Verizon'e flagship phone from Casio called the G'zOne Brigade seems all set to take on the tough guys. It comes with a QWERTY keyboard, Push-to-talk, visual voice mail and a 3.2 megapixel with flash. All in all it seems like a perfect phone for the adventurous kinds. It is absolutely strong and actually looks like a multimeter used in the years gone by. None the less, the clamshell design protects the inner screen and buttons while the strong outer display adds to the electronic reader-like design.

Being rugged means being expensive for Casio. Verizon's charging $299 on a 2 year contract. If you buy it online it will cost you $50 less though.
