Audiovox CDM8900 Cell Phone

Pros: Compact, Easy to Navigate Menus, Clarity, Reception, Phone Book
Cons: Limited (Included) Ring Tones

Recently it was evident that our current calling plan wasn't the best option for our family unit. We were satisfied with the service received from Verizon Wireless but knew that changes needed to occur. After browsing the online site and speaking to a ...

Pros: Ease of use, reception, phone book, camera, screen, price!
Cons: Some animations and sounds can't be changed, having to download only with Telus online.

I have owned my Motorola v120c for over 2 years now and recently I came to realize it is not quite cutting it anymore. I decided about a month ago that I needed to upgrade. Unfortunately, Aliant works here in Nova Scotia have been on strike for a ...

Pros: compact, lightweight, flip-phone with camera
Cons: unusable picture quality, poor battery life, useless speaker phone, quirky features that you can't disable

I've had my Audiovox CDM-8900 for about a year now, and I still have somewhat mixed feelings about it. I won't spend much time here detailing the standard features of this phone, as you've probably already read about them elsewhere. To review a ...

Pros: Small size, good battery life, big memory, packed with features
Cons: Packed with annoying features - try before you buy

My old Moto phone would no longer charge so I decided to get a new one, and the Audiovox CDM8900 looked sexy with camera and the color screen. The salesman said he had one - so how bad could it be? Well, not bad, but certainly annoying! First, the ...

Pros: It looks pretty with flashing blue lights
Cons: Frequently dropped calls; poor reception; sparratic powering off; random battery drainage

I bought this phone when it first came out and have had it for over 2 years. 2 years of frustration. Let me point out that two things are needed for me to be happy with a cell phone. 1. Good reception and call clarity *Failed 2. Good ...

Pros: Great phone, very durable, intuitive menus, good ringer, and decent speakerphone
Cons: Useless camera, and "Verizon Wireless" message every 5 seconds.

In December I purchased an Audiovox CDM8900 cellphone through the Verizon network for my wife. It was a Xmas present. I upgraded her Motorola T720 phone to this stylish new (at the time) color camera phone. Nowadays they are coming out with new phones ...

Pros: Great reception, many features, color screen, camera, voice dialing
Cons: Verizon banners, poor speakerphone, flat buttons

SEE UPDATE BELOW... We purchased two of these phones from Verizon and are basically happy with them. One phone had to be exchanged after it froze and would not recover. I can tell that the operating system on these phones is sensitive. Many ...

Pros: Many useful and handy features.
Cons: Hard to configure; high learning curve.

As other reviewers have given detail on the features themselves, I will focus on the problems I have had while using it. Configuring & using this phone is much more difficult than it ought to be. I wanted to like the phone since it does everything I ...

Pros: Great phone - Don't use Verizon
Cons: Verizon

I bought this phone only to experience a tremendous amount of stress. Verizon's software for the CDM8900 has a bug that WILL NOT allow it to receive ANY call from a blocked number. This means if the caller has elected to block their number from caller ID ...

Pros: call quality, battery, color screen, speakerphone
Cons: get-it-now, lack of customizablility, verizon banners

After my previous phone of two years, a Motorolla v120C, decided to stop receiving calls, I decided to take advantage of my upgrade and treat myself to a "trendy" new phone.Here are the basics. Flip phone, camera, speakerphone, calculator, world ...

Pros: Flashing lights, customizable look, easy to use, durable, good reception
Cons: Verizon Wireless banner, quiet ringtones, speakerphone is kinda sketchy

I love new gadgets and I get a new cell phone about every 6-9 months. When I was looking for my most recent upgrade, I was looking at the CDM8900 and the LG camera phone that Verizon has (don't know the number...vxsomething, i think). Anyway, I went ...

Pros: stylish, large bright screen, camera quality.
Cons: green lid screen.

I wasn't too sure about it when I first bought this phone. I loved the features but the plain old green screen on the cover sort of turned me off at first. After comparing it to the LG6900 I opted for this one. It's very unique, in that it doesn't have ...

Pros: Good reception, battery life, screen, camera, features
Cons: Speakerphone is horrible

I actually picked out this phone from among the speakerphones as I thought I'd like to have that capability. This one added lots of other nice features. I have now had it for about 7 months and while I still like it, I've found it pretty useless as a ...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Breaks

I purchased my phone through a deal at my office less than 1 year ago. I got the phone for free however, I had to sign a two year contract. I had been happy with the phone. It did everything I needed it to do. Unfortunetly, that was until about three weeks ago. I started out to run some errands and my phone would not power up. I went by the Verizon store and they said that the phone was dead and would need to be replaced. I had to go to another Verizon store to get a refurbished replacement phone.
I had my refurbished phone for about two weeks when Unlike my first phone all it would do was power up then cut off and power back up again. You had to take the battery off to stop this.

After about a week my third phone would power down then power back up. I called Verizons warrenty provider and told the guy that I was tired of the runaround. This model phone is just no good. He was very helpful and replaced the audiovox with a new Samsung phone.

Pros: Lots of stuff
Cons: reception, batt. life, call volume, quality

If you want a phone with a lot gimmicks and features, this is it. Too bad it doesn't work well as a phone. Call quality is Ok, but volume never seems to go loud enough. Reception is poor, about half as good as my previous motorola phone. Battery life is crap, too. If you talk a lot, it will barely make it through 1 day, again about half as good as my previous phone. Yes, it has a camera. Picture quality is ridiculously poor though, why bother? I am seriously thinking about activating an older phone someone gave me and junking this piece of crap.
