Jealous of all the cute little flip phones, yet at the same time I wouldn't trade this one. <br />My phone has been through everything. It has seen the pavement more than my car. The antenna is broken. It was used as a chew toy for a 18 month old. Yet the phone works just as good as it did on day one. I still get awesome service. I hardly think any cute flip phone would still be working as well had it seen the same conditions as this one.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=7092#review7092 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=7092#review7092 Wed, 08 Dec 2004 14:08:56 GMT <p><i>Ciaran123456 submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is very trust worthy. It was my last phone and know I have the Motorola V551 another great phone. This phone is much better though. I had the phone for 2 years and its amazing. I still have , but im trying to sell it, I`ll almost take anything for it. If you want to buy it just contact me. Only if your Canada though, it`s on Telus Mobility. I don`t know what those people were talking about saying it was bad and all.Shame on them!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=6858#review6858 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=6858#review6858 Sat, 27 Nov 2004 17:21:30 GMT <p><i>kloxphone submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone just plainly sucks. <br /><br />Pros:<br />?<br /><br />Cons:<br />to little of a space to fit it in.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=5425#review5425 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=5425#review5425 Wed, 01 Sep 2004 03:31:20 GMT <p><i>scipio7 submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had a Nokia CDM8300 registered to Telus in British Columbia, Canada.<br /><br />Although the fones menu was easy enough to read the ring-tones selection is dismal for people who don't want to annoy everyone around or pay extra cash to download ring-tones. <br /><br />This fone felt cheaply made as did a similar model Audiovox I had four years earlier. The silver accents quickly began to scratch off.<br /><br />The toggle/joy stick is the highest point on the fone and also the volume set. Dumb idea. So, if you forget to lock the fone (or just don't like having to unlock your fone all the time) this is the most annoying fone ever! It was known as my "ass-ringer" by my friends.<br /><br />Audio often sounded tingy, compressed and garbled. As this is a CDMA fone and I had used it in various places at various times of day and night with the same results I believe this to be the fault of the fone and not the network.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=5009#review5009 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=5009#review5009 Thu, 05 Aug 2004 21:04:47 GMT <p><i>bethadee submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is horrible in just about every way possible. Sure, it gets reception pretty much everywhere, but this is no help when it drops calls on a daily basis. The sound is terrible, sometimes there is a lot of echoing and other times it just sounds like the person on the other line is really far away. If you actually want to talk to someone, don't get this phone. It is awful.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=4156#review4156 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=4156#review4156 Thu, 13 May 2004 12:48:27 GMT <p><i>er4smiths submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This has got to be the worst phone ever made. Feels like a toy in your hand. I am definitely switching to a flip top.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=2794#review2794 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=2794#review2794 Fri, 14 Nov 2003 19:16:26 GMT <p><i>kateoct submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I previously had an an LG 510 (most worthless phone ever IMO), so this phone is an improvement. I've had it for a while, and it's held up really well since I'm hard on phones. I don't know if you could break this phone very easily....<br /><br />PROS<br />-Small non-flip phone<br />-Looks sleek<br />-Good signal strength (VZW, NorCal)<br /><br />NEUTRALS<br />-Battery life is ok. I can get 2-3 days on standby and 1-2 days medium-talk time<br />-External, extendable antenna<br /><br />CONS<br />-The multi-directional button in the middle: I can NEVER get it to do what I want. Sometimes, it takes you somewhere else all together....even when you hit it the right direction...<br />-Not a single "professional" sounding ring in the whole phone<br />-Get It Now disabled: Can't download any rings to replace the crappy ones it has<br />-Phone is not reactive/quick to get where you want it to go. Click on something, and it takes a few seconds for it to respond (even when you hit the END button!)<br /><br />I'm looking to upgrade my phone. I wouldn't recommend this phone unless you don't need alot of functionality (aka - your mom will be using it)...</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=2727#review2727 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=2727#review2727 Sun, 02 Nov 2003 10:10:37 GMT <p><i>bawb3t3a submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>A very classy looking phone and very slim. The soft non-slip rubber keys are very nice to work with. A decent sized screen for surfing and SMS. It holds a strong signal even better than previous audiovox phones, I've never had a dropped call. But that's where the good features stop.<br /><br />The audio quality on this phone is the worst I've ever heard. Upgrading from my first generation analog/dual mode phone was a huge step down in sound quality. Both incoming and outgoing sound very gritty and compressed. I'm often embarassed having to make people repeat things. People often sound like fogs through this phone.<br /><br />My phone was loaded with the Canadian Telus firmware. No normal ring tones to be found. Many bugs exist that cause you to get bumped out of an SMS message during incoming call, stuck in circles when going through menus and volume issues. For such a classy looking phone, why load it up with ring tones like jingle bells? All I want is one normal ringer.<br /><br />The joystick is very hard to use, you end up pressing it in when you mean to press it left or right, causing you to select things you didnt mean to. Audiovox has removed this useless from future phones (thank you)<br /><br />Overall this phone LOOKS great, has good signal, and is a wonderful device to hold and use for sms (when you're not bumped out of sms by an incoming call). But when used as a phone, it just doesn't cut it. After all making phone calls is it's primary function and if it can't do that well, then I can't give it a good rating. I'll be getting a new phone this month.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=1134#review1134 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=150&r=1134#review1134 Wed, 26 Feb 2003 16:22:15 GMT <p><i>Rafale submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Overall this phone is good but it has no games and it's joystick is a serious design flaw.
