By This Casio G’zOne might be a Commando, but you’re the Commanding Android Officer and it’s time to give it some orders. And by that I mean you can now buy the Casio Commando at Verizon Wireless for $199.99. (Please note: not all customers are currently seeing the offer so be patient and refresh!)
The Commando is a rugged Android designed to withstand the bumps and bruises of extreme conditions. This is an extension of the popular G’zOne line that has often been a favor of folks doing work “in the field” where there phone might be subject to some type of turmoil. Think of it as bringing smartphone power to the blue collar class who appreciates the new technology but is happy to keep some of the simplicities in life like T9. Yup… the Commando has T9 typing.
Many will appreciate the fact that this phone meets military standards for Immersion, Rain, Shock, Dist Resistance, Vibration, Salt Fog, Humidity, Solar Radiation, Altitude, and Low/High Temp Storage. But don’t be fooled, it’s also rocking Android 2.2 with a 5MP camera and mobile hotspot capabilities.
Head over to our Casio Commando Forums and join hundreds of others sharing information, asking questions, and talking about the little Android that could (yet couldn’t… be broken).
Anyone knows how much it will w/o contract ? Launch outside the US ?
In verizon – Full Retail Price $449.99
Lol. SO obvious Verizon is sponsoring you guys. At least 7 verizon articles in one day, they send you unboxing phones, their LTE ads are EVERYWHERE on this site. It’s fuckin annoying. And the cool/important news is crammed into the “things we missed, you shouldnt”. Bahahahahah,good day phandroid
Yeah… one carrier launching 3 Android Phones in one day isn’t news worthy at all. Why would an Android site pay ANY attention to a bunch of Android phones launching? More stories about rumored firmware updates for the Motorola Milestone in Madagascar!

I rest my case
Maybe because Verizon is the biggest Android phone carrier? Hmmm No that couldnt be it. Who cares if they lean left, if you dont like it go to another site and bring your AT&T pile of garbage with you.
Btw, Im not grilling you guys for doing it, I was just making the observation. But it is irksome that some important stuff that should have their dedicated article get stuffed up into a laundry list…
“I’m not grilling you guys….But, i’m grilling you guys.”
I like what you did with the title, sir.
