Mobile - If Aquaman or Superman ever needed a cell phone to keep in touch with the other members of the Justice League, Verizon Wireless's new G'zOne Type-V would be the perfect handset. Rugged, strong, and waterproof, the Type-V is well suited to the superhero lifestyle. Aquaman could take it underwater (albeit one meter), while Superman could use it while battling villains in the most extreme environments. It's not the prettiest phone around, but like a superhero, it's built to take a lot of blows. Look out Nextel, Verizon is coming after you. The feature set packs a wallop as well, with support for EV-DO networks, a 2-megapixel camera, and a speakerphone, though curiously, Bluetooth and a music player are absent. The Type-V costs a hefty $300 with a two-year contract. Though the phone is made by Casio, it's marketed by UTStarcom. Despite its rather ugly-duckling appearance, the Type-V is a welcome change after the seemingly endless parade of thin, pretty phones we've endured over the last year. With a common silver color scheme, an external antenna, and a bulbous exterior display, it makes zero effort to be trendy, which is a good thing. It's also one of the biggest (4.1x2.0x1.1 inches) and heaviest (5.3 ounces) phones we've seen in a long time. It's better worn on a belt clip than in a pocket, but its bulk is hardly a negative; in fact, it contributes to the phone's exceptional durability. The Type-V feels quite solid in the hand and is comfortable to hold while talking.
