Casio brings G'zOne to the states as NX9200

By Evan Blass

We've known for awhile now that Casio was planning to bring 3G phones to our shores, and now the FCC has revealed that Verizon will likely be introducing the company's ruggedized, water-resistant G'zOne clamshell.
Known as the Casio Hitachi NX9200 in the States, this 1.3 megapixel camerphone has apparently been quite popular in Japan, where they enjoy its music support, stop watch, and of course the external digital compass. Because Casio knows how much we love protruding antennae here in the U.S., they've added a stub model and EV-DO to the version on the FCC
site. As is usually the case with these filings, we get all of the tantalizing specs but none of the real hard deets we need to start planning our purchase.
