Audiovox CDM 9900 review
With an ultra-high-resolution main display, a color outer display, a camera with flash and video capture capability, 6.5 MB of internal memory, and a speakerphone, the CDM-9900 is a powerful mobile companion. For those looking for high-end features. Design The Audiovox CDM 9900 features a traditional clamshell design with a very large 240 x 320 color display with 260,000 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 secondary color LCD display on the back of the cover that displays incoming call information, picture IDs, 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 left side of the unit houses an extendable antenna while a charging port is housed on the unit's bottom edge. A 2.5mm headset jack is also provided, as is a USB-compatible data port. Calling Features The Audiovox CDM 9900 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 9900 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on digital networks, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas. Messaging and Internet The Audiovox CDM 9900 also covers all your messaging needs 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. Imaging and Entertainment 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. The camera also supports video capture of clips up to 15 seconds in length. Polyphonic ringtones are included with the phone.
