Audiovox VM 4050 review
Not your typical cell phone, the tiny, stylish PCS Vision Video Audiovox VM 4050 by Toshiba gives PCS Vision customers the ability to record video and audio directly on their mobile phones, then e-mail it to anyone. Using External Picture Caller ID you can link a picture or downloaded graphic to the contacts in the phone's internal phone book and see who's calling without even opening the phone. The phone's built-in camera and camcorder let you take and send still images (at VGA, 640 x 480-pixel resolution) or up to 15-seconds of full-motion video. Easy to use, the auto-focus phone boasts a 260K, full-color screen (310 x 350 pixels). It also has 4x digital and 2x telescopic zooms for taking still photos. The handset features a sub-LCD slot so you can preview a picture before taking it, as well as a built-in self-timer. Choose from 17 different frames to make picture-taking fun. Save your videos on the phone or store them online. You can attach a 10-second voice message and text message to your video, and the handset stores up to 30 videos at once. An integrated camera/video light enhances both still pictures and video. The Audiovox VM 4050 features a spectacular 2.2-inch main LCD--a 260K, TFT, 18-bit color display--as well as an outside color LCD, which uses STN technology and supports 65K colors. A built-in speakerphone makes hands-free operation a cinch. Use the voice-memo feature to record reminders, save conversations, or record and use voices as ringers or alerts. The phone's Voice Guidance voice output provides spoken output of phone numbers, call logs, and other details (supports voice and text prompts in English and Spanish). A supplied standard rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 3.3 hours continuous talk time and up to 10 days of continuous standby time in digital mode, with up to 1.5 hours continuous talk and up to 15 hours continuous standby time in analog mode. When used with an extended rechargeable lithium-ion battery (not included), you get up to 4.5 hours continuous talk and up to 15 days continuous standby time in digital mode and up to 2.8 hours continuous talk and up to 30 hours continuous standby in analog mode. Express your personality with hundreds of unique downloadable polyphonic, animated, and voice ringers, including the latest music releases, show tunes, and sound effects which you can assign to specific incoming numbers. Other features include a personal organizer (with calendar, to-do list, alarm, timer, calculator, clock, and internal 300-slot phone book--up to five numbers for each entry), an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip necessary for using E911 emergency location services (where available), graphically enhanced single- and multi-player games, full-color graphic versions of popular Internet sites, compatibility with PCS Business Connection, and compatibility with select TTY devices.
