Casio EXILIM 5Mpix Clamshell on Verizon Wireless EXILIM Mobile Phone is Temperature and Water Resistant

Long known as Casio C721, Verizon Wireless have officially introduced
the new Casio EXILIM mobile phone. Dust, shock, temperature, and water
resistant, the pivoting EXILIM clamshell features a 2.3-inch swivel LCD
display (240×320 pixels), a 0.7-inch mono display on the outside,
along with a 5.1 megapixel camera with autofocus, image stabilization
and a 3x optical zoom.

But although it's not a Pre or an iPhone killer, the 5mpix Casio EXILIM
clamshell features a built-in media player, offers Bluetooth
connectivity, integrated GPS to go for Verizon's VZ Navigator service
and up to 8GB of memory on a microSD card. The new Casio EXILIM is
already available on Big Red but it's going to cost you a pricey $279.99
after a $50 rebate and on a 2 years contract.

iPhone? We'll let you decide …
