$249.99 for a two year contract on vzw.com. For that price, no thanks.

Ya that pricing is a bit out there. Besides, how many construction workers do you see needing to have a full keyboard while on the jobsite? Maybe one and he is the foreman who probably has a Blackberry or Laptop. Price needs to drop fast. http://www.cellphonewars.blogs

I like the idea of a rugged messenger phone, but feel it's over priced. I think a better price point is $150. You can buy a waterproof cell case for $25 and make any phone waterproof and shock resistant.

And unlimited data cost $30, unreal. The price will drop soon, doubt the data requirement will

I remember everyone complaining about the $15 Vpak unlimited data. Ha it seems like great option in comparison.

I have been saying all along it is overpriced. $150 is the price point for a phone like this. And Verizon has been doing so much better w/ phone prices lately. I think this may actually be the most expensive phone they have now.

Sprint did this with the Instinct HD, took almost 6 months to bring the price down. Verizon is a lot better on subsidies so I doubt it be that price for long

All of the G'zOne phones are priced high. Why? Because they're supposed to be able to get their ass handed to them and still keep ticking. It's worth it for the construction workers and such who don't usually have to pay full retail price when their phone gets hit, dropped on concrete or in water. However, for the rest of us: if you're going to spend over 200 dollars for a Verizon phone, just get the DROID. Much cooler phone, and the Corning made Gorilla glass and metal construction makes it a lot tougher than any smartphone has a right to be.

Does not require the $9.99 data if you put $5 unlimited PTT on the plan.

This has to be clarified becasue the current ptt phones, which also fall in the 3G MM class don't require ptt or data. I doubt this will skate the requirement

Already been clarified and $5 ptt works and data then $1.99. Sold out of my first order already on Friday.

Nothing about this is clear, online it doesn't say either/or and ui'm reading hit and miss with telesales.

Blackberry Curve and an Otterbox will do the trick too, if customers don't mind paying the extra $30/mo. I'd like to see this drop in price by $50-100, but we'll see. If customers pay, there's no reason to lower the price.

the Gzone rock is $199.99 so that one would have to drop first for this phone to drop.

I called this a month ago. I knew it would require data, but everyone gave me a negative and said I didn't know what I am talking about. Who was right? I was... but maybe they will substitute that requirement with PTT plans instead if it won't sell.

The $5 PTT is one of the 3 options from the get go. Not everyone will sell it at such a high price as well. Find a good local agent. G

$250 bucks is that really big money for yall? What a bunch of broke ass people. Do you all have $19 watches too? This is a quality phone. Nice stuff costs money. Get real jobs and quit whining! BTW, this is an fantastic phone -- worth twice that!
