Boudler is Cracked...

by Mike on Jan 1st, 2009 at 10:02 AM:

I just picked up my new G'z one Boulder on Friday and it already rebooted several times per day over the last 3 days. It once froze up, and I had to take the battery out, none of the buttons worked, and once I pulled out on the battery and put it back in, it came on. I have the latest software as of 12/22/08, and it still has rebooting and freezing up issues. The sound quality got better, and you get two batteries with the phone. It's sturdy as a Boulder, but the software clearly shows the tiny cracks forming. Don't give up Casio, some tweaking and this phone will shine. Also VZW sold me the old version, they now updated the Boulder and it has a front speaker as well, but I have to trade my phone in to get that. I am still within 30 days, but went from Voyager to Boulder over rebooting issues basically. It's a shame. Come on Big Red, for the $179.99 price tag, it shouldn't reboot or even ring wrong!!!

Overpriced junk

This phone was to replace a Motorola I530. Big mistake on our companies part. The sound is like talking in a 50 gal drum. PTT is worse. The clip holds the phone with the display out. Won't be long and it will be unreadable. Casio makes watches, not phones.

Battery issues

Well we are about to return the 3rd GzOne phone to Verizon due to battery problems, the first one lasted about 4 days and it would not stay charged, we exchanged it and it lasted about a week,now we have had this one about 2 weeks and today a fully charged phone went dead after 5 hours. And my husband hardly uses our minutes, so there is hardly any talk time on his phone. I really hope they can fix this problem because he really needs a tough phone, and the only issue we have is with the battery.

Welllllllllll

Well this fell short of what I thought I payed a lot for... the text features are just a zero. You can't change the sizes.. kind of Club. An over priced cub at that...

Hard to get around in the phone what poor quality sound and the visual part is very poor.

Not bad, sound and battery life seem to have been fixed.

I've had mine for a week and this review sums it up fairly well. I would add that the compass, while useless, is cool ok, so I'm easily amused but at least it doesn't cost another $10/ month to use. I've read a lot of reviews hacking on the sound quality and was pretty worried. So far mine has been great (Software version V9560M09). Sound quality on both ends is excellent. Vibrate mode is nearly useless. I could tell my LG VX8300 was vibrating from the next room; you can miss the Casio in your front pocket. Apparently the Boulder is vibration proof from the inside as well as from the outside. The clam shell seam is fairly smooth near the bottom of the phone making it a bit of a pain to open one handed. The flashlight is useful but It would be nice if it could be turned on without opening the phone. SD card access is heinously slow. Where the LG was fast to load pictures, the Casio is painful bordering on useless. Overall I'm satisfied but hoping for some useful hacks to appear.
