Phone

Mountain climbers, kayakers, and just plain klutzes now have a cell phone that can keep up with their risk-filled lifestyle. Built to military specifications, Verizon’s new G’zOne Boulder can withstand rain, dust, fog, humidity, shock, and even your butterfingers. That would be good news if we were planning a climb up a Rocky mountain or a hike in Yosemite National Park. For our part, we’re just glad it will survive an accidental dunk in the kitchen sink. The Boulder’s other built-in features—push-to-talk compatibility, an mp3 player, 1.3 megapixel camera, electronic compass, and flashlight—make it truly rock. $130
