Casio G' G'zOne ravine 2 - no camera (Verizon Wireless)

The good: The Casio G' G'zOne ravine 2 has a permanent building should withstand a lot of abuse. Call quality is admirable, and the navigation controls are spacious and easy to use.

The bad: The Gorge-2 has a 2.5 mm headset jack and the photo quality is subpar.

The bottom line: The Casio-G' G'zOne Casio continues long tradition of ultrarugged phones with the bonus of improved quality.

Editors Note: Although we read the Canyon-2 with a camera, comes the handset without a shooter. This is the only difference between the two models.

If Casio are the phones for something known, it is their extreme durability. And in this context of the new G' G'zOne ravine 2 keeps the company standard. Like the original Gorge, the commandand the other G' G'zOne models before them should withstand the gorge just about every physical conditions, and offers at the same time a mid-range feature set that contains the roaming world, 3 g support and push-to-talk (PTT). Sure, the design is extensive and still disappointing photo quality but quality on Verizon Wireless is his, that improves earlier handsets.

Design
It would be difficult to confuse the Gorge 2 for any other mobile phone. It is large (4.33 inches long from 1.99 cm wide x 0.83 cm deep) and hard (4.85 ounces), and it sports features as a ribbed hinge and a ring to the external display. It is far from right, but that is not really the point of a durable phone. And if you don't know that it was a Verizon device, the black and red color scheme is you this.

The thick plastic skin stands also, especially, if you jump in the Gorge-2 from a trendy thin handset are. The absence of sidings was all rubber surprisingly, but the Canyon has a solid, comfortable feeling that inspires confidence. And even with the additional bulk of the listener slips easily into larger bags.

Casio promises that the handset, shock, dust, vibration, salt fog, humidity, to withstand high and low temperatures and dipping in water can. Casio has claims on its websitethat displays most of them to keep a handy list of this durability. We gave the Gorge 2 bath, put it in the freezer, it dropped on a hard surface, and in general it turned (now I need to find only a few salt fog). In any case it survives and stopped ticking. The moving parts, such as the oversized ribbed hinges, are built to last.


The Gorge thick skin and sturdy hinge contribute to longevity.

1.38-External LCD monitor shows the usual information, including date, time, signal strength, and caller ID. The display is full color, and, although we prefer basic functions to access, without to open the phone.

The camera lens and Flash are on the back of the phone, but there are no mirrors for vanity shots. The rear cover is secured by a safety device to protect against moisture and dust, but it's still easy to remove. Fortunately, the MicroSD card slot on the right spine just below imposing micro-USB connector is located. Both have lock covers, as you'd expect on a permanent device. Are voice on the left spine a bright red PTT/shortcut key (which you can program), the volume rocker and the command key. All are easy to find, if you keep the Gorge 2 to your ear feel. On the other hand, the headset jack is only 2.5 mm, so you must use an adapter for most headphones.


The Gorge-2 is so hard, nor can it a bath.

The internal TFT display measures 2.2 inch 320 x 240 pixels with a resolution of full color. As you would expect, it is nowhere near close to a fancy Smartphone display, but it doesn't have to be. Colors are bright graphics look fine, and the standard menu designs (you can choose formats between grid and list) are easy to navigate. You have the usual set of options, such as changing the brightness, the lighting time, choose display theme and wallpaper, menu and font size, and the banner.

I could not questions for a better design for the navigation controls. It is a great silver toggle with a central OK button that you can program one - touch access to give four features. All around are two soft keys, a camera control and a combination shortcut for the handsfree and activation of the camera Flash as a steady light. In comparison with many phones that sets a useful set of keys, the the best features within easy reach.


The Gorge-2 keyboard keys have a comfortable, spacious design.

Further down, there are the usual talk and end/power keys and a clear button, which opens the GPS functions with holding down. The keyboard buttons below have a spacious tactile design. There is plenty of room for fast text, and you can choose. I liked the bright backlight and the large numbers and characters on the keys.

Functions
The Gorge is 2 main function call, if it is not without some productivity options. I will first start with the basics. The phone book contains 1,000 contacts with room in each entry for multiple fields. There is also a separate PTT phonebook that contains an additional 500 contacts; You can plug in with other Verizon PTT phones. Verizon Backup Assistant stores your contacts on the carrier servers for safe-keeping.
