Loyal aficionados of the brawny G’zOne phones have good reason to rejoice after word came out on the upcoming Verizon release of yet another G’zOne ruggedness. The upcoming successor of the G’zOne Type-S will be aptly called Boulder.

A quarter inch thinner than its predecessor at 2.02 inches by 3.94 inches by 0.91 inch, the Boulder features a 1.3-megapixel camera and Verizon’s next-generation Push To Talk service – the EV-DO REV. A, which resembles Sprint’s QChat technology. Of course, the Boulder still comes clad in the traditional G’zOne “everything-proof” shell.

With G’zOne phones, multiple color options are always expected. But in the case of the Boulder, color matters turn a notch wilder than before as it will be available in Black Silver and Orange.
