Guide Review - Audiovox CDM8900 camera phone Review

The Audiovox CDM8900 camera phone features voice notes, it has a maximum rated standby time of 212 hours and a talk time of 193 minutes -- which is fine but could be better, it weighs only 3.5 oz., it supports analog roaming, it includes a camera, sports a TFT color display with 65,000 colors, and it can store 300 phone book entries. That makes it a quite interesting camera phone as the good TFT display and the 32 MB of memory allow for comfortable camera use.

However, the Audiovox CDM8900 camera phone has its drawbacks. It is not Bluetooth-enabled nor does it support infrared communication, an odd design choice for a camera phone with which users would legitimately want to transfer some pictures to their PC, and as far as I know, it doesn't allow free do-it-yourself ringtone customization. Please note that I haven't personally tried the Audiovox CDM8900 camera phone yet, this review is based on a technical analysis of the phone features and the comments received from our users.

Among comments received: Denny Vega likes the fact that the Audiovox CDM8900 camera phone "has a stop watch, among other well known extras as calculator, calendar" but he dislikes the fact that one can't receive a call when snapping a picture. Doyle R. Hill is pleased with the CDM8900 but he thinks the speakerphone volume is finicky: "Sometimes it is loud enough, sometimes not," he says.
