G'Zone Review

I have owned a Verizon G'Zone for a couple of weeks. I am somewhat disappointed. Here's why:
1. The electronic compass function is removed, perhaps to encourage paying for the GPS service
2. No cable availabe to connect the phone to a computer (although Verizon had a cable to transfer my contacts from one phone to the new G'Zone). So, to use pictures, you have to email them to yourself.
3. You cannot batch pictures, each one must be emailed separately, at a "per-email" cost.
4. Voice Command totally useless. I have a clear, non accented voice. I just doesn't work, and I've heard that from other users as well.
5. The optional (at extra cost) clip/holster is made nicely, but for small belts. Most people doing outdoor work have heavy duty belts (cops, construction, hikers, etc.) and the clip won't fit.

not impressed either

i have had mine for almost two months now, and the battery life on it sucks, i have horrible reception and half the time i talk into it the person on the other side of the conversation can't hear me. has any one had a problem like this or am i just crazy? my friends all have verizon, and they always have at least 2 bars of service more than i do. it is ridiculous!!!!!!!

GZone V

I love the ruggedness of this phone because I cycle and hike a lot! What I don't like is that the ring tones are not loud enough,voice command option does not work!!! And skimpy on the accessories that come with the phone!! Casio, you better give a recall on these functions that don't work!!!!

BROKEN CALLER ID/HISTORY!!!

This phone started off really Great, in October of 2009, but then it started to freeze up in January of 2010 (Not functioning/receiving calls). I took it to the local IT&E store, and they simply reset the phone. It worked for 1 one, but when I was on the phone and I was receiving an incoming call or text, the phone screen would show snowy lines and distort. Now 2 weeks later, the phone is in the shop again, but it just cannot show the call history or even identify any of the incoming callers. This is no longer a phone; it's a really expensive clock!
