    How does this compare to my gZ'one Boulder? That survived being in my pants while I was dragged around the ocean by a 7+meter kite in NC.

    I wonder if they'll ever be able to ruggedize a touchscreen phone.

    @USB_Humping_Dog: that makes me think of the sat phone from the show "LOST". I think it was a touch screen.

    @yungjerry703: Or the waterproof solar powered satellite phone Tom Hanks had in the movie "Castaway".

    @USB_Humping_Dog: I just want to see Casio come out with a ruggedized QWERTY phone. I love my gZ'one Type V, but texting on it is a pain in the ass.

    @ceilingFANBOY: Did the V have the bumpers on both ends and the 2.something megapixel camera?

    I buy about 50 T-Series laptops a year for my company for the last 10 years. Still the best business laptop you can buy. Best no hassle business warranty service, best integrated software.


    My only complaints is that the screens are still way sub-par (both in brightness and resolutions), and they don't have backlit keyboards yet.

    @SysElim: Those are my complaints also. My brother has a Dell XPS and I can't believe the difference in screen brightness when I switch to his. Also I wish the T series had HDMI out and something like Dells WiFi catcher.
