The
FCC today approved the Casio Hitachi NX9200, the U.S. version of Casio's
popular G'zOne phone. The phone, which takes both styling and engineering cues
from Casio's G-Shock watch line, sports a Verizon logo in FCC documents. The
Japanese G'zOne is a water-and-shock resistant, clamshell CDMA phone with a 1.3
megapixel camera, music player, and digital compass. The U.S. version adds EV-DO
high-speed data and a stub antenna.
