Tough phones, Casio Boulder vs Rock

[MLC]

I currently am on my second Boulder and just saw that Casio release a 3rd gen G'zone phone called the Rock.
Does anyone have experience with the Rock?
I'm happy with the Boulder but the Rock I handled had a couple fixes that I preferred, mainly a less slippery exterior and a keypad that I can use to text without looking at the phone.
My concern is the tendency for companies to use an established name to peddle inferior successors.
Thoughts?

If they were available when I bought mine I would have gone the ur G'Zone route.

I have a samsung rugby have had it for almost 7 months now had it under running water, thrown it across the yard open, fell off my truck going down my dirt road this is one strong phone and it works good to has good reception I got the yellow model so
I could see it better. There are some good videos out there on several different models and they get pretty hard on these tough phones The new motorola is good from what I hear.

FWIW I've read a bunch of lousy reviews of the Rock.
I'll stick with the Boulder until I trust my self to own a android/iphone.
