is it just me, or is the phone main selling point the ruggedized case? because the ads don't mention the fact at all that it's running on an 800mhz proc, 2.2 froyo.
i don't own the phone, just feel like the ads make it out like a....they focus mainly on the ruggedized of it. not that it's bad, it's just a different advertising campaign for a phone, and verizon probably isn't funding the ads. (because it's a mid-range device)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XejMy7DYacc
anyway, just a random blurb from me.
aside from that, didn't think casio could pull off a phone, don't they mainly make wrist watches?
Can't say I even know them for that,
I only know them for calculators :/
Anyway, this phone of thiers doesn't look particularly interesting.

no, there's another one where they strapped it to the back axel of a rally car and went around with it, came back at the end of the ad, thing was covered in mud, miracoiusly it still worked, yeah, who would want to do that to a phone?
i know it's meant for working in a tough field, but, the ad campaign is a little over the top, no?
and ias i said mid-range, highest it captures in video is crappy 360p
and as far as ruggedness, buy a freaking otterbox case, because that's pretty much what this phone's shell is.
Casio Commando is fun.
I was watching a Ken Block, insane Gymkhana video, under water with my Casio Commando, in a creek at Brevard College, in Brevard North Carolina. The water temperature was ice cold on July 4th, 2011. You have to make sure all doors on the phone are closed so you will not damage the phone. The screen is very sensitive to the temperature of the water. The water will actually control the phone because the phone thinks the water is your fingers. So is takes practice to enter the phone into the water without stopping the video.
Check out my video on YouTube at Casio Commando Underwater.
To record videos underwater with the Casio Commando, you have to
1) call someone and stay on the call
2) start the camcorder recording
3) tap the power button to turn off the screen. The phone thinks the water is your fingers and
the water will control your phone to do weird things such as stop recording. The sound of the speakers on the phone gets clogged with water so it does not sound good until the water drains out of the speakers. I blow on the different doors and holes on the phone to clear the water so I can hear the speakers. I wait on the phone to dry
completely before charging again or opening the doors for any reason.
I would like for someone to create a new rom for the Casio Commando.

Just think, how dirty is money?
What is the thing that is nearly as dirty as money?
A cellphone or smartphone.
If you have a waterproof or waterresistant phone, just wash it.

Who exactly wears watches anymore? Seems like they are only worn by older (35+) people who have worn them all of their lives (before the cell phone) or by young people who either have plenty of expendable income or are single and overly concerned with their appearance.
I used to wear a watch, but the batteries kept dying so I stopped wearing them. Now if I need the time, i just look at my phone.
Used to wear watches, one of the watch's battery died while the other got lost in a mall, fell out of my bag. I love wearing watches.
Always have, always will. (I am over 35). My current watch:

No. Sparky gave me a beautiful Tag Heuer but I can't get used to wearing it.
I didn't write that. Prove it!!!
Who's this Sparky you're talking about? You mentioned that name in the "What time do you usually sleep?"-thread.
On topic: No, i'm not wearing a watch anymore, but i would like to buy a nice classic watch, like Dirk's. It's a nice accessory.

19 here, never left the house/ apartment without it.
Currently using :
I (24) also never leave without one. I take it off when working on the computer, but other than that I wear it the whole time I am awake.
Using :
It is super thin and hypo-allergenic.
I wore a watch everyday through elementary and middle school, but once I got to highschool and started playing soccer I stopped wearing it. It became more of a hassle to make sure it was on and off when I couldn't wear it for sports so I just stopped.
Been wearing a watch since I was 5 years od an now I'm 18... Can't live without it(except on the shower, or on the beach). I just feel my wrist too light without it

Very clean and simple. I like!
I haven't worn a watch since 4th grade
I haven't worn a watch since getting a cell phone at 17, but now (20) I feel like I should start again. Just can't find a nice thin "aviator" style black watch I like.
Absolutely, ever since I got into running; wear it all day long.
I usually only wear a watch on school days
Nuff said
Frak the OP, we all wear watches. It's cool, and it makes you look less geek-douchey (taking out your phone to check the time?).
I broke the wrist-strap on mine and I've been looking for a place that does repair. So far, no luck.
Was wearing it few years back .. not any more .. because i can see the time on my PC or on my Windows Phone
As the picture shows, if you have this smart cup, will you use it?

