Great phone, not one of those sissy phones. Loud, rugged, great reception. Works good with Plantronic Voyager Pro bluetooth. Have tried G'Zone, Barrage. Like previous reviewer, those phones were junk. Maybe you could throw the G'Zone in the water, but mine would reboot itself about 10 times a day. Verizon replaced it 3 times, finally I gave up and got a refund. And that Barrage! I never had a phone with a talk time battery life of about 1 hour. And that was with the PTT and GPS locater turned off!

Pros

A tough phone from Verizon that work good (finally).

Cons

Screen could be brighter in sunlight. Speakerphone button gets pushed by mistake when holding phone.
