Casio Brigade

[77internationalscout]

How do you get that external screen to display that??

[thehallowheads]

love sprint but i need this phone

[GABSiAM]

I'm a 14 year old girl, and this phone is THE BEST. I've dropped it on concrete over 100 times, spilled water all over it, thrown it against the wall, etc... If you're looking for a phone that doesn't have to have that stupid ass data charge and is actually durable, this is perfect for you.

[YourGuardianEngel]

i've had a samsung alias 2 for over two years now, until its screen started to falter, and then it was finally stolen to top things off. not wanting to get a phone with a mandatory data package, i just bought this recently on ebay for $184. post office says it should be arriving tomorrow (or today, heh, it's 2 am) and it feels like christmas... i just can't wait to use this phone!

[RalphBenedeski]

Is this a smart phone?

[pendulumrulez]

IS this recommended for me? I'm 12 years old, I really like these texting-phones and stuff, and most of my friends or family's phones usually break when dropping them or submerging them, so If I buy this phone, I'll get the awesome service of Verizon, plus the nice keyboard, and I dont have to worry about me dropping it? and whats the price on this sweet little thing?

[trickpat777]

Yeah the phone is tough,waterproof and cool to show off to your friends..but it is slow as hell, it freezes and it shuts off all the time. It is not worth getting. Ive had it for 10 months and changing my phone soon.

[TeamGilbert76]

The Casio Brigade is not water-proof. It only boasts to be "water-resistant". If you read the Warranty fine print information it clearly says this and states also "by placing it under a faucet or shower and adding water-pressure, or submerging it inside water for a long time, the warranty will be invalid because the device will become non-repairable."

[planethjd]

help me out how do you use the compass?? i cant find it??

[butloveisblindbaby]

I am definitely getting this phone. Texting in the shower or the pool, taking underwater videos, my dog can chew on it and I won't have to worry about it. :) sounds like a great phone & I don't mind if it's slow with Internet or email, because that's not what I'm getting it for.

[xjock1969]

great phone,tough.

[hobbleheads]

use it as a good durable phone and carry and ipod touch and use this as a modem great combo!

[iMason6216]

I want this phone simply because I break everything... I have been forbidden to love just because i am clumsy. :((

[Ropinlizard]

406-748-6533 ...has anyone tried calling that number yet? lol

[ilikecandy96]

Texting in the shower here I come!!!

[siriusgamer]

Can it take a bullet?

[Dar70]

@siriusgamer NO. Its a rugged phone not indestructable.

[Mathieu1903]

@Dar70 Ha! I learned that the hard way when I threw mine as hard as I could against my barracks room wall! I was trying to demonstrate to my friends that it was "indestructable", and yeahhhh Rugged is more like it!

[kef103]

i HAVE THIS PHONE WHY DO THE KEYS MAKE A TONE WHEN THE THE KEYGUARD IS ON??? CASIO I THINK YOU SCREWED THAT ONE UP .. GREAT HAVING A KEYGUARD BUT IF YOU HEAR IT DIALING IN YOUR POCKET ... YOU HAVE TO CHECK TO SEE IF ITS REALLY DIALING OR JUST IN KEYGUARD / CASIO MUSICAL KEYBOARD FEATURE... IM READY TO GO BACK TO MY ORANGE ENV WAS BETTER THAN ALL THESE

[Coleybears1]

know if its available for Sprint soon? Or is it???

[Dar70]

@Coleybears1 No. Casio is usally just for Verizon.

[THEREALRenwarkZipper]

I have this phone, i dont care about multimedia. i have an ipod touch 4G for all that.

this phone is amazing its a bit bulky and the front buttons are small for us Men's fingers, but the speed is pretty good and it an awesome texting phone. AND IT READS YOUR TEXTS FOR YOU IF YOUR PRESS THE 0 KEY!!! this is a MAN's phone.

[FootBall432221]

a env military STYLE!! :)

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

I never had any problems with this phone, except the constant temptation to chuck it at anything made of concrete. It finally was ended when my dumbshit friend threw it a good 50 mph at a wall. It makes me sad.

[damphier14]

how much?

[damphier14]

Ouch ur phone is blinking ... i think u misunderstood

in the box it said UN -Waterproof Cell phone .. u didn't read UN

[johnsZ281]

@damphier14 its bc it is being recorded

[TRISTAN1095]

@damphier14 its the camera interfering with the screen

[gabrielstangel]

@TRISTAN1095 No. The frame rate of the camera is higher than the frame rate of the LCD screen.

[mathewhaemer1]

It's a env 3 on steroids!

[sgtrock68]

I see you only have 1 bar of 1X. Hows the reception?

[KingCherryBomb]

phonescoop, i was looking at the phone today and even when i recorded with the front wscreen, it had like a line going through it. why is that happening?

[iChrisBaker]

so can you take piictures underwater?

[KingCherryBomb]

@iChrisBaker yes my friend has this phone you can record underwater, take pictures, use the light, its a cool phone and i want it

[sstroh08]

@iChrisBaker i dont have one of these but i got the gzone boulder and yes u can take pictures underwater i got several swimming pool ones on it, i also tried texting sitting at the bottom of a pool once but it didnt have any signal underwater lol

[wndrshwzn]

sprint need this

[xxnissansilviaxx]

does it have the thermometer?

[flipsk8r1256]

i replaced my casio brigade 2 days after i bought it because it kept resetting after text messages were sent... i got a new one, and for 1 day it worked flawlessly, then it did the same thing. is anyone else having this problem with their casio brigade??

