Though UT Starcom’s two new phone announcements, the CDM 7025 and CDM 7075, focused on pitching stylish-looking handsets to the low-end of the market (the “free phone” so many carriers will throw in with a new service contract), the company did show a remarkable new phone called the G’z One, expected out later this year. Remarkable because they displayed the sturdy black plastic handset sunk in a gallon of water! The G’z One, billed by UT Starcom spokeswoman Joan Cear as “water resistant and shock proof” can withstand total submersion for up to 30 minutes, wonderful news for the hundreds of people who’ve lost units to accidental dunkings in pools, lakes, and that perpetual threat, the toilet. —Audrey Gray

I have a company that is keen to purchase one of these G’zOne phones. Can you please tell me where they can be purchased from.
kind regards, Leasa.
Unfortunately, Leasa, there’s no word yet on when UT Starcom is going to distribute this phone in the U.S. In the meantime, please enjoy Casio’s flashy Japanese Web site for the phone: http://gzone.jp/
I have had a 7075 since March of 07 and it doesn’t hold a charge very well. I can receive or make about 3 five min. calls and the battery is low and dying.
