In addition to meeting rigorous testing standards, the G'zOne Type-V is
able to access some of the key services that Verizon Wireless customers have
grown to expect including V CAST, which gives customers access to high-quality
video clips from today's hottest content providers and 3D games right in the
palms of their hands. The phone also features a 2.0 megapixel camera so
customers can capture still and video images while on-the-go -- whether they
want a picture of the summit after a hike or the kids playing in the yard.

The G'zOne Type-V passed all of the following tests, performed in
accordance with Military Standards 810 degrees F, with all ports (battery,
headset and charging) on the phone closed and the antenna secured*:

    -- The Water Resistance test was performed in accordance with Method
       506.4, Procedure I. The G'zOne Type-V was subjected to this test with
       the handset open and closed, but with ports closed for 30 minutes on
       the front of the unit and then 30 minutes on the back of the unit. The
       test was designed to simulate rainfall of 2 inches per hour with a 40
       MPH wind.

    -- Immersion tests were conducted in accordance with Method 512.4,
       Procedure I.  The G'zOne Type-V was immersed in water for a period of
       30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter (3.28 feet), but with ports closed.

    -- The Humidity test was performed in accordance with Method 507.4.  The
       G'zOne Type-V tested for operation after the conclusion of the tenth
       cycle. Each cycle was 24 hours and the entire test was performed over
       ten days. The temperature was cycled between 86 and 140 degrees F with
       the relative humidity at 95 percent constant.

    -- The Salt Fog test was performed in accordance with Method 509.4. The
       G'zOne Type-V was subjected to 48 hours of salt solution of five parts
       by weight of Na CI in 95 parts by weight of de-ionized water with a
       chamber temperature of 95 degrees F.

    -- The Drop test was performed in accordance with Method 516.5, Procedure
       IV. The G'zOne Type-V was sequentially dropped in non-operating mode,
       onto each face, edge and corner for a total of 26 drops from a height
       of 1.50 meters (4.9 feet). The drop surface was defined as two-inch-
       thick plywood over a steel plate over concrete.

    -- The Vibration test was performed in accordance with Method 514.5,
       Procedure I, Category 24 for the non-operational condition. The G'zOne
       Type-V was clamped to an aluminum plate and subjected to the following
       levels of vibration: Non-Operational 0.04 g2 /Hz at 20-1000 Hz,
       -6 dB/Octave at 1000-2000 Hz, one hour/axis duration.

    -- The Solar Radiation test was performed in accordance with Method 505.4,
       Procedure I. The G'zOne Type-V was exposed to three 24-hour cycles with
       temperatures of 90 degrees F to 120 degrees F and solar intensities of
       1120 W/m(2).

    -- The Dust Resistance test was performed in accordance with Method 510.4,
       Procedure I. A temperature of 95 degrees F was used for this test.
       Silica flour as defined by the test standard was used.  Devices are
       given a passing grade when moving parts are not bound or blocked and if
       the unit powers on.
