Verizon selling Casio Brigade on the downlow?

Published by author on March 10, 2010

It feels like the Brigade’s been in the public conscience for forever and a day (and let’s be honest, November is forever and a day ago by phone standards), but amazingly, Casio’s latest rugged G’zOne for Verizon still isn’t being offered — at least, not in any official capacity. It seems some HowardForums posters have managed to order and receive their Brigades by calling the carrier’s telesales directly, and a few uploaded shots of the boxed QWERTY clamshell is enough to have us believing it’s the real deal. For what it’s worth, this tends to happen pretty frequently with Verizon — they’ll start selling and shipping new devices over the phone a couple weeks before announcing availability or offering them via the web — so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that we’re going down the same road again here, and a few brick and mortar locations have apparently started to take delivery, too.
