Casio G'zOne Commando C771 (rugged Android smartphone) prerelease thread

[t1mmer]

any new info on this phone? i'm still rocking my boulder. i like the idea of a smart phone but looking at all the chips and scratches in the paint makes me realize i need a rugged phone...this seems like it's exactly what i'm looking for.

Expect it to be underpowered. Think vortex.(Note:Pure conjecture)

i missed so many calls because i never kept it on me. it's nice to not have to worry about your phone getting broke when your on the job. however i do miss all the capabilities of a smartphone. my g'zone rock is rather boring other than its ruggedness.

i've been going back and forth for a couple months now and whether or not to go back to a smartphone. i've been really interested in the android OS since it came out. i really like the droid x and droid pro. but as i said earlier, i'm afraid to have that style phone because of my job. it seems like the new g'zone C771 may be exactly what i've been looking for. i just hope its free of bugs since some of the g'zone phones have a reputation of being buggy. i also hope they dont short change it on features.

Dang, you'd think there would be some more info on it if its being released so soon.

Sooooooo, 4/7 may not be the date we thought it was?

[XRAM]

Not a peep about it. May just have to go TB if I don't hear anything soon.

That date came from a Verizon document but you know Verizon, sometimes those documents are way off.

I recently played with one of these. Nothing special other than being rugged.

[Rhinopkc]

When you say nothing special, do you mean it was a poor performer compared to the other 3g Verizon phones?
