Casio's 8.1 megapixel W63CA with 480 x 800 pixel OLED flips out in Japan

We had a chance to gaze through the wireframe of this 8.1 megapixel Casio W63CA Exilim cellphone back in August courtesy of the FCC's finest. Now check it in high-gloss, plastic flesh. The latest Japanese super-phone squeezes 480 x 800 pixel into a 3.1-inch OLED display. Let that sink in for a second... the very same 384,000 pixels on a display smaller than the 3.8-inch LCD heralded by the Touch HD. The camera features a wide-angle lens, 9-point auto focus, face detection, anti-shake, and a YouTube video mode that records VGA video at 30fps to microSD. All this in a Japanese-only flip measuring 110 x 50 x 17.4 ~ 22-mm when it launches in early November.

Is it GSM? Ooh I'd like to get it unlocked! I used to own a Sharp V903 that was unlocked. Now I use an unlocked Nokia N95-3.

CDMA only, not to mention it's R-UIM only, so you can't get it activated on Verizon. Additionally, it has a non-standard ESN (a standard ESN is generated when roaming).

You do realize that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has the same resolution screen (800x480) and is only 3.0". The best part of this screen, that you should have been stressing, is the fact that it is OLED and not LCD so it will use much less power (read longer battery life) and be of better quality.

Just a little constructive criticism to help you hone your journalistic, er blogging, skills.

Cheers!

Yes... but it has WinMo. Give me something easier to use. Oh, and the 8.1MP camera.
