UTStarcom G'zOne Type-S (black/silver, Verizon Wireless)

Pros: Extremely Durable

Cons: a little heavy

Summary: Great phone all the way around, don't listen to all these negatives. I love this phone. The day I got it I was floating it in the sink and showering with it. My wife thought I was nuts when I first dunked it in the water but now is a believer! It's a little heavy but so what?? It's tough looking and extremely rugged, what guy wouldn't like it?? The OS is fast and useful and has all the tools I need on it. I don't have a use for blue tooth (I'd rather use speakerphone that one of those cyborg looking earpieces) or uploading/downloading a bunch of nonsense. I have a laptop and video iPod for that stuff. I don't need a crackberry (I leave work AT the office). I use it to TALK, TEXT and take little pictures of my wife acting goofy (I have a high-end SLR camera for real pictures). The best part about this phone is I can beat the He&& out of it and it still works! That's all I care about, I've gone through too many phones to care about all those little features in other high-tech phones. I lost 2 to the rain and 2 more to one to many drops on the pavement. Lost another to the flip top "flipping" off and the mfg didn't cover it under warranty. Now I'm finally HAPPY with a phone that's tough enough for ME. woohoo!
