The Commando's unique look will either turn you on or turn you off. It's a good-looking phone that has attitude, and that's what sets it apart from its predecessor. Casio has done a commendable job of reducing the bulk of its devices over the years without skimping on strength, and the Commando LTE 4G is the latest result in this evolutionary progression. Rugged smartphones often have a chunky, brick-like appearance. If you need a tough-as-nails smartphone that is rugged yet still somewhat refined, the Commando LTE 4G can match any active lifestyle. It's a follow-up to last year's model and makes some key improvements to the original. More info here (Flash warning).The Casio Commando LTE 4G is the latest rugged Android smartphone from Casio for Verizon Wireless. The Commando will be available on Verizon for $200 with a new contract starting on April 28.
Nice of them to include, though I get the feeling they (like the Verizon stuff) will be unremovable. It also uses XT9 instead of Swype, and has a “snap out menu” that actually looks pretty cool, though I can imagine it not running well (like other custom graphics and transitions) when the phone is bogged down:Īnd lastly there are a number of adventure-oriented apps like compass, pedometer, tide tables, that sort of thing. The few times I use the speakerphone, I always wish my phone was better in that respect, but that’s maybe twice a month. It has as big pair of speakers on the front, since apparently people want big speakers on their phone. At 5.1×2.6×0.6″, it’s a bit large, likely due to its unusual shape and rugged shell. The screen is 3.6″ and 800×480, which should make it quite sharp, and it’s got 512MB of RAM but an unspecified processor. It runs Android 2.2 with a custom skin from Casio, and has the usual Verizon stuff on it as well.
The Commando is ruggedized and can be submersed in water, exposed to extreme temperatures, and survive the other vicissitudes our phones are often subjected to, by accident or design. While the name “G’zOne Commando” is totally ridiculous, the phone actually looks pretty solid.
