Verizon announces CASIO G’zOne Rock, sports some cool software
Share this page:
For all of you, who don’t know what “to play it safe” means, Verizon has just announced the successor to the G’zOne Boulder, the CASIO G’zOne Rock C731. The new phone sports a 2MP camera, stereo Bluetooth and EV-DO Rev. A support, but most importantly, it conforms to the MIL-STD-810F ruggedness standard that gives it resistance to water, humidity, shock, vibration, dust, solar radiation, salt fog and altitude, as well as high and low temperature storage. As you see, it can’t withstand your mother-in-law’s criticisms, but then again, who can? However, another interesting thing about the Rock is that it will come with some kind of a special software package, called G’zGear. Basically, it consists of six applications, the names of which pretty much speak for themselves: Earth Compass, Walking Counter, Thermometer, Astro Calendar, Sunrise Sunset, Tides. Sounds nice.
You will be able to purchase the CASIO G’zOne Rock C731, starting November 20, at a price of $199 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate. Does the G’zOne Rock sound like a better deal than the rugged Motorola Barrage that’s currently available on Big Red?

got the dummy units and live unit in today, this phone is a piecer. it feels so cheap, not to mention that it flips open with so much force that the phone will fly out of your hand the first time you open it. Ill be passing on this unit and selling the Convoy......

lol, I really wish I can get this phone but it has numeric pads which drives me mad and I want a smart phone too. :D I got an Otterbox Defender case for my iPhone as it is good enough.
