Casio G'zOne Ravine: The Phone that Survives It All

The rugged Casio G'zOne Ravine phone has undergone rigorous military testing, so the stresses and strains of life—like your everyday, run-of-the-mill immersion, blowing rain, shock, sand/dust, vibration, salt fog, humidity, solar radiation, low pressure, high & low temps—won't phase it at all.

Phone/Display

Don't drop everything just because you have to make a call—open and talk on the Casio G'zOne Ravine with one touch. And with noise cancellation, you won't miss a word of your conversation on the job site or in the jungle. The 2.20", 240×320, 65K, TFT LCD screen makes it easy for you to see who's calling in, say, a dense salt fog.

Messaging, Data, and Camera

Threaded texts keeps your SMS, EMS and MMS messages organized for easy access. Enjoy V CAST Video and music—you can store up to 322 GB of media files. The 3.2 megapixel camera has an LED flash and video capabilities.

Fun Stuff

The Casio G'zOne Ravine has a triple sensor for G'zGear that acts as a pedometer, compass, and thermometer to keep you informed of your level of ruggedness at all times. The VZ Navigator capability provides audible maps, turn-by-turn directions, and the ability to share location information for more than 14 million points of interest. Truly a phone for the adventurers among us. Price: $199.99 on Verizon.

It looks like the old Samsung A300 on steroids.

I've stopped packing mine due to breakage. I can't keep a cell phone whole for more then 4 months!

Dan said...

I'd hope the light isn't bright enough for enemies to spot and blow us up!

Evan said...

looks cool, but how much will it cost?

Beatrice said...

I have the G'zOne Boulder and I can tell ya, these things are built like tanks. I skip mine across ponds, kick it around, throw it at people, talk on it in the shower, and it still works like the day I got it.

Tony said...

wow, thats cool, phone meant for really physical/outdoorsy or clumsy people. Its also wishtime on the phone. I wish i could get it for a good price lol!

You'd think with extensive military testing they would have picked a different color. Black tends to blend in too much and just hide. And cell phones wouldn't be as prone to breaking from a drop if they invested in flexible displays and more durable plastics.

I've got one of the earlier versions of this from Verizon Wireless. It has served me well; especially when it was thrown across the room.

I have had this phone for 2 years now. i drop it EVERY day on hard concrete just for fun. ive even lost it in a tub of pluming ABS cement glue and it didnt even mess up the coating on the phone. the battery died after 2 years but the phone keeps working with a new one. Also this thing has a fucking flash light that's Brighter then some light bulbs.
