Casio g'zone Commando review

Submitted by Eric Smith on Wed, 05/04/2011

This rugged durable Android 2.2 phone from Casio is rare in the fact that there is not many durable Android phones on the market, but the phone itself is painful to use the touch screen doesn't respond in a timely manner, and appears to be sluggish at times when using apps.

This phone for some who has to have an Android phone with 3G while climbing Arres Rock or MZount Everest will love it.

Apart from that it is a peice of junk.
