In these days of jetset world travel, you think it would be easier to take your gadgets with you wherever you go. Of course, everyone who’s ever tried to get service in a foreign country or received a three digit phone bill after a foreign vacation knows the truth: traveling with the average mobile phone is not a cheap venture. Though this problem has been solved with the introduction of dual mode CDMA/GSM phones, the only option for Verizon or Sprint customers was an expensive smart phone with a lot of high tech features. Until now, that is.

The Verizon Wireless Escapade is a cheap solution to the trekker’s telephone troubles. Priced at only $29.99 with a two year contract, its features are nothing jaw dropping or new, but it’s compact, lightweight, and fully functional all over the world. For those world explorers who like to travel light, it’s a solid choice in mobile phones.

Verizon Wireless Escapade Quick Stats:

• Dimensions: 3.9” x 1.9” x .9”
• Weight: 3.4 oz
• Resolution: 176 x 220 pixels
• Camera: 2 MP

The Escapade is a study in simplicity, from its basic design to its pared down features. It includes all the basics you expect on your mobile phone these days, a calendar, a stopwatch, and a notepad being just the few. I thought the unit converter and the world clock functions were especially good inclusions for the intended target audience of this product. Additionally, it offers a few more advanced options, like voice dialing and a simple but good quality digital camera.

As an added attraction, call quality both to and from the Escapade is remarkable, even when using the speakerphone feature. While nothing about this mobile phone is new, every feature is quality. That difference, plus the low price, easily makes traveling with the Escapade an easy experience.
