TRANSLATED FROM THE CASIO JAPAN WEBSITE

Green flag
The Casio Computer Co., Ltd., outdoor, to sport, without choosing the scene from daily life, the toughness k tie ' G ' zOne TYPE-R which is wide and can use ' it develops. Payment is started to the KDDI corporation which is the enterprise.

You can use " the G ' zOne " series, even in the rain, it is the portable telephone which has the shock resistant efficiency which it can withstand also the hard use of JIS protective class 7 suitable waterproof efficiency and daily life. It develops 4 types from 2000 to 2001. Focusing on the young person who requests the unique portable telephone toughness efficiency and the other portable telephone with the design which work outs one line, confidence was won.


Black mark
This time we guide ' G ' zOne TYPE-R ' to fold, principal trend of the portable telephone such as 128 ten thousand pixel cameras and 2.2 inch high fine QVGA liquid crystal of form and the macro functional attachment while everything thoroughly containing, is the toughness k tie which actualizes water resistance * shock resistant efficiency. Including the meaning, racing of design motif (the Racing) with, the revolutionist existence which creates the new genre of the portable telephone (the Revolution) of becoming, you named the respective initial " R " empty " TYPE-R ".

Ÿ The JIS protective class 7 suitable water resistance is superior the chip resistance
which The sub liquid crystal is protected the round urethane make ƒxƒ[ƒ‹ and the protector et cetera which eases the impact of the vertical falling time, to fold, it equips the material and the mechanism which actualize water resistance * shock resistant with form. Those, have become also accent in regard to the design which produces tough image.

Ÿ Even at at the time of back light not yet illumination clock function of easy to see sub
liquid crystal The sub liquid crystal, when the back light has not lit up, adopts the clock of easy to see regular indication type. Digital display of 4 types and analog indication of 1 type were pre-set. Furthermore while the substance is closed being one-touch, 1/100 second stopwatch and the countdown timer, it is change possible in the alarm.

Ÿ Is linked with EZ Nabi walk the electronic compass
which You close the substance and it is one-touch even to the cartridge and it starts, it loads the electronic compass which indicates direction in the sub liquid crystal. If it indicates with the main liquid crystal, linking with the map information of EZ Nabi walk, you can use.

Ÿ Being practical, the function which it is easy to use full load
The large volume buzzer of the 80dB (the hot buzzer), being one-touch, the photographing LED light/write which shines, to the family and the friend with simple operation the telephone and the pair function et cetera which can do the mail, being practical, it fully loaded the function which it is easy to use.

Substance design adopts, the design which such as spirit œ› body makes racing everywhere feel and the center cursor which makes the disk brake associate and is finished in carbon pitch the substance liquid crystal surface case which designate the tank of the motorcycle as motif. Freely using, Flash animation such as the menu picture which imitates the cylinder head, it actualized the picture design which has the substance and the standardized impression. Furthermore, the starting sound which was recorded from the actual racing car the starting picture, the charge stand of the forum which makes volt/bolt associate, also the color variation " green flag " of 3 colors " red zone " " black mark " being associated with motor sport, naming it does, it revives the key back light by way of the date of 4 years, e.g., it changes every body color, it was suitable in the toughness k tie, adhering thoroughly, it finished.

But it doesnt have GPS ? surely GPS is needed if you're going to be going outdoors / hiking / walking / cycling ?

So really, its just a regular mobile phone made slightly more rugged.

Pointless.

so how is that pointless? its a regular mobile phone that is shock resistant, waterproof and has a digital compass. which is all that i would need to find my way around, GPS is only any good if your going right out in the sticks, where there is no network coverage anyway, thats pointless. [addsig]

Here are some official details................

This phone is tough! The G’zOne TYPE-R is a flip-phone style that is also JIS Level 7 waterproof; still working after being in 1 m of water for 30 minutes. The demo model still worked after being in water for 20 minutes. The phone features a ring of foam around the sub-display, and magnesium alloy on the main body to make it more shock-resistant.



The phone also features a 1.28 mega pixel camera, QVGA screen, and three types of navigation systems – EZ Tsuita, AU’s signature service, plus EZ Navigator, a digital compass, and a service that guides you to your destination.

The digital compass, 1/100 Sec. Stopwatch, and round screen are the main unique features. “Extension Mode” doesn’t turn the phone into something from Mr. Gadget, but does allow you to check email and address book – even when the battery is empty. A flashlight feature and buzzer function are also included.

This is better than GPS. Don't forget GPS only works if you are moving, sometimes only if you are moving rather rapidly. If you stop to figure out where you are, GPS can go completely haywire or show you heading in the complete wrong direction. A map and compass are a better operating tool, and both in one device seems like a good idea to me. Personally I only trush GPS in boats, cars and planes, I rely exclusively on maps and compasses when I go out hiking.
