly stout V750 has made its way across the border and onto Telus Mobility, bringing with it EV-DO Rev. A support, a 2.2-inch 320 x 240 internal display, 3.8-hours of talk time (83-hours in standby) and military-grade resistance to things like drops, water and extreme temperatures. If you're headed up to Yellowknife (or even crazier, Tuktoyaktuk), one of these could certainly come in handy. It's available now for between $199.99 and $399.99 depending on contract length.

There's a chance that someone in Yellowknife (or even crazier, Tuktoyaktuk), might even want it.

This phone is NOT water resistant.

At least Rogers didn't scoop this up and make it another "exclusive".

There isn't a single instance of the word "water" on that page.

ya its definitely not water resistant, its basically a normal phone with rubberized numbers. the back pops off very easily and i have seen some where the hinge breaks from the top of the phone. looks cool though
