As with the G’zOne Type-S, the G’zOne Boulder push-to-talk phone is also built to meet 810F military standards. That means you can drown it, drop it, freeze it, heat it, and expose it to solar radiation and the G’zOne Boulder will put up a serious fight and come out unscathed. The push-to-talk two-way communication should come pretty easy too with support for Verizon’s EV-DO Rev.A high-speed network and a special application called the Field Force Manager will let businesses monitor and communicate with mobile field workers. The onboard VZ Navigator provides turn-by-turn directions with audio cues and up to 14 million POIs, while the VCAST Music lets the workers have some fun with direct downloads of DRM-free music to the phone via Rhapsody, which can be stored on microSD cards of up to 8GB. A 1.3-megapixel camera is also an option left open to the customers interested.

The G’zOne Boulder is available online in colors of black/orange or silver/orange at just $129.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year agreement on Verizon.
