The Casio G’zOne Brigade for Verizon Wireless is undeniably a beast of a phone. Built to Military Specifications 810F, the rugged G’zOne Brigade is dust, shock and water resistant. Beyond being suited for your next S.W.A.T team assault or a brutal assault from your toddler, the Brigade’s rugged exterior houses a number of advanced features to boot.
The device is armed with Push to Talk capabilities, a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash and auto-focus, a full HTML web browser, GPS with VZ Navigator, V CAST Music with Rhapsody and V CAST Video. While the G’zOne Brigade unfortunately only has a 2.5mm headphone jack (instead of a standard-size 3.55mm jack), the phone does support stereo Bluetooth for wireless listening.
The exterior of the handset is home to a numerical dialpad, shortcut and navigational buttons, and a 1.2-inch Mono PM-OLED display. Flipping the G’zOne Brigade open reveals a crisp 2.9-inch internal display and a full QWERTY keyboard that rivals that of most other phones on the market. If you often find yourself braving the wilderness on a moon-less night or merely scrambling to find your keys, you’ll be comforted to know that the camera’s flash can double as a bright flashlight at the touch of a button.

I have had this phone for nearly two years. I’ve terrorized this poor phone. It is determined not to quit. With the exception of a few cosmetic scratches it’s still as good as the day I bought it. I got mine through Verizon online for $79.99 with a 2year contract. It has been the most dependable phone I have ever owned.

We also dropped the phone like 3 feet onto the floor and both the inner and outer screens cracked. Verizon refuses to do anything about it because we didn’t buy the insurance and it is just “cosmetic” Some “ruggedized” phone. I guess that is what they tell military personnel when it happens to them too?

I called casio when my screen cracked from being ran over by my truck. they said send it in to them and gave me their address so they could fix it. All i had to do is pay shipping and handling.

My son got this phone from Verizon last week and dropped it a couple of feet onto a carpetted floor yesterday. Both the hinge and inner screen broke. I called both verizon and Casio and they both said that the warranty doesn’t cover the phone if it is dropped.

Do you carry this phone? ( the G-Z One Brigade)

I bought this phone and insured it so i could do a little field test of my own. I have dropped it in a cup of water and called it pulled it out and answered there was no damage and no water made it in to battery compartment. I have thrown it, kicked it and thrown it again and nothing but light cosmetic damage. The last test i did was tossed it out of my car at 30 mph still phone works fine but hinge broke on one side and battery cover isn’t as tight of a fit. But still i picked it up and called my buddy everything was fine. Even with one hing broken still opens and closes fine. If you need a phone that can take a real hit to break then this phone is the best chioce. Now i need to call insurance company and stop doing stupid test on this phone.
