Good phone insofar as it is very water resistant and tough. Bad in that won't hold a charge all day unless left on the charger all night despite phone saying to take off to conserve energy. Verizon service still an issue esp with transferring contacts, only about 1/2 made it over to this new phone and I'm still discovering ones I no longer have. Bad also insofar as the loudness. Even on low volume, is way too loud! Not sure I'd buy another one of the same model. I had the G'z One Rock before and wish I'd looked for another one of those or not switched over to this new phone as soon as I did. Good product tho for those who are not ready to go to a full "smart" phone, this one more military toughness grade, but it's size is bigger than the Rock, which I don't particularly care for (is this what is meant by a "small form factor"? I have no idea). Maybe it's just me, adapting to new phone but the whole contact transfer and backup assistant thing with Verizon is majorly screwed up! All in all, I have to say a good buy for anyone else. :)Read full review

I have had 2 of these phones over the past ten years. I loved the phone. Compact, long battery life, good features, and milspec waterproof. Unfortunately, verizon obsoleted the phone the week I purchased it and would not activate it. I had lost the previous handset. So, I did contact the seller and after a bit he agreed to accept it back, as it can't be used on verizon network.

I owned a Casio GZ type S for 5 years. It was a great phone until it stopped receiving or being able to place calls. Repair shop thought bad antenna but were unable to repair it. After research bought this GZ Ravine 2. Great phone so far except for battery life. My old phone would last me a week and this one about 3-4 days. If this one lasts like my old phone should be a good investment. I like the large contact book, large easy to read numbers, and good easy to understand speaker. I don't need or want all the other features but wanted a rugged phone. My phone gets dropped and exposed to moisture and dust when off road motorcycling and hiking. If you want a solid reliable phone that doesn't break when dropped then this phone is for you.
I bought this phone to replace my old LG Revere 2. I wanted a basic phone that I could use to text and make calls. Overall, the Casio is a pretty good phone that accomplishes that, despite a few strange design decisions. The brilliant: - The phone features a pedometer that counts your steps, calories burned, and even tracks your progress on a partially animated virtual tour. Since getting this phone, I've been more motivated to exercise. In my opinion, this is the phone's best feature. The good: - Sturdy construction - Stylish - Good call quality - There is no side camera button, which prevents taking accidental photos of the inside of my pocket. The bad: - Vibration on this phone is very long and loud. If you disable the exterior buttons, like I have, then there is no easy way to mute the vibration. Hence I often keep the phone on full silent unless I am outdoors. - The phone has no option for typing the first few characters of someone's name to find them in your address book. I don't know how common this feature is on other phones, but my LG Revere 2 had it, and I used it quite often. - For some reason, when customizing the shortcuts, the phone doesn't give the option of selecting all of the possible options. It limits your choices to a few. The puzzling and unfortunate: - The phone has a side button that activates voice recognition! No idea why they made this design decision. Why would I want to be able to access my phone in this way when it is closed? There is a way to disable it, but you have to disable ALL of the exterior buttons, including the volume and push-to-talk button. In my opinion, this is the phone's worst feature. - When you send a text message, the exterior screen displays that fact to the world. Again, no idea why they would design it this way. All that being said, the Casio G'zOne Ravine 2 is a pretty good phone for basic use, and I am usually happy with it, especially when I reach my walking goals for the day.Read full review

I wanted a sturdy phone that would last, and this phone fits the bill. I had tried a less expensive Convoy II, but it literally fell into pieces while in my pocket. I like the feel and heft of this phone and it has all of the features I need. However, it has a short battery life and the extended life batteries for this model (C781) are very expensive ($80 -$100). If you purchase a Casio G'zOne Ravine 2 be sure to check the model number and cost of an extended battery, you will probably want one.
