I love this phone. The swivel head makes taking pictures a snap! lol. Though the battery life leaves something to be desired (about a day and a half on medium usage and a bit less that a day with heavy usage), but the phone seems to charge fast. I love the camera and how clear the images are. The only thing I don't like about the camera is that you can't edit the pictures after they're taken. You can't rotate, add things to the image, or add a filter to the image. Also, trying to send picture messages when one's image quality is set to fine causes my phone to glitch. Not sure if this will apply to all of these phones, but each one is different. The mic's placement can be annoying, seeing as its placed just beneath the screen, but I've never had trouble with people hearing me talk. This phone is reliable and sturdy. The waterproof feature seems to hold true. The advertisement of it being able to survive a drop in a bucket of water remains unproven by myself but I've gotten water on the phone and it works just fine. Clumsy? This phone has survived multiple stair falls, counter to floor falls, and drop-pick up-redrop- pick up events. If you want a phone built to last that still looks sleek, this will satisfy. I love my phone! Flip phones aren't for everyone, but if you want a phone that doesn't require a data plan to work, enjoy taking pictures, and is simple to use, this might be the phone for you.Read full review
The phone is really rugged. In my engineering class I placed it in a bowl of water. We then called my phone and it still worked! I've thrown it across my room to prove how strong it is. It's INDESTRUCTIBLE! There are barely any scratches on it! There is one flaw: the software. Why does verizon contract Casio to build indestructible phones, yet program it with terrible software? The network speed is incredible. It downloads media faster than any phone I've used. However for a messaging phone the processing is weak. Sometimes when I get into texting the phone will shut off when messaging too much. To fix this all I do is turn the phone off for a few minutes. When I turn it back on, it always works perfectly for several hours. Likewise, because it is waterproof it means that nothing gets in or out. When you put that much padding on a phone some sound will be compromised. Granted Casio compensated by putting in one of the loudest and highest quality speakers I've ever heard in a cell phone, however the microphone is difficult to work with. You have to absolutely make sure the microphone is level with the corner of your mouth. Otherwise they cant hear you. Once you figure out how to talk into it, its is incredibly easy to use and truly an amazing phone. The only "real" problem is with the texting. However, this phone has been out for a while now, so soon Verizon should be releasing a software update for the phone which will hopefully fix the occasional text overload the phone can get. This is a great phone and I'll never buy another!Read full review
With everyone jumping on the smartphone bandwagon, great devices like this are being discontinued. That's a shame because this device does everything I need in one small and water resistant package. That's important as I've wrecked three phones and a camera over the years while boating, fishing, skiing and duck hunting. From now on if it's not water resistant it is off my shopping list. As a phone it's a basic flip phone. I like that form factor so I have nothing to complain about. But it really shines as a camera. It has the best camera on a phone that I am familiar with in the US market. 5 Mpixel, flash and optical zoom... on a phone! Outdoors it takes great pictures and since, being my phone, I always have it with me I can get shots that I'd miss otherwise. Indoors, not so great because the flash isn't as powerful as a "real" camera. I mean, it beats any other cell phone camera I've used but it won't replace a dedicated camera for quality indoor portraits. And it's best if you ignore its video recording feature. Very low res and low frame rate. Kinda like a 1990s webcam. Just pretend it doesn't exist and you'll avoid disappointment. But for outdoor still photos, it's a champ. It's serviceable as an MP3 player though you'll have to buy a third party audio plug adaptor. The one that comes with the phone isn't stereo. It's intended for an ear piece and therefore only mono. And it's serviceable as a handheld GPS if you subscribe to VZ Navigator. My one complaint is that VZ Navigator is really only suitable if you stick to the roads. You can't input or read actual Lat/Long coordinates. A bit of a problem for outdoorsmen. But that's a complaint about the service not the device. In summary, a decent phone/camera/GPS/MP3 all-in-one device that's water resistant and doesn't require a data plan. Its strengths aren't any particular technical feature. In fact if you compare it feature for feature with dedicated devices you'll probably be disappointed. Its strength is that you have all these features in a single, compact, water resistant device that you'll never be without.Read full review
This is the third phone Ive purchased. Still love the clam shell style! This phone takes really nice pictures and is easy to use. Have had trouble in the past with the charging port, hence just buying a new phone. The time on the outside of phone is very small, unfortunetly there's no way to make it larger. Comfortable to hold. Battery life not so great if your a talker and phone does tend to get hot. Overall, I just hope they keep making this phone, I may never use another !:)
This is the best phone I have ever owned, and it truly is water proof. One night when I was very tired I unknowingly dropped it in my glass of water on my night stand. When I awoke in the morning to find it completely submerged I thought it was finished, much to my surprise it worked perfectly even after sitting in water for at least 7 hours. I also enjoy the camera features and the flash light feature has helped me out in the dark several times. Very durable, easy to use. Overall a very nice phone.
