Verizon sets loose the Casio Brigade

We knew it was eventual going to happen, though a few days earlier than we were anticipating on the 14th, but Verizon has officially made avaliable the Casio G'zOne Brigade C741 through its web site for $249.99 after a $50 rebate with 2-year contract. The Brigade is the first PTT device that opens up to reveal an internal QWERTY keyboard for easier messaging. Features of the rugged phone include MIL Specs 810F for resistance to water, dust and shock, 2.9" 400x240 pixel resolution internal TFT display, 1.2" 128x96 pixel resolution PMOLED external display, 3.2MP autofocus camera with LED flash and flashlight mode, Document viewer (word, excel, powerpoint, pdf),  Bluetooth, music playback, 500 entry phonebook, 2.5mm headset jack, and supports microSDHC cards up to 16GB. One noticeable difference with this G'zOne device is that it's the first in the series to have an HTML browser, which also means that it will require a data plan of $9.99 or higher.
