Casio G'zOne Type-V

i went to stores on monday. not there. so i had it next-dayed to me. i now have it.

now i'm not a phone gadget person. i have a laptop with national/broadband access, iTunes, Garmin GPS, email, browser, the works. and a inverter in both my cars. so my laptop does the heavy lifting and my phones are used for talking.

i have a nextel account too. i have a motorola i710. with the extended battery. the gzone is about the same size. not as thick. a tiny bit taller. although it would be a bit shorter if you removed the bumper (easy i assume with a torx screwdriver). i replaced an LG vx3300 (i think thats what it was). a bare bones phone that is pretty small. btw, for what it was, it was a great phone..

i like the phone. does everything i need plus stuff i dont need. takes pics, takes videos (15 seconds). easier to send email on. bigger screen. i would have preferred a black phone. i would have preferred it to be smaller. i could care less about bluetooth and music (I have a tiny itunes unit for that). its solid. seems to be very well made. probably the best made phone (it seems) that i have ever had. and i have cell service since it was available, day one in Atlanta.

if you have to have the best bling phone, this may not be it. not ultra thin, no bluetooth, no tunes. but if you want a tough phone that is a tad larger than normal, i recommend it.
