I believe that's the Audiovox 8920, which they tell me is a megapixel camera phone. I'm not sure, though. It's hard to get straight answers out of Audiovox; this is the company who announced the 8910 as a megapixel phone, then a few days later said "oops, it's actually VGA". 🙄 So who knows...

well it certanly does look like a spint model, has the sprint stanardized charger and standardized head set., how ever the the back plate is definately not a consumer model. this is my openion, i think that phone is strictly proto type.

Well, of course, things like styling can and do change prior to release, but for what it's worth, this exact phone was on display in the Audiovox booth at CES as the Audiovox 8920 - Sprint logo and all. That is the same model Audiovox now says will be their first megapixel camera model.

It's made by Curitel, the same company that makes the Audiovox 8900 for Verizon, hence the similar internal and rear appearance. "TX-95C" was the Curitel model number for that phone.

What makes you think this looks like a prototype, BTW?

that back label makes it look like a proto type model. fore one it does not have an esn, just a serial number and secodn of all it is white not black. but the lack of an esn means that it is not a sprint phone. yes it does have a sprint logo on it and yes every thing about it says sprint. it is my openion that it is just a concept phone, a phone audiovix built to market to sprint.

the way it works is that audiovox builds a phone then it tests it out in it's labs. once that happends they then send iot off to sprint to test if sprint likes it they are given prototypes to test out. but those prototypes still have the clasic black label along with esns. and i know this for first hand because i deal with the developers on a regular baises

I look at a lot of FCC test photos, and they all have labels that look like that. Sometimes the labels are actually hand-written, or there is no physical label at all. It's a testing sample, which puts it somewhere past prototype stage, but before final version.

Anyway - whatever the reason, the kind of label you're seeing is standard for a phone being tested for FCC approval - they almost never have real labels.
