 Literally the best phone EVER! If you broke your previous one, that is . . . March 6, 2008
I had the Razor from Motorola. After only a few months, the buttons started to slow down their responsiveness and then one day, I accidentally broke it. As it turns out, breaking my last phone was the best thing to happen to me (especially because razors suck) because the Casio G'z One is just beyond my expectations.
To be honest, I've already been spoiled with more advanced cell phones in Japan, but that's why I know for a fact that this phone is one of the very few (including the iPhone) in the North American market that actually can compete in superiority to Japanese phones (trust me, Japanese phones are hot . . . I mean they had one-on-one video confference capabilities on their phones for more than five years now. Oh yeah, and received calls are always free).
Anyway, this phone is absolutely the best. I don't need to mention that not only is it shock resistant, but also water resistant. That doesn't mean it's water-proof, but it adds a whole new feeling of security when handling this phone in the rain.
Another thing I really need to emphasize is the brightness of the LED on the front of the camera. It is extremely bright, so much so that it's just as useful as a flashlight and it has saved me so many times at this point. You can close the camera but still use the LED in the front (which is right beside the camera lense) so it really comes in handy whereever whenever you need light.
And last but not least, the color LCD screen. The picture quality is superb, which is something that I haven't seen other makers beat yet (except for the iPhone, of course). Well, that's 'cause Casio's a Japanese company. Go figure.
The only thing that sucks is that at the time it cost me 299 dollars to buy this thing (just before the iPhone came out). But, I have to say it was worth it; my G'z One is working just as well as it did when I first bought it, and I ain't lying.
Just beware of the bulkiness. I have to use an external cell-phone holder to carry this around.
 Functional Phone November 25, 2007
A cellphone for an active blue-collar guy like me must be, first and foremost, functional. It can't be fragile or too small. I was initially excited to hear about the features of the G'zOne and its practicality. However, I'm disappointed in the phone's multi-functional navigational keys and alphanumeric keypad. The buttons should be more pronounced or raised to accomodate the thicker fingertips of a man's hand. It has been a nuisance hitting the wrong button each time. In addition, I prefer a phone that has a 24-hour digital clock as opposed to a AM/PM one.
Good, solid phone November 20, 2007

Well, I just got this phone today and have gone through just about everything, made some calls, sent some texts and it seems like a very sturdy phone (which it's supposed to be). I should preface by saying I have verizon service, so where I am the signal strength is great. The call quality is good, I like the displays--Menus are easy to navigate and are the same as on my past phone, the Razor. It is a larger phone, but honestly not too much larger than most clamshell designs. What makes it appear bigger are the antenna sticking out and the protective guard. I don't care so much about size, I just wanted a nice, functional, durable phone and that's what I got. No bluetooth, but I don't need that anyways. Not many ringtones, wallpapers, but really don't care. Camera seems fine, with flash but I don't take many pictures with my phone. Overall, just a meat and potatoes type phone for somebody who wants great functionality and durability.

I like:
It's waterproof and unattractive to the masses. Who cares? I can ride my bike in the rain with no worries about a cell phone. If it falls, no worries. I like it, unlike most electronic devices, I don't have to baby it. It's big, easy to do that 'shoulder-to-ear' thing, and fits in my hand like a proper telephone. Alot of people don't like big, but think about how big your razr is when you put a case with a clip on it and think about it again, it really isn't that big.
I dislike:
Speaker sounds a bit muffled, but through months of use it hasn't really bothered me. The menu system is a bit muddled, and most things are geared for people using the internet stuff, but I just got it because it's a phone.
Conclusion:
It's good. If you can handle slight imperfections, it is worth the price. Mind you, the price I paid was 100 dollars, and even that felt expensive to me. I feel it was a sound investment, and hope to use it for many years to come.

If you want a durable phone to take punishment in any weather or conditions, this is it. Weighing in at 5.3 ounces, this isn't light or slim. It is the G-shock of phones.
A major drawback is no blue tooth capability. The buttons are responsive to pushing and the layout is similar to the LG line of phones. It has the capability to use a wired headset and the speakerphone option is available. Sounds are clear and a few decent ringtones are available. The speakerphone is loud and clear.
Another big draw is the flash and 2 MP phone. The display is clear and bright. Many of the standard Verizon features can be used (i.e. texting, internet, video, get it now, etc).
Aside from lacking the Bluetooth capability, it doesn't get any better than this.