[Hyokano]

@flipsk8r1256 That started happening with my Type V, but then it was 2 years into using it. It also started just after I immersed it in water for the first time and swam with it at the beach so I blame age and pushing the limits. . . I hope that's not a constant for the new phone though.

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

0:22 Exactly the reason I got it.

[Homade79]

and you failed to mention that it has a locking switch on it to lock the phone closed so it want open on you when you dont want it to

[DerekAgin20]

that switch on the back that says free and locking, if for the backing plate so it doesnt come off and get water into it

[NiMNice]

this guy makes you want to hate this cool phone.

[sleepyretart88]

Actually the web browser loads slow because you didn't have good service.

[Ska8allday]

why is the front screen flickering

[KalConduitman]

the rock is the best casio phone, no data plan required, and gzgear

[jjlwis]

@KalConduitman so you have to have a data plan for the Brigade?

[treeisforme16]

how come the external screen blinks is tht just because its gettin recorded or wat

[phonescoop]

Yup, that's just an effect of the video recording. It doesn't look like that in real life.

[kef103]

@phonescoop  A video camera has a higher refresh rate than the screen on the front .. so the frames your eye cant see show up..

[nitsuj1231]

@treeisforme16 yup

[justthatkid1995]

I was expecting a little more about how durable the phone is. Perhaps another video would be nice.

[RockMusikRox]

LOL do you know how many phones ive ruined due to water damage.,...thank you to this company for finally figuring out what i needed.

[dookreddkardd2]

@RockMusikRox Me too! I got it now!

[lotsblocks]

ha i fuckin want this

[AquaInertia]

Why do all phones who fold like that have to looks so crappy on the outside, is it so hard to make them look normal???

[soulxside]

Verizon is notorious for sticking crapware on their phones... Kinda neat to see a waterproof phone though.

[klp335]

so i can go in the pool and txt my friends while fully submerged under the water?

[FlySK3]

Definitely. Lmao.

[nitsuj1231]

@klp335 fuck yea you can

[Hyokano]

@klp335 I took underwater pictures with my Type V so yeah, Casio's got that down for you too :D

Can't wait to upgrade!

[bieli0]

@klp335 yessum... shit phone though... want a real rugged phone? check SONIM 

[greenteagod]

@bieli0 Which of their phones has a qwerty keyboard?

[kareliatrophy]

@klp335 Yes you can!

[erkprry759]

@klp335 thatd be awesome i play water polo and thatd be awesome to text while doin tred drills

[oOobloodymessiahoOo]

@klp335 Well you can't really get a signal underwater so, it won't work like that.

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

@klp335 I wouldn't go further than a meter or two.

[darkeyce02]

@klp335 sure can, me and my bro talk under water with our g'c one Rocks

[teamrampage123]

@klp335 yes! ha. i can wait to get mine

[jester6241996]

@klp335 I really want to know the answer to that question

[BreffmintsMDV2010]

@klp335 LOL

[doubletlp1337]

@klp335 yes actually its awesome as hell

[MegaSal11]

A water proof phone?

Seriously? Wow

Verizon has stooped so low

It's jst sad..

[kubevubin]

This is the fifth phone in the G'zOne series, and they've pretty much all been water-resistant.

[christian571]

@MegaSal11 i think that a waterproof phone is a good idea u know how many people drop their phones in water lol ive lost more than one phone to liquid damage

[offdutypirate]

@MegaSal11

LOL what about a waterpro0f phone is "stooping low" ?

some people like myself require a waterproof phone.

Took it tubing on the river yesterday, it was underwater for hours. Got some great pictures and could text/talk all day while swimming/tubing.

By far, the best phone Ive ever owned. I need a phone that takes a beating.

[Dar70]

Whats so sad?? I think its a great phone.

[genestarwindjf80]

Why the LCD screen is flashing with lines going down and down?

[genestarwindjf80]

That's a sweet ass phone. I would love to have it. It sucks i'm on AT&T. AT&T NEED PHONES LIKE THIS TOO. HATE EM SO MUCH DAMN U AT&T.

[groundnpound92]

hes totally anti-verizon

[r0b0leadr]

2:05, Sexting Bonus Track? 0_o

[jagjagin]

that isn't the only water-proof phone on the market.

[bluedeval]

Hahaha at the end of the video at 4:17 you can see some Phone numbers

[tenplex]

Who is this guy? It is criticizing Verizon's standard software... that is just what you get with any standard Verizon phone so you can't play Casio for that. He kind of comes off sounding a bit like a douche.

[kubevubin]

Not really. He did have some legitimate gripes about the browser.

[joelcss]

ugly :o

[Andey17]

Jizz One Brigade...

[turner850]

Wow... dude your biased againts verzion. stop making reviews.

[locatt]

@turner850 you just cant handle the truth

[NitekMuscle]

I've grown to despise Verizon's nasty red GUI.

[NitekMuscle]

It reminds me of those old LG enV phones.

[Snapper314]

This guy is an IDIOT who obviously hates Verizon.

VCast music costs 99 cents (just like most of the others!!).

View some of the other reviews for this phone for the REAL INFO.

[philipberne]

Nope, I have the phone right here in front of me and I can confirm songs cost $1.99.

[kubevubin]

They're $.99 if you purchase them from the Web site. $1.99 is just the OTA pricing.

[philsnk]

@kubevubin So small, it ends up becoming a toy. Then the screen is just a sticker and your kid has another peice of junk in their sandbox.

[BoyBoyChannel]
