What's great about it: easy to use, durable, good battery, good camera, great call quality
What's not so great: no zoom on camera at 5MP.
The phone works exacly like I expected it to. The battery works great if you turn off unnessacary things such as gps, wifi, but also background data and mobile data. The phone lasts me two days if I do all that while still texting a lot and checking the internet time to time.
This product is... Easy to use keypad/keyboard, Great picture quality, Tough/durable, Good video quality, Good call quality
About me... My phone is my life, Budget Conscious, Heavy texter
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Form factor and operating system
What's not so great: Won't charge to 100% while on. Have to turn off and charge for 100% to be reached
This is a very sturdy, easy to use phone. Touch screen is good and the quick menu is great. Looks good too! Takes awhile to reach 100%charge but really not an issue for me.

What's great about it: Use of aps for needed interent processes
What's not so great: I bump mute often when talking
I had the first 2 generations of Casio rugged phones and they survived my tests. I struggled to learn the phone at first, but now I think it is great. It keeps track of my steps and my run speed. Down loaded several aps and it is becoming my new memory. Great phone I hope it keeps up with its older brothers. I have yet to have any "accidents" with it.
This product is... Easy to use keypad/keyboard, Short battery life, Tough/durable

What's great about it: Great features, good price, very rugged
What's not so great: Battery life with full options on
This is a good rugged phone that can handle a lot of abuse. It's built to mil spec and upon telling a friend that it could drop from a distance of like 5 feet - they proceeded to do so. No worries!
You don't have to waste money on screen protectors or phone protectors with this - unless you just want to be fashionable.
Some drawbacks... The phone has built-in GPS and Wi-Fi, and other tools - and when you have them all on (e.g. you're using Google Latitude), it will draw the battery down pretty fast. However, this is somewhat mitigated by coming standard with with a great battery / power widget that allows you turn these off from the main screen. After extended use, it will get a bit lagged; the Verizon guy suggested pulling the battery out occasionally just to clear everything out.
3G speed is fine. This is always dependent on where you're at. With the option of turning on the Wi-Fi - you can always mitigate any concerns on network speed. Also - the GPS picks up really quick.
Anyway - if you're an outdoorsy type or just want a phone that can take some abuse - this is the one for you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Screen looks amazing, Thick gorilla glass helps protect screen, Rugged, Water Resistant, Fast
What's not so great: Thick screen makes you press harder to use touch, waterproof headphone jack makes some head phones not useable, Not 4g
The Casio Commando allows people who once couldn’t have smart phones get smart phones. This Android phone running 2.2 is fast and very rugged. The first thing I did when I got the phone was put this phone under water in my tub and took pictures made phone calls and texts as well as updated my facebook underwater. I will say do that at your own risk and I wouldn’t take your phone very deep but if you drop it in water it will live to tell the story.
After the water test I tested the speed using the 3g I got 1mbts up and 1mbts down witch was fairly good. It’s no 4g phone but if you are a rugged user 4g is probably not where you going to take this phone any ways. It has built in wifi and I connected to my router with ez. This phone is also a wireless hot spot for an extra monthly fee.
The screen is 800x480 and looks amazing it’s a little smaller then the droid x or the thunderbolt but its still pretty good size. One thing that I love about this phone is that it uses a thick gorilla glass witch helps reduces scratches as well as live up to drops and falls. The little bit thicker glass makes it a slightly less touchy then other phones but once you get use to having to press a little harder you get you to it pretty fast.
The day I got this phone I tried to run as many programs at a time to see how the 800mhz processor handheld. To my surprise switching between texting, sirusxm, slingbox, Pandora, browser, and making a few calls in between this phone never stop to think. It was running as fast as I could think.
It has a 5mpx camera but camera people will tell you mega pixels don’t mean every thing. This camera is pretty decent. It’s not going to win any professional photos but it will take great photos and videos to post up on facebook or what have you.
One thing that I loved more then any other phone I have had is this thing kicks on speakers. When I watched my slingbox you could hear the sound loud and crisp, better then my laptop. Going to speaker phone was the same thing Casio did the speakers right when they made this phone and will work nice to put it on speaker phone out in the field when your hands are full.
At the end of the day this is a really good phone and allows people never before able to have smart phones get them with out worrying about weather conditions. It’s not the fastest phone or the best looking phone. But it’s defiantly the most rugged phone just like my jeep and that’s why I Love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
