Was on Verizons network so pretty much always has coverage.<br /><br />CONS:<br />Battery life from the start. This thing was absolute junk. I knew I was in a 2 year contract, but if I wasn't I would've honestly tossed this in a flash and upgraded. It also wore off. I had grayish paint on the front because the silver was already wearing off 5 months into original purchase of the phone. I didn't even drop this phone in that timeline. I think you should stay clear away from this phone.</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=18997#review18997 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=18997#review18997 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 18:49:46 GMT <p><i>SpeedDemon submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Phone was great at first, being my first phone period, but after a few months it started having problems. first the OK button stopped working properly.<br />After that came the screen, at first it just took a restart, but soon after i had to start tweaking the top half of the clamshell to get it on again until is just stopped working. wasn't too bad since i had my contacts already in so i could see who was calling on the external display, but once that went i threw it out the window. literally.<br /><br />i give it a 1.0 because it took a beating while i had it and still made/received calls, until the antenna started acting up.<br /><br />PROs:<br />-Durable<br />-screen was bright (when it worked)<br />-compact<br /><br /><br />CONs:<br />-Cheap<br />-speaker phone got softer over time.<br />-easy to loose the rubber cover for charger.

Can you believe that you may only call ONE (!) last dialed number. For the rest you have to press 10+ times various buttons although up/down buttons, that are used in other phones to scroll over the list of last dialed nubers ARE NOT ASSIGNED TO ANYTHING. Can you believe? <br />- You gotta be careful during text messaging - I locked my phone twice accidentally (! designers are drug-addicts I bet). I am not a keen of text messaging, used just several times and been trapped twice.<br /><br /><br />Resume: not the phone you want to buy.<br /><br />Personally, after this experience there is no such company as Audiovox for me. Never gonna buy their products, fed up.</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=17897#review17897 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=17897#review17897 Mon, 24 Jul 2006 19:49:46 GMT <p><i>supermanatv submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The only thing I can say good about the CDM 8600 is it is small.

The screen completely died on me after everyday use. It was not dropped off a 3 story building or anything. It was replaced because it was still under warranty. The new phone worked fine for a bit but again slowly developed the same problem. I would go days without a screen if it was tossed onto the bed. I was going to stick it out until I was able to upgrade but then had complete shutdown and could not receive or send calls. If it a call did manage to go through, it would last about 15 seconds before the call was lost. All while I had full service. I live in a city and rarely had service problems with Verizon so it was the phone dropping the calls. I eventually gave up and got a new phone.</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=14824#review14824 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=14824#review14824 Sat, 28 Jan 2006 17:05:29 GMT <p><i>CeLLpHoNeCrAzY submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>good stable phone.<br />volume sucked.<br />overall ok.</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=13826#review13826 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=13826#review13826 Thu, 15 Dec 2005 22:56:37 GMT <p><i>Bandu submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I now have this phone for about 4 months now, and I am ready to throw it away.

I will admit I have dropped it about once on my floor carpet but that is all. <br /><br />The battery life is pretty decent, i have seen better. Fun to have a speaker phone, but not worth it. <br /><br />This phone starts to fall apart after awhile, my computer chips and backing are starting to separate from the phone. <br /><br />I recommend that you just put up a few extra more dollars and get a phone that is worth it. <br /><br />Or unless of course you are gentle with phones.</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=13151#review13151 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=13151#review13151 Fri, 18 Nov 2005 02:21:39 GMT <p><i>fishingmike submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I received two of these phones on two lines when I switched from Sprint to Verizon.

