“The original G'zOne was the Chuck Norris of cell phones: Able to stay fully submersed in liquid for up to a half hour, unaffected by exposure to solar radiation, held together with enormous steel screws. How do you improve on that? By giving it an extreme makeover! The Type-S ditches the Mad Max design of its predecessor in favor of a sleek blue frame and thoughtfully placed controls. The phone is still wicked tough, working perfectly after being tossed in a pool for twenty minutes and then violently thrown down a flight of concrete stairs.WIRED Can take a licking like some space-age Timex. Surprisingly light at 4.6 ounces. Speakerphone and Push-To-Talk functionality.TIRED No Bluetooth data transfers. And what's with the dinky 640x480 camera resolution? Monochrome external LCD is bleak and boring. Baffling lack of MP3 functionality and multimedia features-shouldn't there be one gadget that can survive the apocalypse and play Loverboy songs?”

I have a GZ1. I bought it for the longevity factor, as well as the all weather features. The phone worked well until 1 month after the warranty expired, and then it would not turn on. The Verizon sign kept flashing. The Verizon store said it was fried. and that it happened often. I asked them to ...
