I really like the way its setup. easy menu's to add new contacts and existing contacts, has voice dialing, voice memos good for shopping list and stuff... always gets good signal, battery last pretty long time. I don't care the least for games on my phone so I cant tell you about that. I've added my own ring-tones with DJ tone express from my mp3 songs works real nice.. I use Cricket as my provider they had a deal on the phone for 49.00 bucks if you can get one. Get 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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=29275#review29275 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=29275#review29275 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:33:15 GMT <p><i>killmeimbill submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>For a first phone this was a really good phone. Reception and battery life were good. I personally did not like the fact that it was prepaid but that wasn't the phone's fault. It felt good in my hand and the ringers were loud and I so was the ear piece. I thought that the ringer ID feature was cool. Had a good speaker phone (loud, good quality, etc.). My biggest complaint was that it did not vibrate very well. If you are looking for an inexpensive yet good prepaid phone then I would suggest this if they are still being sold.</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=26190#review26190 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=26190#review26190 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 01:27:11 GMT <p><i>smashme101 submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I love this phone and only paid $50.00 for it.<br />this works best on the Virgin Mobile network<br /><br />Pros<br />Nice screen size<br />Looks tight<br />Games are good<br />Preloaded ringtones rock<br />Sounds Crystal clear when making calls<br />Software is the best ever<br />Easy to text on<br />Good version of virgin xl<br /><br />Cons<br />No downloadable games<br />No downloadable graphics<br />Low text message inbox<br />Battery life is ok<br />Takes long to charge<br />Virgin mobile doesnt carry it anymore<br /><br />Overall my best virgin mobile phone ive owned</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=25438#review25438 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=25438#review25438 Wed, 03 Oct 2007 05:00:46 GMT <p><i>miabella submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>PROS: The phone is comfy - easy to use - has a wow great screen view bright and colorful. <br /><br />CONS: Low ringer volume. Has to be with me or else...I will miss the call- whereas my previous phone I heard from way far. Another downfall and the worst is "Its a HOT HOT phone!!" Speak for ten minutes and burn your cheeks, your lips and anything that comes close to it.<br />I have had it since Sept. 19 and have a 30 day trial - it's going back tomorrow Oct. 3rd! Cannot deal with the heat of the phone especially when my job is answering all client calls. I have had to cut short my calls to avoid this annoying very annoying battery heat.</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=21341#review21341 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=21341#review21341 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 18:28:38 GMT <p><i>gaby_torres submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My friend gave me this phone because he bought a new one so i started using virgin mobile.

Overall it is a great phone for basic calls. It has text messaging and downloadable ringtones. The calls are very clear. There is not a camera on this phone. It allows you to set different ringers to different contacts. Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint PCS network, so you can goto the Sprint website to check your local coverage. I have not had any problems with this phone. I have dropped it a few times, but it still works fine. This is a great afforadable phone for basic calls.</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=21181#review21181 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=21181#review21181 Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:26:35 GMT <p><i>plousia submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>There are some nice things about this phone, like a stylish appearance, nice colour display, overall very easy to use and a pleasure to look at.<br /><br />However, I've decided to change to a different phone for a couple of reasons: the reception I've been getting with this phone (in Portsmouth, NH) is not very good; and the ringtone is really quiet, even on the loudest setting. For both of those reasons, I keep missing calls. Also, I don't know if it's the carrier or the phone, but sometimes I don't get messages till a couple of days after people leave them. I don't need a phone which 50% of the time is basically just a voicemail service.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-nice appearance, very sleek<br />-(to me) well-designed interface, with a pleasant appearance of fonts, graphics, etc<br />-3 phone #s for each contact<br />-reasonably, though not incredibly long battery life<br />-alarm, calendar, calculator, stopwatch, and world clock<br /><br />Cons<br />-a leetle chunky and heavy, though not much<br />-poor reception<br />-very quiet ringtones, so it is easy to miss calls<br />-phone "heats up" a bit on a long call<br /><br />In sum, I wouldn't buy this phone again, though some things about it are really nice. You mainly buy a phone to use as a phone, and the poor reception on this one means it's not great for that.</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=21037#review21037 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=21037#review21037 Tue, 09 Jan 2007 22:43:21 GMT <p><i>lakyn01 submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I hate this phone it is not very useful.

The Audiovox 8610 was so far the best phone ive used (ive owned 2, ive used like, TONS of them). its easy to use, cheap,and the network is great. they have tons of options for how you pay and how much, and the ringtones are really good. The only bad thing is that you cant get online with it, so checking your balance and getting stuff from the phone is a bit akward. i think its WAY under-piced, i would have paid like, twice what i did for this phone. and its REALLY light, the only problem is, if you put it in a hoodie pocket, go on a bikeride thats abt 10 mi. long, and you loose it, your probably never gonna get it back, but VM is great so theyll send u the same one at a discounted price.overall, great phone, great network, put the phone in a pocket or case, NOT IN A HOODIE POCKET (i learned from expierence) now go pick one up, it rocks</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=17955#review17955 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=17955#review17955 Fri, 28 Jul 2006 11:58:20 GMT <p><i>cannable12 submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this phone is off the hook.

