Hands-on with the new Verizon PTT devices
The Casio G'zOne Boulder and Motorola Adventure are now available from Verizon Wireless, and mark the launch of their second-generation PTT service. Both devices are Mil Spec, with the Casio being the more rugged (and waterproof) of the two. Both devices feature EVDO Rev. A, GPS, microSD expansion and VCast Music and Video. The Moto has a 2.0 megapixel camera, compared with the Casio's 1.3MP shooter, and external music controls. The Casio features unique tools, such as the electronic compass and flashlight feature. The Casio comes in either orange or silver, and the silver is available sans camera.
Stay tuned for our Verizon PTT reviews!

From my experience, the boulder does not stand up to the moto. The moto's speaker is much louder and clearer, the size is nicer, the hinge is easier to operate and the most important thing: the earpiece does not sound like shit.

What people don't realize is the Boulder's speakers are covered with a waterproof membrane. So yes, it will probably not sound as good as the Moto, which is not rated for moisture at all. Just like everything, it's a trade-off.

yup. Just sad because the type V didnt sound as bad....

if you cant hear the audio in a phone, im sure its TTY compatable and you could always get an hearing aid. audio on the phone isnt that bad, you can hear it up to your ear fine, you just cant use speakerphone in super loud enviroments, but in that situation using a phone is stupid anyways.

I would rather have a phone that is waterproof just so I could throw it at someones face in the pool.

@ 9 hahaahhaaha i that made me actually "lol"...made me think of the old sprint commercial.."my phones got a new security device. Really?. Yeah, try to grab it." *chucks it in his face* ...i would love to do that..imagine the laughs and time testing memory no one would forget.. "dude you remeber when we were younger and swimming are robs pool and i belted you in the face with my phone...and fractured your nose"

#8 Actually the phone is made by LG.

11. LessthanZach posted on 13 Aug 2008, 15:08

actually, no it's not. Audiovox/UTStarcom makes it.

22. (unregistered) posted on 14 Aug 2008, 13:00

It's made my UT Starcomm. It just happens to use the same chargers as some of the earlier LG phones ( Chocolate 8550, original enV, 8700, etc. ).

THAT NEW BOULDER IS HOT. THE ADVENTURE IS ALSO BUT I'M NOT A MOTO FAN. I THINK THAT ORANGE/BLACK COLOR MAY BE ONE OF THE BEST COLORWAYS I'VE EVER SEEN FOR A PHONE. NOT TO MENTION IT'S SMALLER THAN THE GZ'ONE.

You must not have read what I posted I said that I have see them both demoed, and verizon's old ptt service was faster than ready link, my experience wit ready link it was like damn near a 10 second delay.
