Audiovox CDM-8900
The Audiovox CDM-8900 is an older clamshell style phone that has now been discontinued by all of the major wireless carriers in the United States. It was a middle of the road phone when it was originally released, but now it lacks many of the features that are common to modern phones.
The Audiovox CDM-8900 operates on the CDMA network, so it can only be used in the United States. For roaming, AMPS over analog is employed. This feature is now useless due to the restructuring of the analog networks in the past two years. Data is transferred using the CDMA2000 network.
Measuring in at approximately three and a half inches by two inches by one inch, the Audiovox CDM-8900 is a decent sized phone. It also weighs only 93 grams, making it rather small and light.
Battery life on the Audiovox CDM-8900 is absolutely terrible. Expect to get only two and a half hours of talk time or 100 hours of standby time on a single charge. Less than half of what you would get from a modern battery.
The Audiovox CDM-8900 includes a main display that features 65 thousand colors and nine lines of text, making it somewhat impressive during its time. Also built in is a 0.3 megapixel digital camera.
The Audiovox CDM-8900 can connect to the Internet via its OpenWave browser. Furthermore, the cell phone can be connected to a computer via its USB port.
Other features found in the Audiovox CDM-8900 are: a phone book with a 300 name capacity, an alarm, a calendar, a calculator, voice dialing, a speaker phone, voice recording, and GPS support.
Pros
- Ahead of its time – 5 years ago
- Decent design
- Great device for collectors
Cons
- Dismal battery life
- Features are sub-par compared to modern phones
Overall
The Audiovox CDM-8900 would make an excellent backup device if modern day free phones didn’t completely overwhelm it in terms of features and battery life. If you already own one, save it. Otherwise, consider buying a new cheap phone instead of the Audiovox CDM-8900.
