If you are swimming in the Olympics or serving in Special Forces and need a cell phone that can withstand the most extreme conditions, the Verizon G’zOne Boulder should be at the top of your list. With a 1.3 megapixel camera, EVDO Rev A blazing fast Internet, Push-to-Talk support and access to Verizon’s V Cast Music and Video all the major bases are covered by the Boulder. Lucky for us, Cnet was able to get their hands on the Verizon G’zOne Boulder and the results are in.
Unfortunately, I ran into a few audio quality problems when testing the phone. There was quite a bit of static and echo, and a lot of my callers reported some crackling during calls. Of course, this may vary depending on the phone in your area, but this is what I discovered on the phone I received.
Besides the audio quality problems, the device performed well and withstood the toughest conditions. The electronic compass was extremely accurate and the flash LED proved to be a useful flashlight during testing. While the G’zOne Boulder will not win you any awards in style, the device fits a rare bread of cell phone users and if the audio quality problems can be sorted out, the Boulder will be a serious contender for those looking to go on next season’s Survivor.
