I think this phone is a great phone for construction workers, very sturdy is the whole line of G'zOnes, my hubby has had just about everyone of them & has ;loved them all, my husband is a painter, it is also a wonderful phone for 1st timers going from flip phones to smart phones as it is very easy to use, it does most things up to date smart phones do, keep in mind, it will take some getting use to the way the smart phones work, my hubby had the basics down in a few days & he doesn't do computers. I paid $55 for this phone with shipping, so great value there. Battery life is normal for a regular battery, he has been use to extended batteries so he doesn't like the battery life, extended batteries & back door are costly for this phone, however I bought him a charge & talk to solve the battery life problem.Read full review

I purchased 2 of these phones. One for me and the other for my husband. We are both heavy wheel mechanics and lets just say we are not the friendliest phone people. We had both cracked our screens on the Iphones we had. He had his replaced, but I had enough. I wanted a mechanic proof phone. And thats exactly what I got. And thats it....the operating system is to be desired, the battery life sucks, and my husband phone freezes every day. And oh my gosh do not let it get near any metal shavings!!! I can tolerate my phone for awhile longer. But hes going back to his Iphone.

The phone is solid and performs well. It fits well in a shirt pocket and you do not need to purchase an additional protective case because of its rugged design. 16 GB internal memory and the option to insert a 32 GB micro card is more than adequate capacity. I transitioned from the nearly indestructable Blackberry Curve and Bold to the C811 for a bigger screen that I could read without my glasses. This is a great phone for people who work in the field and are exposed to the elements. I have purchased two additional batteries so that I can quickly swap a depleted battery for a full charge and not have to worry about connecting to a charging unit. I've read reviews complaining about the lower resolution screen but I have no problem with it. The camera is more than adequate and I get a kick out of how the pone includes the barometric pressure and temperature in the photo's details. The Gz'One software programs included are also pretty cool. If you want a durable, practical outdoor phone this is a great choice.Read full review

If you are a person that lives in the ruff and tumble physical world using phone calls, texts, with the occasional need for online access, and you're not tethered to technology to get through your day, then this phone should serve your needs. There is no question it will handle mishaps and abuse, I dropped mine in a cup of coffee this morning. But if you need to email, twitter, facebook, and surf the internet all day long, then you should look at something more suited to efficiently do those activities, with a longer battery life. The only downside for me is that it really needs a charging dock / cradle, which does not seem to be available for the 811. I'll probably fabricate something.

Battery life is short. Easy to navigate. Great small size easy to hold. Contact list is a little annoying. When you search, it doesn't populate all of that contacts phone numbers like every other phone I have had. Overall, it works well and is easy to use.
