Verizon Addles Goldfish with Mean-Ass Gz'One Type V

Why is the bulky screw-ridden open-grilled Verizon Gz'One Type-V so ugly? Because it is tough. So tough it is waterproof and shock resistant. So tough it merits a name that can't be pronounced without a platinum inlay across your teeth.

McCann, New York threw together a promotional event called "Call the Fish" in a New Jersey store. One of these bad-boys got tossed into a fishbowl while people called the phone and watched the aggravated fish react to the phone's musical ringtones, flashing lights and vibrations.

How far we've all come from tapping incessantly on tanks.

Had this phone 1 month, the microphone in the base broke and ceased to work, shock resistant... riiiiight....
They replaced it as it was within the manufacturer's warranty but you would THINK a shock-resistant phone would be able to take a couple bumps and drops without the microphone breaking...
