Another great phone is the droid Motorola Defy by T-mobile. Also shock, water and dust resistant plus it's a droid, light years ahead of the GZ in terms of technology. Thing with any droid phone is that you need a to dish out another $30/month (t-mobile) on top of your monthly charges in order to use it. Had mine for over 5 months, dropped it plenty of times, dunked it in lakes, tub, buckets with no problems. My uses it in the shower blasting his music. I'm a contractor and use it on the field. Really a tough little phone. The $30 charge is worth it for me as I'm able to keep up with emails, use it as a gps, locate lumber yard/stores around the area you're in and much more... the apps alone is worth it IMO.

With that said, if you're looking for a phone to just make calls, text and simple tasks then go with the GZ.

Good luck.

I've had 2 GZs for years. I love them. This phone I linked to is the first iphone -like smart phone that is water/shock proof and its a GZ. It is an android os and it is offered through verizon.
