Fascinating stuff! This is from the Oxford Dictionaries Language Matters..

Faze has no connection with the word phase and should not be spelled with a ph-, although this is a common error: almost a quarter of citations for the word in the Oxford English Corpus are for the incorrect spelling.

Of course, spellings/meanings do vary as time trundles on and words from 50+ years ago can have very different meanings these days.
