Audiovox CDM-9900

I E-Mailed Audiovox over the weekend to see if
they had any updates on the CDM9900.
This is what they said:

"The CDM9900 is still in the approval process and we are waiting for Verizon to approve the phone. If the phone is going to be approved it will be by the end of August. You can check back with us in about two weeks to see if we got the approval."

So if I don't hear anything, I'll contact them
the first part of September to see if it
passed the approval.

the v710 finally came out, and everyone said that this would come out first. i asked audiovox about a week ago when this is coming out and they havent responded. does anyone have new info about this release????

Hi, I'm a VZW agent, and I can tell you with out a doubt that we have more problems and returns with the 8900 and the 8600 than any other phones. Biggest problem with the 8900 is that it gets hot and over half of them have battery issues. With the 8600 people complain of poor reception and that it's ear-piece is not loud enough. So, do yourselves a favor and forget this phone. I heard a rumor that it has been canned by VZW anyway. Sorry I can't confirm. LG is by far the best phone brand VZW sells followed by Samsung. The LG 7000 seems like a great phone so far, but I waiting for the Mot v710 to give it a shot. Hope it lives up to all the hype. 😎

I've had the V710 for 3 days now, and I'm not happy with it.
The only good thing about it is the reception and voice quality.
To keep a long story short, I'd rather have the CDM9900 come
out than this crap.

this phone is not scrapped, it will be out shortly, just let the (wasted) hipe over the 7000 die down.

i called in bout a week ago to our service line (not customer service) and i had a rep tell me that they actually were all given spec sheets on it with a pic. i asume these r close to the pics n specs that were posted on here not to long ago. since then i have asked multiple reps most of wich (bout 75%) have given me the same anser. so jus sit back, relax, and think about all the stuff ur gona be able to record 😁

New sources have leaked out information on a new phone which seems to be heading to Verizon's side. The new phone will carry an expandable slot and a 1.3Mp Camera. More information can be found in at the following. http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/details.php?i d=869

Anybody know anything new about this phone?

Hello everyone,

I came across this forum just a couple weeks ago and have been watching this thread with much interest. I am a new Verizon user (3 mos.) after being with AT&T wireless for 7 years. I currently have an 8900, but am planning on giving it to my wife and therefore will need a new phone.

I was searching for info on the up and coming phones when I found this thread, and then from within this thread I found info on several phones. One of my biggest restrictions is that I require an Analog compatible phone due to my location (on an Island).

Since the 710 is expected any day now, I was curious what the pro’s, con’s and opinions are of the Moto710 vs. the 8900… Any and all input would be much appreciated.

If I posted t...

I was in VZW the other day with my wife to get her a new phone, and I asked about the 9900. The salesman said he's held it, and it's a great phone. He didn't have any timeframe information, but did say they are just waiting for it. So, I guess that's some comfort that they are still at least expecting it to arrive in their stores. Just an FYI.

I'm so......freakin......pissed! (white chicks)
I've been following this audiovox since its first release. I've been waiting so long, and it didn't come out! I seriously waited so long, that I lost interest in it now. F*** you audiovox! Since my contract with tmobile (t stands for trash) expires on the first of august...im now either thinking about the samsung a670 or motorola v710 if it comes out before then. If the v710 is a brick and if the camera and speaker are poor, ill go with the samsung. I would easily get the samsung, but I love speaker on a phone, and thats whats the turn off with this samsung.

My contract with trash mobile expires on the first of august. I was thinking about getting the samsung a670 camera fone if this audiovox doesn't come out by then. But watch, if it doesn't come out before august 1, ima end up getting the samsung, and then 16 days later, after the 15 day try out wit verizon, the audiovox will be released lol just watch! lol Anybody has any news or advice for me?

Hey guys, my contract with tmobile "trash mobile" expires on the 1st of august. I really want a good fone that has camera and speaker...does anyone honestly know when this fone will be out?

Maybe the LG-7000 is the closest thing we can hope to attain over this canceled phone. It has the Video Features the CDM-9900 was reported to have. 🙄 ... Just a thought?

Based on that response I received from Audiovox today it is difficult to know what the real story is on the 9900. They cannot provide any specific information on the status of the handset, but they act like they still expect Verizon to carry it at some point.

On the other hand you have forum members who claim to know that is has been scrapped by Verizon. But, without exception, they fail to provide any credible source, press release, or document to verify their information. And good old Verizon won't say one way or the other. If they have decided not to carry the 9900, why wouldn't they announce this officially? I guess we can keep the 9900 in the back of our minds until we receive official word one way or the other.

Recently you requested personal assistance from our on-line support center. Below is a summary of your request and our response. We will assume your issue has been resolved if we do not hear from you within 48 hours. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.

I wrote you last week, but I never received a response. I will try this again. Can you please advise me on the status of the Audiovox CDM 9900 cell phone? The word on the street from multiple sources is that Verizon Wireless has decided not to carry this handset. Is that true or is a launch through Verizon still expected? I need to make a decision on the purchase of a new handset and your response will determine whether I act now or...

Well I have the phone so I don't need to worry bout getting it anymore...All my questions are answered

Bro if you have the phone already why are you asking if the outter display is simulated or not?

This phone is scrapped. It was Verizon's "intention" to release this phone 2 to 3 months after the release of Sprint's 9950. The phone had been in testing and is still awaiting the final approval. The reason why nobody has heard anything on the release of the phone and the reason why it isn't on infomanager is because it's scrapped and won't be released.

Audiovox completely messed up their reputation with the 8000 series which was made by Cruitel and probably would still be in the business of making cell phones if they would've simply let Toshiba make all the Audiovox models. The Audiovox 8600 and 8900 were pulled from the shelves about 4 times because of problems. Basically the 8000 series lost money while the 9000 series made money yet ...

I hope this means the phone will still be out within the next few weeks/month.