Al I ever want to use the phone for is to TALK! And even that is difficult!! But let's start with the UP side:<br />Pros: Great size, good looking phone, good color contrast on inside. Battery life not bad. Never had to use a car charger - keeps it's charge.<br />Here come with the Cons:<br />First annoying thing - the LCD screen flashes with the providers name, alternating with the time. You can program it out, but overtime you turn the phone off or lose signal, it's back. Very hard to read LCD screen, as well. Poor contrast - I usually have to open phone to see time. Difficult to hear on this phone - especially in car. 2 side buttons control the volume- another bad idea. You are ALWAYS hitting those buttons when you hold the phone. Not user friendly -really difficult to use calendar and other extra features.<br />No color display on outside screen. Buttons are small and not so easy to manipulate. Ring tones are very boring. The screensaver is awful. Really HAD to download and purchase wallpaper so I could appreciate the color resolution. Here is the worst part: I am now on my 3rd model of this phone: (My service provider keeps replacing it because of this glitch in the phone) The inside and outside screens just go blank! This has happened on the 2 prior models I had. You cannot tell if the phone is on, you cannot access your contacts, you cannot tell if you have any messages, you cannot tell who is calling you, cannot text, etc, etc ...the list goes on and on. If you are wondering why I keep getting the same phone, it is policy of the carrier to replace it with the same model if phone is faulty. And boy, is it ever! I will be switching to another phone just as soon as I possibly can. <br />If you are considering this phone - BE WARNED!!!</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=12352#review12352 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=12352#review12352 Wed, 05 Oct 2005 03:46:48 GMT <p><i>iliketoread submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Hello. I have had my current 8600 for about a year. I got my first one in Feb of 2004. My niece then proceeded to slobber on it, getting it wet, so you know the rest. Anyway, I liked my first one but really would have preferred to get a different one when it got ruined. Verizon would not allow me to get a different phone. Oh, well. My second one was OK for a while, then things went bad. I dropped it once with the antenna out and broke it off. Then, I dropped it and the inside screen went completely black. I could still make and receive calls, but I couldn't see who was calling or what I was dialing! Once it went back to normal, it would sometimes go black without me even dropping it! Then, it got to where when the screen would go black, I could answer a call but the person calling me couldn't hear a thing I said! UUUGGGGHHHH!!! Now, I barely get a signal at all! I can barely get a bar at my house or even outside!! And I constantly drop calls. I live in the mountainous regions of AL. You don't even have a ringer choice, only music! I just want a phone that rings!! I hate this phone. Am currently searching ebay for a new one. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS???<br /><br />PROS:<br />1. Nice color screen<br />2. Nice wallpapers<br />3. Easy to navigate<br />4. Volume button on side<br />5. Small size<br /><br />CONS:<br />1. Horrible signal<br />2. Screen black out<br />3. Low ringer volume<br />4. Horrible ringer selection - does not even have a ringer. Only music choices! <br />5. Extendable antenna<br />6. For me - small size. I want a bigger phone.<br /><br />I hope this helps someone out there who may be looking. Good luck!</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=11614#review11614 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=11614#review11614 Wed, 31 Aug 2005 02:35:13 GMT <p><i>mattnkaty submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Had this phone for 2 years.

This phone is the first and only cell phone I've ever owned, but compared to the cell phones of my family and friends, it is not a good phone. <br /><br />I can't think of very many Pros to this phone, but I can sure list lots of Cons <br /><br />Pros: It's small and cute, and has Get It Now and Web capabilities.<br /><br />Cons: Horrible Service, short battery life, you can't get a tone for receiving a text message, only a short beep. My Antenna broke really easily, and there's a button for speaker phone, but it hasn't worked on my phone since the day I bought it. This phone has nothing special about it,it's just a plain boring phone. There are many other cons to this phone, but I feel the aforementioned were a good indication that this phone is not a good phone to buy. Sure it may be cheap but you get what you pay for.<br /><br />All in all, I don't believe this is a good phone to buy, espically compared to the quality of other phones. If you want the opinion of someone who has owned this phone for over a year, DONT BUY THIS PHONE.</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=9094#review9094 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=9094#review9094 Thu, 31 Mar 2005 17:15:12 GMT <p><i>Gosser submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>All the complaints about this phone listed are valid. I am already on my second (since I also bought my wife one) and can't wait to get rid of it. As you use them over a period of time the wear and tear is rapid including problems with the display. It begins to disappear occasional until it just never reappears. On my first, Verizon claimed the screen problem to be water damage, although my phone was never remotely near water. This phone is best for somebody that doesn't intend on using it very much. <br />Pros: nice small size...thats it.<br />Cons: Flashes 'Verizon Wireless' for 5 seconds between the date and time<br />Phone book takes forever to look somebody up<br />Weak reception with many dropped calls. <br />Once the display starts to go you might as well throw it out (smash it first so somebody else doesn't find it and use it).

At first I really liked the phone (particularly the size) but started experiencing problems in the first week and it continued to get worse. <br /><br />Problems: 1) At random times I'll be talking and will be able to hear the other person but they can't hear me. Found out that if I hit a keypad button it restores it momentarily but then usually happens again. Nothing like needing to continually press "1" to keep talking. Gets really annoying really quickly. 2) Voice dialer has no dedicated button so you have to push and hold the send button for a few seconds and wait for a prompt. Voice dialer wouldn't work at random times and continued to get worse over time. Got to the point where I haven't used it in over 6 months because it doesn't work most of the time. 3) The reception is TERRIBLE! I'm not one to bag on products but it's REALLY bad. My fiance has a Motorola v60 (the original ghetto phone, old school version)and we can be sitting next to each other and I have no reception and she'll have 3 bars. I can't stress enough how bad this is. 4) Lag time when you answer the phone. Sometimes I'll have to say "hi" 3 times before they hear me. 5) There's no "normal" sounding ring. If you like your phone to ring in salsa tones that's fine but all they have is a bunch of weird crap for ring tones. 6) Can't delete answering machine messages one at a time. You either delete them all or none. 7) Just lately the speaker phone has been coming on at random. There's no consistency with this, just sometimes when I answer a call the speaker phone will come on and blast my eardrum without warning.<br /><br />I originally bought this phone because of its size. It does slip easily into your pocket. The outside LCD display is nice, and I do love having an answering machine so I don't have to dial up my call notes everytime I want to receive a message. <br /><br />Overall there are much nicer phones out there.</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=244 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=8129#review8129 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=244&r=8129#review8129 Thu, 03 Feb 2005 10:16:25 GMT <p><i>mw1733 submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>THE PHONE WORKS VERY WELL I HAVE HAD LIL IF NO PROBLEMS WITH IT .
