This video is a quick review and demonstration on the Casio G’zone Rock made exclusively for Verizon wireless. This is one of the best weather resistant outdoor cell phones out there! Since Youtube only gives you a 10 minute maximum video length, I just went over the G’z Gear features, MP3 player, quality of the raw cell phone videos, and an actual water resistant test. Overall, I think this is an excellent phone for the people who love the great outdoors and want some cool outdoor features, or for those of you who have dropped their cell phone on the ground, in the sink, or the toilet… yes, thats me!

The lightning quick PTT response times and EVDO speeds make the Boulder an excellent option for all-around outdoor use.
