Casio G’zOne

What we found is that the G’zOne Type-S lives up to its hype on standing against the elements and also had some nice surprises we were not expecting.

This phone includes an electronic compass, clock, stop watch, and an external screen. Available in three delightful colors, the G'zOne isn't available here and never will be. Cry, Mr. Flannel-Shirt-EMS-Cargo-Pants-Man, cry and kayak your way down to that cool little rock climbing spot. Cry


The Casio G’zOne also includes a 2.0 Megapixel camera, capable of taking still shots as well as 15-second FLIX videos. You can send and receive these pictures and videos with the PIX and FLIX option.
