VIDEO: Casio EXILIM C721 Camera Phone For Verizon Wireless

We have always been mad after the Casio G’zOne line of rugged phones for Verizon Wireless. The Casio EXILIM C721 was exhibited at the CES 2009, so we were just waiting to hear more about this multimedia clamshell phone. This is the very first 5.1MP camera phone with a 3x optical zoom to be introduced by a US carrier.

Though it looks very much like the usual camera phone, it is actually very rugged and water resistant as well. The general form factor and the camera, though hyped so much, are not too impressive. What strikes us the most, though, is how tough the phone really is.
