Customer Reviews:

Don't jump on the bandwagon just yet, it's a good phone. [Posted on 2008-09-22]
I ordered my orange Boulder G Z One from Verizon after extending my contract, paying 29.95 for the phone. I read a lot of reviews about the phone, most being negative. Being a skeptic of other peoples opinions, intelligance often sheep mentality, I decided to try it out myself. I have been using an original G Z One V type for over two years, so my review is basically in comparison to that phone. Durability- there is no question that the Type V is a more durable phone. It feels heavy, it is large,basically bombproof. The Boulder on the other hand feels similar to any standard cell phone. I assume they did testing on it's case, but I am not as likely to throw it against the wall like I have with my Type V. (Just to show it off). LOL.. The camera is a 1.3 mp, not a 2.0 mp, which is a downgrade from most phones, but not really that big of a deal. It does have a great video camera,- with the ability to record lenghty videos, I think based on how much expandable memory you have availible. I have a micro SD card with 512 mb, and I recently recorded over 12 minutes of video just to test it out. I actually turned it off cause I had to take a call. Who knows how much video this phone can take??? I do feel that the apeture to let light in on the Boulder is a bit small, pics seem to be a bit dark compared to the Type V. As far as the sound quality, I can tell you that the speaker phone is poor, especially compared to the Type V. It can still be used as a speaker, but expect to hold the phone close to your ear, as the speaker phone volume is just low, no matter what you do. This, in turn also makes the ringer have a low volume, which at times can be a drag. Fortunatly, it DOES have Bluetooth, which the Type V did not, hence the reason I bought it in the first place. Using the phone in standard mode, (holding to the ear) position, it is just as good as any other cell I have used. Perhaps there has been a recent software upgrade?? I have had no problem having people on the other end hearing me. I do like the drop in charger, which is easy to use. The battery life is not that great. I am looking into an extended life battery, which will be a wothwhile purchase if I can find it. I really like the mini SD card feature. That is certainly an upgrade over the Type V. It has a music player, but as previously mentioned, the speaker is poor so you are better off using earphones like a walkman feature. (OK Im dating myself) ok ok- IPOD- is that better? It does have a PTT feature, but with the outside speaker being poor, I cancelled that part of my service. I like txting better anyway. As far as waterproofing, I have gotten mine wet several times and had no probs so far. I have also dropped mine hard, again, no probs.
Here is a list of pros and cons- IMO

G Z One Boulder- PROS
smaller, smoother, lighter (bascially standard size for a cell) fits in pocket w/o protruding antenna, ect.
has expandable memory mini SD card
has music player
has Bluetooth
has decent on board memory
has a failry accurate electronic compass
Orange phone has a good looking black keyboard (silver phone has silver keys- not as cool)
drop in charger is great
Flashlight feature is awesome
You can record LONG videos!!!, I think it is unlimited single video lenght, based on memory avalible (vrs. 15 seconds with most phones!)


CONS-
Battery life is not that great
no ability to transfer data from old phone (no "Backup Assistant" from Verizon)
Speaker phone is poor sound quailty and volume
push to talk (PTT) is a poor choice with this phone, ref- speaker phone issues

Overall I like my new orange Boulder phone. I had 30 days to decide to keep it or not, and I am going to keep it. I miss the tough, cool look of my trusty Type V, but the Bluetooth and size of this new phone are deciding factors for me.

This phone stinks [Posted on 2008-11-22]
It's just O.K. for a no frills phone. There are many cons to this phone such as the speaker. It sounds like you are listening to someone talk from inside a cargo container sunk to the bottom of a lake. The menu is easy to navigate and the buttons are o.k. However there is no way to lock the keypad, so it's very easy to accidently hit the push to talk button on the side and accidently call someone. To avoid accidently calling someone you have to drop down to a non PPT number and press the PPT button so the last number will not go through. I should not have to do this Casio. Another big con is the battery life is horrible. The battery lasts me about 8 hours with about 30 minutes of actual use, the rest is standby. Seems to be sorta rugged, I dropped it once and it still works, amazingly. Do yourself a favor and get another phone

Almost didn't but it...glad I did..... [Posted on 2008-11-29]
I did a lot of research before I bought this phone. The reviews are so bad and I don't think they do justice for this phone. After talking to people who have this phone or know someone who does, I dicided to try it.

It's a great phone. If you are looking for a great media phone keep looking. If you are looking for a really good phone then buy the G'zOne Boulder.

I had reception two floors down in a underground parking garage and the signal was still good. The phone is straghtforward. It's a phone and it performs well as a phone.

The other night I went to dinner with some friends. I put the phone on vibrate and dropped in my glass of water. Everyone was shocked. I had someone call it. The glass vibrated and the light on the phone lit up.

I pulled it out, dripping wet, and answered my phone. They were so impressed. I dropped it the other day, not on purtpose. Not a problem!!!

I am happy with my purchase and really happy with Verizon wireless.

No problems. Great phone [Posted on 2008-12-03]
Only had the phone a couple days but it sounds great. Whitewater kayaking and duck hunting ruined my last two (one each), and I plan on giving this one its share of hard work. Do not believe everything you hear about the sound quality, on any volume the phone sounds great. Speaker is also quite loud compared to my last (razor), and it just feels solid. Not cheap like some others I've owned (razor). You can update the software as soon as its activated, I imagine this fixed the problem.

Solid Phone [Posted on 2008-12-04]
Others who have reviewed this phone have said that the reception is terrible. That was not my experience at all. The sound from the earpiece is not perfect, but it is not garbled like others made it out to be. Like others have said, this phone is waterproof, so the sound you hear has to go through a waterproof membrane before it reaches your ear... I have heard a slight echo while using the phone; this echo does not persist all the time (I have only heard it during one phone call). Battery life has been average for me so far. I rated this phone as a 5 star because I think it will survive me for the 2-year Verizon contract.
If you want a slightly less rugged but better featured phone, go with the Motorola Adventure V750. If you're looking for a phone that can take a real beating and don't want to go with Nextel, get the G'zone Boulder from verizon.
