Customer Reviews:

Do NOT BUY!!!! [Posted on 2008-12-02]
I just read through the bad things about this phone and they're ALL right. HORRIBLE sound and CRAPPY design. Casio should maybe stick to wearing watches,but after my experience with this phonee that I can barely hear most people on and the input jack is a pain in the A** to plug in, AND NOW ITS BROKE COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!! AND I HAVE NO WARRANTY!!!, I don't even think I'd buy a watch from these jackasses. Sorry, I'm pissed, DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!! I can't tell youwhat you SHOULD buy, just not this. If you don't believe me,and you goahead and buy it any way... I wish you the best of luck and...I told ya so.

ps. Oh yeah LOL, the compass??? forget about it. You might as well use a pine needle inside a canteen cap with water as a natural compass, this hting is HORRIBLE.

Not all its Cracked up to be.... [Posted on 2008-12-15]
If you want a phone for its progressive looks, then this might be your phone. If you work outdoors, you will be sorely dissapointed.
I work outdoor construction. Frail, dainty flip phones designed for 14 year old jr. High girls who want a phone to text message every waking hour won't cut it for me. The Boulder, by comparison to other phones, such as the Kyocera KX444 (now discontinued) are huge. The Casio has a tinny sounding ear speaker. The rear mounted "Loud Speaker" is even worse. Forget trying to listen to either with any level of surrounding noise is present. Then there's the poorly designed power cord port. This is by far the worst engineering joke. Unlike the Kyocera, that has a quick connect "jack style" port. the Casio's resembles a tiny USB port. Plan on its failure early on in your ownership experience.
Unfortunately, Verizon does not offer a good quality construction grade phone. My suggestion to you would be to try to find a Kyocera KX444 on ebay, or...... go to Sprint

Now a good phone: new software fixes sound quality, battery life [Posted on 2008-12-17]
Verizon broke Casio's phone, but has finally fixed it. A free upgrade to software version 09 or later fixes both the terrible sound quality and the dismal battery life that made this phone infamous. This phone is now much more like its predecessor, the Gzone Type S, but with a better camera

To confirm you have the new software, go to the "Settings & Tools" menu, then "9. Phone Info", then "SW/HW Version", then "Software Version". The last 3 digits should be M09 (or later). You can also check the outside of the box to see if it already has this version--look at the last barcode on the Proof of Purchase sticker.

If you have a Boulder with obsolete software, you must go to a Verizon store (or a very good reseller) and have them perform the upgrade. The upgrade is too big to be distributed over the air. The Boulder I received in December 2008 arrived with the M09 firmware.

This is Verizon's third rugged Gzone phone. They're bigger than most cellphones, but you can actually take it with you in the rain, skiing, hiking, or rafting. Compared to the preceding "Type S" model, this phone is significantly lighter--it feels less sturdy, but in reality the plastic case is probably almost as strong as the Type S metal case. The Boulder also lacks the antenna loop on top that made it easy to attach to a backpack or belt loop.

Based on a week of use, the Boulder's plastic case is much easier to scratch than its predecessors--it's not nearly as fragile as an iPod, but not as indestructible as an all-terrain phone like this should be.

This is a great phone if you don't want to pay Verizon $15+/month to watch video or browse the web. I like the sturdy waterproof design that I can take with me, instead of having to give white-glove treatment to a typical fragile phone. (My last phone, from Motorola, died after getting four feet from a hot tub, even without any water touching it.)

My Boulder battery lasted for four days of moderate use, with EVDO turned off. (To learn how to do this, check out the Howard Forums.) With the software update, this is a good rugged phone for folks who don't want a fragile gadget.
