Verizon's G'zOne Type-S revealed by FCC

by Chris Ziegler posted May 23rd 2007 at 12:55PM

There have been intermittent reports of Verizon stores covertly selling these things for literally weeks now, so the dropping of confidentiality on the Casio G'zOne Type-S' FCC documents is more of a formality than anything else -- but be that as it may, the phone still hasn't managed to launch officially yet, so we figure this is still a notable event. The popular rumor is that we'll see it start to grace store shelves and websites in a more official capacity starting June 1, just a few short days away -- but considering the number of retail success stories we've already heard, but we'd recommend strolling down to your local Verizon hut now if you really want one of these waterproof wonders. Oh, and the camera resolution controversy? Solved -- it's merely VGA.

i know i'm missing the point of this phone completely...but it is pretty fugly. I'd prefer the old school looking Nextel Moto's that you could beat the crap out of.

I even saw this at BJs over the weekend...now if Verizon would start 'covertly' selling the Treo 755p.

My new every 2 is up in August, so far Verizon offers exactly 0 phones I have any desire to pick up. T-Mobile and a Pearl may be a calling I fear, coverage in the Metro-be-damned.

Dave, Verizon Wireless is about to come out with the 8830. It's better than a Pearl, use your NE2 on that.

Wow, two year old mobile tech wrapped is a water-resistant enclosure! How ... underwhelming. :P

Exactly- they should have released KDDI's W42CA instead. Of course, Casio may be saving that for KDDI Mobile.
