Casio's Rugged Brigade Marching to Verizon Later this Year

I had a customer tonight who I wanted to give this phone to.

Some spoiled 16 yo complaining that her fancy new touchscreen broke after two weeks, and "companies should make their phones stronger so I don't have to care." Force her to get this one to teach her some manners.

THis phone is going to be HUGE around here (lots of mountains/lakes/careless people)

It's not meant to be pretty. It's meant to be rugged. Hard to do both.

I've had a Casio Gzone Type-V for about 3 years now. It has always worked no matter what. Sound quality is great and buttons are easy to press. It's a phone that functions as a phone and doesn't break.

This new brigade does look quite exciting but I'm hesitant to get it without testing the call quality first after hearing about what happened with the Boulder.
