Verizon G’zOne Boulder gets torture tested, er, "reviewed"
Filed under: Handsets, Verizon Wireless, EV-DO, CDMA, Casio
Casio’s G′zOne Boulder doesn′t do much, but what it does do, it does anywhere, anytime and under (almost) any circumstances. After launching a few weeks back on Verizon, the ultra-rugged handset has been reviewed over at CNET, and needless to say, it managed to handle a few dips in the pool and a couple close encounters with a wall with nary an issue. Unfortunately, the phone faltered at handling its most important task: making calls. Call quality in San Francisco was said to be “hugely disappointing,” with most calls sounding “crackly” with a dash of “static and echo″ for good measure. The extra features (camera, multimedia player, V Cast, etc.) were all decent, but nothing truly stood out as phenomenal. Overall, the Boulder is probably only a safe bet if you′re dead set on the design and toughness, but even still, we’d try out a few other hardcore handsets before settling on one with lackluster call quality.
