The Audiovox CDM8900 from Verizon Wireless might look like just another flip-phone, but its Internet and data capability, integrated camera, voice-activated dialing, and tri-mode operation are just some of the features under the hood that make this phone a winner. The CDM8900 definitely has it where it counts and this slim companion will get you plugged into the latest cell phone technology.
The phone features a traditional clamshell design with a 128 x 160 TFT color display with 65,000 colors. The rear of the flip-up cover houses a camera that can snap shots at 640 x 480 resolution, also known as VGA resolution. There's also a small 95 x 64 secondary black and white LCD display on the back of the cover that displays incoming call information, network signal strength and more. Most camera features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. Meanwhile, the top right side of the unit houses an extendable antenna while data and charging ports are housed on the unit's bottom edge. Blue lights on the right and left sides of the handset can be set to flash when a call is incoming.
The CDM8900 has all the latest calling features folks have come to expect. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. There's also a built-in address book that can store up to 300 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the CDM8900 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Verizon's digital networks, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas.
The CDM8900 also covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text and picture messages. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
Plenty of good times are built right into this handset. Its VGA camera makes it easier than ever to snap good pictures and share them with friends via picture messaging. Fifteen ringtones are included with the phone and there are plenty more to be had using Verizon's Get It Now service.
The Audiovox CDM8900 weighs 3.28 ounces and measures 3.4 x 1.8 x 0.75 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 2.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 103 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the AMPS 800/CDMA 800/CDMA 1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