(Pictures from http://josephvv.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/cuptime-a-smart-cup-can-remind-you-to-drink/)
It's called Cuptime, it can accurately record every drinking water and drinking water for you, with advanced water balance algorithm, Cuptime can always remind you of the water in the most suitable time.
You can store drinking water project data and synchronized to the mobile phone by bluetooth4.0, give you a full range of drinking water to remind.
I don't know is there anyone really use it, but for me, it may not work, how could i use only 1 cup for a whole day long.
Besides the price is Mod Edit: Links removed, i don't think that suit for me.
So what's your opinion?
Probably would not use it. I'm not particularly interested in how much water I drink or when I drink it That price is insane for a cup that records how much you drink water.
Maybe if it was able to put the water in the cup through some black magic trick without me having to do anything but watch, or even cool hot water in a matter of seconds, it'd be worth it. In the end, it's basically a cup that tells me how much water I drink.
WOW that´ś pretty cool !
I like gadgets so i do like this one also !
Maybe i will buy it in the future!
This is pretty ridiculous. If you need a $200 device to tell you to drink water I believe you have a lot of problems.
Cool, but too expensive [emoji19]
Wouldn't use it. Too much for something that's not that interesting to know
I'm too busy with what I do for that to be useful. I just drink a gallon water jug
Only if it brewed beer!
I will not use it, I think that it is useless.
I would not use it either.

It's a bit basic for the price. If it had a heater and tea/coffee/hot chocolate function/brewer, it might actually be worth it. Good idea, but I don't think it is in its current state worth more than $30. Even if you were monitoring your fluid intake for some reason.
Since I'm sick and tired of these ridiculous health obsession hypes, no.
Now, if it came with a remote controlled heater build in.....

Nah!
Nah, drinking everyday only from that cup, that is impossibru! Simply get a drink from Starbuck or elsewhere when you are not at home and the whole drinking habit calculation fails.
Do I have to recharge it every night? That is plain stupid.
It is just an ultra-expensive fancy looking useless cup and does what regular cups can already do except maybe make you really lazy to count your own water (if that matters to you) other than that pretty useless
I don't think I would use that; no reason to. It is simply a cup that tells me how much water I've had to drink. Can't I just tell that by the fact that my bottle or cup of water is getting empty?? And won't I know when to drink more water, because I'll feel thirsty? I agree with the others, maybe a cool idea, but just not for me.
no that's just a waste of money. I rather do it by myself xD

About Me...Take a seat
Im all about android, since you are reading this I’m willing to bet you are too. From a Motorola Brick to a Samsung Galaxy Gear, I’ll show you how I fell in love with android. Sit back and relax as I lead you on my journey…. I recently searched for T-Shirts, hoodies, jackets, anything that I can wear with an Android based design. My results netted almost none at all. I found maybe one or two t-shirts. I was pretty disappointed that I could not walk to classes at The University of Kansas wearing something I supported so much. Here is my story.
My first phone was a brick from Motorola at the age 14. My mom placed my first phone on my birthday cake so I immediately thought it was fake. I remember thinking it couldn't be merely anything but a hollow dummy phone. To my surprise it was heavier than what I had expected. That birthday marked the long nights of playing snake.
At 15 my second phone came into my life. It couldn't just be any phone though. It had to have a color front LCD screen and play polyphonic ringtones. My mom and I settled on Kyocera. A flip phone on virgin-mobile. This phone served all a teenager's needs at the time. With this phone I was introduced to Java given the web browser. At the time there was absolutely no development from a 15 year-old’s standpoint. I was simply happy could browse Myspace on my phone.
When I was 16 everyone in high school had the Motorola Razr (today's IPhone) but I wanted something different. I wanted something just as good and just as slim. I could afford it since I started work at a Sonic nearby.... Making $5.15/hr plus tips I was basically rolling in money. 220 dollars later I ordered the Samsung A900 aka "The Blade" from eBay. It was dope at the time. It had front facing speakers, music control buttons, and a rotating camera. I’m just realizing it now but was the first selfie phone. :cyclops: To stand out I wrapped the phone in a money skin from ebay. I was pretty much the cool kid on campus.
While I was around 17 years old I bought my first smartphone. This also might be my first time finding xda, I joined in 2008. It was the HTC Vogue aka The Touch. It was my first ever touch screen phone and it had windows! I was amazed I could simply copy and paste files just like my computer and it only had 3 buttons. With unlimited texting/data and my Acura Integra I was living the life of a teenager.
18 years old I was still working at Sonic but now as a shift manager. The pay was great for my age while still living with my parents. Once my upgrade came along I decided to get another HTC. The Touch Diamond. All I ever wanted. It was a windows phone, it has a pretty good camera, AND it had a gyroscope built in! Now I can brag to my friends about this awesome game where you can tilt the phone in order to roll a ball through a maze.
Onward came the Motorola Droid. At this point I was 19 and recently accepted into the University of Kansas studying Mechanical Engineering. I remember sitting in English 101 discussing a topic about how technology has shaped us. The guy sitting next to me noticed my Droid on the desk and brought it up to the class. He said “His phone is basically a computer. He has a keyboard, he can send and receive email, and use the internet. The best thing about it is he can fit it in his pocket.”

