Audiovox CDM-9900

you'd know???????

I dont mean to post so much all at once but braveyoyo and I were discussing smileys.
My question is how reliable is 4/15. I am not questioning Originals rep, but rather the cust service rep who told him the 15th. Aldcon some of your new and dates have been reliable to us can you help at all? 😁
Any of us with any fone sense know that a cust srv rep's word is not to be written in stone. So what we need to do is get on the phones with our "peoples" tomorrow and maybe get some real answers. If I hear anything I'll post tomorrow gnight for now 😉

audiovox emailed me that its coming in next few days. PS what smiley website did u get the smileys (without spyware I hope)

You know if all it took was for me to ask WHEN, then I guess I should vent a little more often. No seriously I hope the 4/15 is the correct date. Iknow I know Patience 😎

WHEN WILL THIS PHONE BE RELEASED. :twisted
Waiting is really becoming quite annoying and discouraging. I just keep telling myself "well at least I'm not like that person over there, or that person saying- hello, hello, are you there, can you hear me, are you there" I guess we do have some reception and customer service benefits, but I want this fone. PaTIenCe 😎
Just needed to vent,have been following phonescoop for the last 3 months but recently set up account.

about whats coming out when. They are clueless.Today theyre a verizon salesman, yesterday they were a bouncer and next week they'll be grocery clerks.

I just received a email from Audiovox saying they are waiting for verizon to finish testing and it should be ready in MAY! Yes, thats right, they said MAY!!!!! What the HELL is going on!!!!!

Does anyone know when this phone is going to come out? Also will it be much better than the current Audiovox phone that Verizon has?

I've done a brief search here but didn't see the answer. I understand Audiovox doesn't make any of their phones. If this is true, does anyone know what is the brand/maker of this phone? Toshiba? Someone else? Thanks.

I been hearing all these good things about the 9900 but the most important factor has always been left out. PRICE! how will it compare to its competition such as the VX700 or the Motorola V710. Does anybody have a price estimate?

Does it pay to want this, or is one better off to wait for the mega-pixel camara phones about to debut later on this year? There has been so much anticipation over this, that is's starting to become anti-clamatic. 😳

You should all be aware that when you see a new phone appear on Phone Scoop, that realistically it is 4 to 6 months before you will see it being sold, at least by VZW anyway. Generally we get our trial units shortly (a few weeks to a few months) after they appear here. The trial units are just that, units that we use to test everything and if any problem arises, hardware or software, the phones will see a set back, and if the set backs are too numerous or complex it may be quit a while before the phone see's the light of day. Simple as that.

I E-Mailed Audiovox yesterday as well and got
the same response back:

--------------------------------------------- --
Thank you for your email.

The CDM9900 is in the late stages of approval and we are waiting for Verizon to approve this model. We are hoping to release this model mid-April. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Thank you and regards.

So at this point, it looks like Verizon would
be the only source of any further delays, not Audiovox.

I work for Verizon Wireless, and I have not heard about this phone, the 810, the vx8000, or the vx7000 coming out anytime soon at all. I have a couple of contacts with different cell phone mfr's, and they usually let me know ahead of time about release dates... I have not heard that the 7000 is/was cancelled and that the 8000 is taking its place either... I will let you guys know as soon as i hear something, but for now I would be careful believing what other people saying.

told ya...

Thank you for your email.

The CDM9900 is in the late stages of the approval process so we are
hoping to release this model by the middle of April. Verizon Wireless will
be carrying the CDM9900. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

I waited 9 months for Verizon to carry the Kyocera 3035, and it's served me well for 2 1/2 years. Somewhere along the line, they upgraded it to the 3035e so I could have access to BREW.

I've been waiting for a something with a speaker phone, color screen, good keypad, decent battery life, and hopefully a camera for quite some time now. I thought the Audiovox 8900 looked good on screen, but was disappointed by the "designer" keypad when I saw it up close. There was no way to dial the keys by "feel", something that is a problem for a phone you might need to dial when your eyes should be elsewhere. Also, the general construction of the phone felt kind of flimsy.

I went to the Sprint Store, and saw the 9950. I wasn't able to make a c...

Audio Vox emailed me yesterday and said it would be ready by the end of March. End of March? How can that be?????

I know reliable info on this phone is hard to come by, but what will the pricing be? Please don't guess unless you have a good basis for it. The phone looks interesting but I'm wondering how much it will cost. Thanks!

What phone do you recommend for me to wait for? 9900/710/810??? Do you have any release dates?
