It's branded as the "Verizon G'zOne Type-V." All the physical labels on the phone say Casio. UT isn't mentioned anywhere on the phone.
I like it. I've had several requests for a rugged CDMA phone from various people in my time, and I like the G-Shock look on the front. I'd buy it for my wife, who has dropped phones from time to time. if we didn't just get a pair of Motorola E815s for ourselves. Also, the waterproofness is real, and it takes photos and video underwater, which is kind of awesome. (Check out my slideshow in the review above.)
Bluetooth is a sad omission but not fatal for a product like this with such a unique feature. And I wouldn't expect it on Sprint at all; it sounded to me like Verizon, UTStar and Casio worked together as a sort of special project to bring this to the US.
