Reviews of the Verizon G'zOne Boulder (black & silver)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The G'zOne Boulder is military-certified to withstand the elements, plus it has EV-DO Rev. A, a 1.3-megapixel camera, Push-to-Talk, an electronic compass, and support for V Cast Video, VZ Navigator, and V Cast Music with Rhapsody.
The Bad: Call quality was mediocre at best, with a lot of static and echo. The G'zOne Boulder may be bulky for some people, and the music player interface is a tad clunky.
The Bottom Line: The G'zOne Boulder is a beefy, rough-and-tumble cell phone with a rich suite of multimedia features beneath its tough exterior, but we were ultimately disappointed with the call quality.
