Verizon has just come live with another ruggedized mobile phone, the CASIO G’zOne Ravine 2. The handset is exclusively available at Verizon Wireless for $150 (110 EUR) after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year agreement.

The carrier will retail the CASIO G’zOne Ravine 2 online beginning November 17, and in Verizon Wireless stores starting November 23.

Built to withstand the most extreme conditions, the CASIO G’zOne Ravine 2 features a compact and durable design.

Furthermore, those who are wondering if they will be able to use the phone in other countries should know that the G’zOne Ravine 2 features global roaming, allowing for communication in more than 200 countries around the world.

The phone is equipped with the CASIO's G’zGEAR software that works in seven modes to improve users' experience indoors, but mostly outdoors.

In fact, CASIO G’zOne Ravine 2 is the perfect companion for hiking trails, as the phone can withstand dust and occasional sprinkles, as well as accidental shocks.

According to CASIO, the G’zOne Ravine 2 “is ideal for industries such as construction, transportation, law enforcement and military. Workers in hazardous environments such as construction sites, warehouses and factory floors require a device that is reliable, easy to use and has the capability to withstand extreme wear and tear.”

Just like the recently launched Sprint Kyocera DuraCore clamshell, but at a larger scale, the CASIO G’zOne Ravine 2 meets Military Standards 810G for vibration, immersion, water, humidity, shock and dust resistant, solar radiation, salt fog, altitude and low and high temperature storage.

In addition, the rugged feature-phone is Push-to-Talk capable and comes pre-loaded with a range of apps and services including, Opera Mini browser, VZ Navigator and V CAST Tones.

The phone sports a 3.2-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, Bluetooth, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32 GB).
