Stress-Testing the Verizon G'zOne Cellphone

Posted by kdawson on from the extreme-abuse dept.

abkaiser writes "You can dunk it under water. Put it in the oven and crank up the heat. Drop it, smack it, treat it like the hunk of plastic that it is. And yet this is a cellphone. I got my hands on the Verizon G'zOne (pronounced 'G-Z-One'), a phone designed for high-abuse environments. Come for the test methodology, stay for the photo of a cellphone cooking in an oven."

    Saying your "phone ran out of batteries" is like saying your "car ran out of gas tanks".
