Finally, a Drunk-Proof Phone!

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

If I tally up the number of phones I’ve had to replace in the past three years due to drunken mishaps, the total is 5. Whether it involves getting pushed/falling into a pool, “accidentally” spiking it after the Chargers score a touchdown, or being tackled into the ocean at the 40Cozy Labor Day party- I am horrible with phones.

Casio created a solution for drunkards everywhere: the G’zOne (pronounced “jeez-one”). Well now they have a new version called the Type S. Intended for the military, I think it is a perfect fit for raging drinkers with little disregard for their possessions. Take a look at this bad boy:

Not that you need all the Type-S’s features (but you never know where you’ll end up after a bender), but it’s shock and dust resistant and it’s even freeze proof- in case you lose it while stumbling home in the snow. As it says on their site, you can drop it, dunk it, shake it- does that mean you can spike it? I’ll assume yes.

The phone can even last up to 30 minutes in a meter of water- meaning you can surf with it, take it whitewater rafting, or have it in your pocket when your wasted self falls off the houseboat at Lake Havasu. Jen and Eric at Gearlog even tried to make calls in their pool, and it worked! Well, kinda…all they heard was mumbling- but hey, that’s pretty awesome.

It’s even got GPS so you can figure out where you’re at when you wake up in a field with no noticeable landmarks in sight. So yeah, I’m sold on this phone.
