The Most Rugged Phone On The Market
Cell phones are fragile and delicate devices. While they are built to last the normal wear and tear of regular use they aren’t designed to withstand extreme circumstances. For anyone who leads a very active lifestyle they might find that average phones just wont cut it. These people need a rugged phone that is built to last. The Casio Exilim C721 available on Verizon Wireless is such a phone. The previous series of phones called the G’zOne series were military tested phones and are extremely durable. For the next line of phones G’zOne decided to team up with Casio (well known for its digital cameras) to create an extremely rugged camera phone. The merger brought forth the Casio Exilim C721. The phone boasts a camera, durable casing and even full HTML web browsing.
While the previous installments of G’zOne phones were durable they weren’t much to look at. The Exilim not only improves on its durability it also improve on its design as well. The phone has a sleek modern feel which will appeal to the masses. The Exilim is military tested and passes the MIL-STD 810F code which means the phone would be functional even when it is completely submerged in water. One can even take photos underwater (a feature that many divers could use regularly). The phone can also withstand rain, dust, salt, extreme humidity, snow, and even solar radiation and still be functional.
The Exilim has an amazing 5.1 megapixel camera. It takes amazing photos. The photo quality rivals that of some digital cameras. The unique design of the phone allows one to take photos in the same manner they would on a digital camera. The flip screen can be turned completely around and flipped back down again to act as a view finder (just like all digital cameras). There are 7 different resolution settings and numerous amounts of image control options. They are a 16x digital zoom, auto focus, image stabilizer, and many more. One of the more noteworthy features are the presets which allow a person to quickly change the phones settings to take the best possible photos under any condition. The modes include Night View, Person, Food, Party, and numerous others. The camera can also record video. They video quality is quite good compared to the video captured by other cameras phones.
Despite the small screen there is also a full HTML web browser. It worked very well and users are able to zoom in on any part of a website to get a better view. Full HTML web browsers are usually only included on phones with bigger screens so its inclusion on the Exilim is very welcome.
The Casio Exilim C721 is a rugged phone that will surely be appreciated by skydivers, scuba divers, etc alike. When all its featured are weighed together this phone amounts to a great device that will surely please anyone who purchases it. It is rather pricier than most phones but the cost is completely justified alone by the durability and camera feature.
