I know the Verizon GZ series is known for its ruggedness, but I really son't see a smart phone - even though its a GZ - being that good of a phone. Not because of the operating system, Droid 2.2 is a good operating system, I just wouldn't think its to reliable in extreme conditions. If you're set on a smart phone, and this has great reviews and its as reliable as the other GZ phones, then I would get it.

It has good reviews on the rugedness and water proofing im not familiar with the operating system or any system ..

 

i am a touch tone person moving up..

I'm still touch tone, but with a full keyboard. If it has good reviews, and you want it then I see no reason why you shouldn't get it. If you're a little off about it being reliable, then check youtube for reviews on the phone. People do some extreme things with their phones in the name of a good review. Thats how I made the decision to buy my rough use knife is because of some of the crazy things that I've seen people do with it on youtube.

I a GZ one for years and it's an animal or I'm the animal...who cares...

 

Tony if you get it let us know how it works out. How do you carry it? It doesn't have a clip ring.

 

I really need more capability.

Same situation, I'm rough on a phone, around the water, I drop stuff...LOL

cool promotional vid..

 

 

geez gear.

Tony we have the same phones ( 4 years now )and I was looking at this one too. I do not need a smart phone but it may be my only choice.

were being outdated..

I have one for about 4 months now. My first smart phone and it is good. It's perfect for people who work outdoors in all kinds of weather.

Thanks thats the info im looking for..

I also have the older Gzone. I was looking at the newer one.

 

How is the battery life on the new one? The old one is great. I usually charge it once a week but I don't make many calls.

I'm in the same boat as Tim and you, Tony. I drop my phone at least once every two days so a smart phone has to be rugged. I want to play with yours before I buy it.

The battery is OK. Remember it's a smart phone so it gets used a bunch more then my old phone. I would say with heavy use you can squeak out 7 hrs on it. Not bad .Used just as a phone without surfing and texting and email heavily you will get more then 8 hrs off it.

As far as using it goes .It's a droid system so I suppose any droid will work the same. The phone is dead on clarity wise when talking the best I've had yet.

If I had one complaint it would be the texting. It has the tendency to change words on it's own. If you dont proof read before sending it will make you appear like you speak gibberish or Ebonics.LOL

I've still got an Iphone 3GS in an Otterbox...I want the G'zOne Commando...

I have been trying to drag Tim into the new century.

Right here is my biggest concern. I started out charging mine once every 8 days. Now after 4yrs I am down to once every 3 days with daily use. I like to go kayaking for a weekend and not have my battery dies after a day of use.

 

I like my century Joe, phones are used to make calls on and guns are made of wood and blued metal.

No Tim guns are made of stainless and Sc.
