Hi everyone. Someone may have already answered this question, but it regards the Audiovox CDM-8900 phone for Verizon wireless. So what's the deal with the Audiovox CDM-8900 phone? Are there problems with getting good reception/signal with this phone? Are there only problems with this phone in certain areas?
I am asking these questions because I am thinking about getting this phone; I live in California. I read that it also has the two-way speakerphone capability. When using the speakerphone, does it project loud and clear sounds?
So, if anyone knows what the deal is, please reply back to this message board. Thanks.

BTW, have a Happy New Year!!!

I seen on the howard forum that you bought the new moto v60s, and that you used to have the Lg vx3100 . i am not sure which phone to get myself , was the vx3100 ok and what makes the moto v60s better . thanks for any info

This phone is active in Asia and expected testing in U.S. will begin in June/July 2004. Please note, not all phones make it into production and this is only a test for the phones capability on The Verizon Wireless network.

A cellular phone is now available that lets you listen to music, record video and even control certain electronic products. Samsung's new camcorder phone, capable of storing up to two hours of video streams, is slated to be tested in the U.S.

A music player button is installed on the outside of the unit, allowing the user to listen to downloaded music files in stereo without having to first open the phone. Music-related functions include Stop, Skip, and Repeat, and Random Play.

The SCH-V410 can store up to 30 dow...

This is for everyone needing to know about Nokia and what issues they face on the CDMA Network, where their vision of the future is headed, and helps explain why Verizon Wireless looks at Nokia to improve the phones on the CDMA side.

From CDG (CDMA Development Group)...

During the second half of 2003, Nokia's CDMA business reached a number of new milestones relating to both handsets as well as next-generation technology development. During this timeframe, Nokia has begun shipments of handsets to a group of the world's leading CDMA operators, helping to double Nokia's global CDMA market share during the year. In addition, lab tests and live demonstrations of cdma2000 1xEV-DV technology have helped move this new technology many st...

Does future dial USB cables work with any other apps besides there software?


Thanks!

First let me start by saying i am completely happy w/ the service Verizon provides.

My question is for any verizon or cell phone rep that has insight to my thoughts. My biggest concern w/ verizon is that they dont have the latest and greatest when it comes to their handsets. My question is why? Now i have to believe they have done research on what the consumers want and when they want it. I also have to believe they know there are many many people like me w/ this same dissatisfaction. So, i can only come up w/ two possible reasons verizon is behind the tech curve...

1. Do they have contracts w/ cell phone manufacturers (Audiovox, LG, etc.) that say they wont sell a similar product (camera phone for example) for a period of time...

My Motorola V60, that I've had for over a year, is not working at my desk. It shows full signal strength, but does not ring, or rings, than disconnects. My co-worker sits nex to me with his LG4400 (another with a StarTac) - both get perfect reception. I went to the local Verizon store, they updated the software - no changes.

Should I ask Verizon to exchange the phone? I am willing to bear the cost of new accesories, but I am not buying a new phone or resigning my contract.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm sort of looking into switching to Verizon, but a few questions lay in my mind.

-The main one being that, Verizon doesn't seem to ever have new phones. Its as if they don't want to support the newest technology, cant, or aim for a less-tech-crazed audience. I'm a power user and want the latest and greatest even if somewhat user unfriendly. Is this just not verizons strategy? Will they ever support more cutting edge hardware that other companies seem to excel in? (ex: TREO)
A related question is: do phones that use the same network technology as verizon (or other companies) WORK on their networks, even if they don't SUPPORT it?

-Why no J2ME @ Verizon? I'm going to learn it in school soon, want to use it, and it sounds more open sta...

Digdah...

I have personally used and tested the Samsung SPH-i700. I found this phone to be the closest thing that a corporate user will need, if using Verizon Wireless as the carrier, but still has some "family-oriented" features.

I prefer PalmONE devices for stability, but this Samsung uses Windows powered PocketPC. Some corporate users like Windows powered phones because they can store and sync documents from work to home and vice-versa.

I do like this phone, but was overkill for what I needed. A lot of executives use it though.

Wrong forum, I apologize.

Big Poppa, any idea when they'll be putting the 8900 back on the shelves. My local stores (Boston, MA) said not till mid-January, and the guy at the 800 number said even though the phone appears on the website with a Santa Barbara zip code, the transaction "probably wouldn't go through". He also said they had instructions not to sell any more of these phones under any circumstances until they hear otherwise.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

I live in northern New Jersey and I travel into the lower part of southern New York state as well as Lake George NY. Do I need a tri-mode phone or will the vx6000 be ok.

Does anyone have any idea when another ptt phone will come out. This is the first thing that Verizon has done to approach Nextel in the work related area with the instant connect. I just don't like the V60 for many reasons. Any input would help. Thanks!

Our company recently switched our sales force over to Verizon from ATT. I have been getting complaints from them that they are not getting voicemails for hours even days (4days!) later. Thinking maybe it was something to do with the Samsung phones I called Verizon. The Verizon rep informed me that yes this is very possible with any phone and is due to going in and out of their network and delays of a few days are possible!!!!!! What!!! What is the point of having voicemail if you get it days after it was sent! Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way around this? I find this to be totally unacceptable for business use if this is the case.

Moobak, those are your facts.
Maybe hard to swallow, but are true

There is a new software version ALREADY out for the Audiovox CDM-8900 tri-band camera phone.

Some stores pulled the phones from their inventory and shelves, per Audiovox, UNTIL the phones were flashed with the software. If you purchased this phone, check with your local Verizon Wireless retail store (with a technician) and see if your phone needs updated.

I will post the new version number and what it fixes tomorrow.

I have been going over Vrz's website, and it seems to me that they are hurting for (new phones.)
I'm an ATTWS customer, and I wanted to sign up with Verizon, but their phones look so cheap!
They spend billions on their network, but they don't seem to have anything left for their phones.
Don't they know Nokia out sells motorola by a least 2 to 1.
(And by the way I have gone to their stores and I have held their phones, durability doesn't seem to be a big concern of theirs.)

just looking to see how everyone likes the new V60s , any pros or cons on the phone so far.Was thinking about getting one

I'm going to be signing up on a National Access 400 plan, that would allow me to use the time for either data or voice. Does anyone know if the V60S can be used as a modem for National Access (EN)? I really like my V60i so this would use all of my cables bateries etc.
Thanks,

steve

Is it worth getting the v60s or keep the LG 3100?

Thanks!
