looks like a pretty sweet phone
What phone are you looking at?
The one in the picture above maybe?
I kind of have an inside feeling that this is going to steal the Storm's thunder ! ;)
Only if this phone gets released tomorrow for 150.00$ on a 2 year contract.
I kind of have an inside feeling that it'll be Verizon who's gonna steal its thunder...
I wish Verizon also nabs the W63CA. Been dreaming of owning one since it featured in Engadget. English UI and US radio frequencies with an 8.1 mp cam doesn't come by very often. If Verizon does get it, it would be a runaway success, but there's a huge "if" involved. :(
as much as i like casio cams, not feeking it. not the first time a camera company partners with cell carrier to roll this oout.its old news,but will be interesting to see.almost guaranteed that will tank hard here in the usa.,save this in email..,dont know bout u but i know this casio will not replace my sony dsct300
storms thunder went from a category 6 to a light shower in 30 days,has fizzled. Had one of highest 30 day customer unsatisfaction rate .seems like aimed more to compete towards top camera cells,. Doubt it will have full HTML true multitouch accelorometer ambient light sensor etc,.,.or else will be taking aim at u know what phone ,.the one that has set the standard by which touchphones r now measured,.

I generally refrain from posting about the "benchmark phone", because i know it will turn into a troll feed fest. But here goes.
I am just way too horrified to know how so many people just fail to see the iPhone's hardware shortcomings. I have used it, I do love the UI and I've experienced the feel good factor but I would never get one. Its an overpriced piece of technology for the primitive hardware it presents. I'm pretty darn sure if this to be a competition for the iPhone, it would lose. Sad, but true.
how do you pronounce Exilim? is it "ecks-zil-im"?
How long does it take after the FCC notice until a phone is released (on average)? When do you think this phone will launch?
Thanks
Pronounced as "Asylum," I'm sure.
In my generic phonetic version without special keys, ecks-ih-lim. "-ilim" rhymes with "-illai" in villain. not ecks-uh-lum.
@$k wow so if $99 too much for u,.I feel sorry for u,.
$k is saying that iPhone is overpriced at $99,does anyone disagree with him????
Or is he right,.
I come to this site every day, and almost every day I find another comment by Shugg that makes me want to hurt something.
ur comments have no true content.,may i suggest anger managemet.dee dee deee
My god are you worthless, may I suggest a painful death? hee hee heee
Cool! Shame casio chose verizon, but that's how they roll in japan.
OS please?
Finally, a phone with a decent camera and by that I mean the size of the sensor and the quality, 5.1 MP is just about enough, but what matters is how the quality comes out. I have a Samsung Omnia and although the pictures are spectacular in broad daylight or bright enough, the quality immensely drops indoor and in the night and thats where the size/quality of the sensor comes into play.
Hardware is only as good as the software running on it. The iPhone isn't really special in terms of hardware, but the way the different features work together is something I haven't seen in many other handheld devices.
I hope the casio phone does more than take photos. Even with great lenses and lots of megapixels it doesn't make sense as a phone rather than an information appliance or a stand alone camera.
Why don't you just rename your site to "CellPhones & a little bit of other stuff"?
welcome to america, when you'll always be 2 steps behind japanese gadgets.
no offense of course. just stating an (unfortunate) truth
hey im japanese!
while yes, america is 2 steps behind japanese gadgets, in japan you pay a hell lot more then you would if/when the same thing came to america, or what you could get in america.
the price of staying current i guess?
is it just me or does that top pic look like the phone is broken or something ?_?
idk the screen kinda looks scratched up and/or dented and broken
I thought this too. Anyone care to explain what we're looking at?
Looks like they've liscense Leica for the camera innerds or lenses.
Japan maybe be advanced 2 years ahead in terms of phones, but America leads the way in cellphone plans.
I guess that this model is similar to W63CA, but doesnt have 8 mega pixel cam.

does verizon have any decent phones out right now? my contract is up and i have a moto slvr which is on its last legs... my buttons peeled off and i can't even read what they are, and when people try and use my phone i have to dial for them because i'm used to it.
but really, what good is verizon's service when the phones are terrible?
The SLVR was not a great phone. Try an LG phone that is not a Chocolate. Much better.