Too many problems with the Note 4's hardware. Scratches, blacked out bezels, dents, more scratches... Polishing was (and still is) a temporal fix for the scratches, but what about the dents? the unpainted parts?. A friend of mine dropped my naked Note 4 to a hard, concrete floor face down and... what was his best choice to lift it up? Grabbing it softly from the floor? Neh.. he put his feet on it and dragged it to his position, then lifted up. Luckily, after yelling at him like for 15 minutes, I've looked at the screen at direct sunlight and it was fine and wasn't scratched at all, only the white bezel between the screen and the chromed chamfered bezel was heavy damaged, the white paint went out, it looked horribly bad. I went to my house, and started to "unpaint" (I don't know the proper word in english) the white coat to see the chromed metal behind it with scissors and polished it to remove the scratches produced by them. Result? Not much difference. It looks like a Note 3, but metallic. After that I saw that the back cover was scratched too so I thought: Why not? Polished it too. The pictures speak by themselves:
This is the part that I "unpainted":

This is how it looks my device actually:
(There's a bit of paint left, I'm trying to rub it too without scratching the bezel too much.
Glossy, glossy reflections everywhere
Looks pretty neat for me. Looks a lot like a Note 3. Why I bought this and not a Note 3? I really don't know... better screen I guess.
Post your coments below, thanks!
Doesn't look bad at all!

You did a pretty good job with your Note 4 and I don't blame you for going nuts on your friends. I hate people who treat other people's property like crap!
you should stop hanging out with this friend of yours.
I can't blame him 100% too. It was me who put my device without cover in my friend's hands. What I really can't understand is how the screen is completly fine. Looking at direct sunlight I can't see any (new) scratches and that's awesome!
Good job man. Were you and your friends drunk?
My friends know I'd go Hulk on them if they did that to my phone, none have ever dropped my phone, although I did drop one friend's phone when it was just a day old, was W850 Walkman back in 2007 in highschool, he didn't get mad though but I felt very bad, luckily those days you didn't have to worry about a screen crack, just had to pick the phone up and put the battery back in and close the batt. cover, good times.

We weren't drunk, at least I wasn't ... He's one of these people that when he drops his phone reacts like "meh, it's just a phone".. He owns a Galaxy Pocket and he usually treats his phone like that: a cheap, resistent phone. When he dropped MY device, he reacted like he usually do with his Pocket. That's my hypothesis about this situation.. I really don't care that much, the phone looks fine after all. I own a spare Note 4 with a fried motherboard. But looks like brand new from outside so if sometime it starts to look bad I'll replace it :good:
RESPECT
Bro, i respect you self control. Had my friend done that to my note 4... I would have choked him OUT! Looks good man!

Because of their size to the untrained eye a train appears to be going slower than it actually is. 8 or 9 out of 10 make this deadly error. You gauge a train's speed by stationary objects around it's path of travel. Telegraph poles or electric poles are convenient reference points. Error on the side of caution. Beware of the 2 or more trains at once on different tracks, the one you can't see can still kill you.
Don't trip on the tracks, ties or gravel holes as this can be a deadly mistake even with no train. The rails will break bones if you fall on them... always assume a train is coming. I've walked many miles on active lines starting at 6yo, still here.
