NEW YORK, NY 3/11/10 – The new CASIO G'zOne (pronounced Jeez-wun) Brigade™** possesses the latest innovations in rugged wireless devices. For most well-connected consumers, text messaging has become a viable form of communication for both personal and business matters. As the first water- and shock-resistant messaging device in the U.S. marketplace, the CASIO G'zOne Brigade™ embraces this need for connectivity and brings reliability and toughness to a wider audience.

Beyond its resilient construction, the CASIO G'zOne Brigade™ is a tool for ever-increasing productivity. With a full HTML browser and document viewer for reviewing Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and PDFs, the Brigade is the perfect device to maintain both business communication and personal contact on the go. A perfect tool for multitasking, the CASIO G'zOne Brigade™ introduces the text-to-speech function, which allows users to listen to their text messages, multimedia messages and emails.

The advanced 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash captures images under the harshest conditions. For professional-grade photos, the CASIO G'zOne Brigade™ features BestShot™, a function with six preset modes that automatically changes the camera's settings based on the background, and auto focus (spot, nine-point and face detection), a quick performance tool that minimizes blur caused by shaky hands or a moving subject.

Additionally, the Brigade is fully equipped with multimedia features, stereo Bluetooth™, music player and MicroSD memory expansion (up to 16 GB) for image storage and music on the go.
