Verizon has finally made official its rugged newcomer, the Casio G'zOne Boulder.

The latest successor to the Type-V and Type-S phones, the Boulder is smaller and slimmer, plus it has a 1.3-megapixel camera, EV-DO Rev. A-based push-to-talk, VZ Navigator support, a microSD card slot, and a few more goodies.

If you want the Boulder without a camera, that's an option too, but you'll still have to pay the same price. The Boulder is available in both orange and black/silver, though the one sans-camera is only available in black/silver. It's currently available for $129.99 after a $50 rebate and a new two-year service agreement.

Could be a great phone. Had one about 6 weeks. BUT, has horrible sound in the ear piece and speaker. Sounds like a blown speaker and everyone is talking through loose wax paper. You will say , what was that, about every other sentence. Definitely disappointed.
