😢 we're all gonna miss you. One of the best phones I ever owned was the vx4000. Even though you haven't made anything that good ever since my heart goes out to you

Actually, they're even more of a real company than AT&T Wireless. AT&T Wireless will eventually be fully absorbed by Cingular. I don't think that is the case here.
This is still the same company they were before, just with a different name and corporate owner. They were a subsidiary of Audiovox; now they are a subsidiary of UTStarcom.
The difference, and reason for the transaction, is that Audiovox didn't actually make phones. UTStarcom does. ACC was always at a disadvantage before, because they were going after the same business as Nokia, etc., but had to rely on other companies to actually make the phones.
Now they will be doing what they have always done, except they will have their own line of phones, designed and manu...
