Just one day after we learned that the Casio Exilim C721 camera phone will launch by Verizon on June 10th, we now know what the pricing will be. Expect to pay a premium for having a phone with a rotating display (though only QVGA) and a 5MP camera with autofocus, flash, and a 3x optical zoom. Two year contract pricing will be $279.99 after a $50 rebate, $349.99 after rebate with a one year contract, and $449.99 full retail. With the enV Touch (and Dare) sporting a 3.2MP autofocus camera, and the Samsung Omnia with a 5MP cam, and at a lower cost, we're not sure how well the Exilim will end up doing. Just remember what happened with the 3MP Samsung FlipShot, first it was released for $199 (2 year), then a few months later increased to $299, and now is currently $99. We're not saying this is going to happen with the Exilim, but would you pay $279 for it? Let us know in the Comment section below.