For example, this phone performs great outdoors, in the metro area and neighborhoods of medium to large cities and on major interstates and most highways. County roads vary from region to region.<br /><br />The quality of every call varies greatly depending on where you are. An example would be making a call in a basement as opposed to the 2nd floor of your home. While this phone does work in basements, the quality and reliability of the call itself is higly questionnable. But as far as calls being dropped, this happens on rare occassions.<br /><br />The overall build of the phone is pretty solid. Someone has mentioned in the past about the flip (or fold) dying out, but this has not proved true for me. I guess its a matter of how you handle your phone and take care of it. The buttons could be a little larger, but regardless works fine and feels good enough. The backlight on the keys are just gross. They're poorly done. And drains the battery quite a bit if always on while on a call.<br /><br />The extra features are what they are and do their job. Sometimes the calendar feature freaks out on ya, but overall the features are decent. (i.e, Alarm, World Clock, etc.)<br /><br />In summary and conclusion, I thought this phone was a good phone, especially for prepaid and virgin mobile. I suggest this phone for those not looking for an entertainment center built into their phone.<br /><br />Pros: <br />- Sturdy Build<br />- Decent call quality 80% of the time<br />- Reception is average<br />- Small Footprint in Pockets<br />- Text Messaging is Simple and Unobtrusive<br />- Speakerphone performs well under average conditions.<br /><br />Cons:<br />- Ringtones aren't all that loud<br />- Navigation and Graphics are childish<br />- Poor to Average Battery Life<br />- Backlight Keys just suck<br />- Voice Calls could be louder<br /><br />Again, decent phone, but its definitely for entry level users. Alltel destroys VM by the way as far as prepaid.</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=14196#review14196 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=14196#review14196 Fri, 30 Dec 2005 19:53:05 GMT <p><i>Buzznet submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I'm really impressed with the quality of this phone for the money. Pros. - you can control your wireless bill - good phone - lots of free features like call display and voice mail Cons. - minutes are rounded up instead of down - screen hard to see outside in the sun - doesn't warn you if you are being charged for something overall i would recommend this phone to almost anybody.. its really well done. This phone is the best thing ever I'm 13 and i can totally afford it and its great i can talk to my friends for less money then Bell Mobility plus the phone is super durable i was skateboarding and it fell out of my pocket and the wheel on my skate board hit it really hard there was a big mark i pick it up and was axed that it still worked perfectly. I am really amazed how durable this product is!!! the other day it made a unexpected trip into the lake.. i took the battery off and let it dry in the sun for 5 or so hours and it came back on with know trouble... the colors on the screen are a little different but thats my fault.....this phone is so cool it is not too expensive,easy to use and virgin offers great rates!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would recommend this phone highly if you want a reliable phone with a good plan....Thanks Virgin!</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=474 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=13028#review13028 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=474&r=13028#review13028 Fri, 11 Nov 2005 05:10:33 GMT <p><i>da.woosterz submitted this review of the Audiovox CDM-8615 / Vox 8610:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Hey guys! I got the Vox 8615about 9 months ago, and I'm pretty happy with it. I don't know if I should be writing this, because it is my first cell phone; but before I got this phone, I use to borrow my parents Sony Ericsson Z200 and Nokia 5190. Anyways, the reason why I got this phone was because it was cheap, and had lots of features (speakerphone, world clock, stop watch, calculator, alarm etc.) Also it was small enough to fit in my pocket; without it looking like I was carrying a brick around. Another pro would be the simplicity of the menus; even a 2 month old kid would be able to use this thing. <br /> Given the pros, I would not buy this phone again if given the chance to. The 8615 frequently Freezes and you either have to pull out the battery, or wait for 15 min's for the handset to restart itself. Also the reception is terrible. When our family goes grocery shopping, I could be down to 1 bar, while my dad's Nokia 5190 still has a full 4 bar. Another thing would be how amazingly slow this phone is. It usually takes the Vox a minute to log on and fully turn itself on; even though I only have 3 ring tones and 4 screensavers. I've got buddies with about 20 ring tones and 30 screensavers; and their phone turns on in a flash. <br /> If given a choice I would rather buy the Nokia 5190 then get the 8615. At least if I'm being chased by a psychopathic killer I could turn the phone on in a flash and, get good reception to call the cops. Alright, and to sum things up:<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Lots of features<br />-Simple to use<br />-Small<br />-Cheap<br /><br />Cons<br />-Awful reception<br />-Freezes a lot<br />-Really slow<br /><br />I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone; except for Junior High kids that only want one for status. Thanks for your time.</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=474
