My wife and I both have GZone's and there are features we like about it and features we don't. First of all, the ruggedness and how water/shock resistant it is, is quite impressive. The paint on the orange one seems to chip off quite easy, but thats just cosmetic i suppose. The downfall to this phone is that they are having programming problems with it. When we got the first set, the phone would just shut off on you in the middle of a conversation, wouldn't tell ya who's calling, speakerphone would automatically come on when you flip the phone open and so on. Then one day the phone just started giving an off the hook/busy signal and wouldn't shut up. Tried turning the phone off, still got the busy signal and you could hear the SOB from across the room with the phone OFF!!! GRRR. So called verizon, they shipped us two new phones after trying to re-program them thru their system.

So, problem solved right? Not.... Damn things started doing the same [censored] a little while later. She called them up, they told us they are having programming problems with those and that she could either get another one or choose a different phone. She chose a different model and it hasn't happened since. Needless to say, I still have mine and it still automatically turns the speaker phone on when i flip it open, but other than that, i haven't had anymore problems. I WILL NOT get this phone again when my new every two is up. Shouldn't even have these problems out on the market. A customer should not have to spend the doe and take time outta his day to fix that [censored] once let alone twice. Good luck Doc.
