I am on my 2nd casio and I love them. I have had my brigade since it was released in 09 and it still has plenty of life in it. I want to stick with that line of phones, they have never let me down.
Which model did you have burly?
I had the second gen model, I think it was called the G'zone S. Before the Ravine came out. I've dropped it from 30 feet high onto concrete. More than once. lol. The thing kept ticking.
