How many times have you dropped your phone in the bathroom? Even if you haven't, you probably know someone who has. I have a friend who has dropped her phone in the bathroom at least five times, and each time she's had to find a replacement. If you're a klutz, you'll love the Verizon Wireless G'zOne Type-S. Not only is it water-resistant, it's military-tested to be shock- and dust-resistant as well. In short, this thing is as tough as nails. It's a little smaller and appears more streamlined than its big brother, the Type-V, but the Type-S will still take all kinds of abuse. Sure, it comes with fairly basic features such as a VGA camera but no EV-DO support. If you're an extreme sports enthusiast or an industrial worker, however, that may not matter too much if the phone can roll with the punches.
