Super-tough phones are no longer the exclusive provenance of Nextel. At UTStarcom's booth at CTIA this week, they were showing off the waterproof, ruggedized Casio GzOne, a monster of a tough-phone from Japan with a powerful speakerphone and 2-megapixel camera. The exciting part is that this was the GzOne "Type V" -- and V was seemingly for "Verizon Wireless," as the phone was running Verizon's customized user interface. UTStarcom, predictably, said nothing, but I'd like to see this phone appear on the Big V soon. It's like nothing else out there right now. See more shots of the GzOne in my photo blog at pcmag.com.
