I'm suprised that more people aren't on this forum. this phone will have the best looking screen and and it will have a great voice recorder as well as a sleek look. And it will most likely come out first.

It all depends on the person I guess. I'd rather have the 7000 or wait for the 8000

and you have used this phone when? How can you make such claims based on marketing hype? Hey... I have a bridge to sell you. Of course it aint built yet but the drawings look great, lights toll booths so you can make your money back. Interested? You seem like the kind of guy who would be! 😳

funny, I have not used this phone either but I would not argue against him. Lets see his claims....

1. Best Looking Screen...
-well, if you look at the specs of this phone and compare it to others, one might derive that this phone has a better looking screen. Similar to how you might think a HDTV enabled tv compared to non hd-tv, might have a better picture, then again, i've never owned a hdtv so I guess I should not argue that?

In addition, sprint users of this phone clone repeatadly talk of how great the screen is. Also, people other than myself, who have claimed to have seen this phone, argue the same.


2. Great voice recorder.
-well, i feel like that one is hard to argue, and is rather subjective..although i value his o...

The past bridge which held up fine, is the Audiovox CDM-9500. I have seen the 9950 at a Sprint location and it does indeed look great and it builds on where the 9500 left off, the 9600 got canceled. Anyway, I don't consider the 9950 flimsy or cheap plastic either. I am just waiting for months for the "Verizon 9900 Version". The wait gets a little dis-spiriting

So the 9900 is the best phone of the bunch? OK. Let's start with Audiovox as a company. I've been in retail for the electronics industry for quite some time now and have been watching production trends ever since. Simply put, Audi makes a cheaper alternative for everything. Generally packed with features and half the price of the rest. I'm not gonna cite specifics, but take a gander around Best Buy and you'll see what I mean. Hence, my trust in the company has already dissolved.

Now for direct comparison, lets put the 9900 in the bullpen against, say, the LG VX8000 (obviously, my personal favorite).

Display: Apparently the LG has 2K more colors on the internal display and thus has the same contrast as the VX6000 (which happens to ha...

ok..
if your going to compare the 9900 to an LG how about comparing it to an LG thats coming out the same time as the 9900..(vx7000). i would hope that the vx8000 is going to be a better phone than the 9900 considering it is about 3-4 months away from release. i think the only reason you didnt compare the 9900 to the vx7000 is because the 9900 will kick the **** out of the vx7000...lets make a more realistic comparison next time

EXACTLY, well said bakerr26!!!PS- If youre gonna say that the 8000 kicks the 9900s ass (which we all agree)and u may as well wait the 2 extra months, Why not then wait 2 additional months and get the nokia 6255 which will kick the **** outta the 8000? I mean theres always gonna b newer, better if u wait, but who has that kinda patience? The bottom line here is that the 9900 (made by toshiba BTW) is better probably than the current crop of video phones.

You have to be kidding me. I already explained why the comparison was proper, but do you seriously want to bring Nokia into this!??? 🙄 Since I'm sure you're alone on this one I hardly even care to go any further, but anyways, I think th...

Likewise, eljefe. Try adding some merit to your replies next time rather than simply hating on a debate.

First of all, you never clarified which phones to include in your comparison...

Also, I'm curious....does the LG VX8000 have analog roaming capability like the Audi 9900? Traveling in rural areas this is important.

Before asking these types of questions, why don't you just check the specs on the phone right here in Phonescoop! It tells you all of the features of the phone, and other phones too. 😕

😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

It won't be the 15th and it won't be the 25th. Nobody at 611 or the stores has even heard of the 9900. Audiovox has, I called them, but they say it is up to VZN. Personally, I have had it w/ VZN, there current phone selection stinks and price plans aren't really great either. By the time VZN gets around to releasing this phone it won't really be "state of the art" anymore, however, I guaratee VZN will price it like it is.

I agree with you. The stores and 611 have no info whatsoever on the 9900. The stores do know about the 710 and the LG 7000. On Saturday when I was getting the antenna replaced on my antique V60i, I was told the the release of...
