Audiovox CDM-9900
EVERYONE PLEASE READ!
Ive worked for Verizon Wireless for a few years now and I find it so funny how people post release dates on all these different phones when they really havent a clue. Truth is, anyone working out of a retail store has no idea when a new phone is coming out. About a few weeks before a release date, we usually get in a "dummy" phone with info. about what the phone can do along with a CD-ROM. I can personally tell you, that as of today, 4/13/2004, Ive heard no release dates of neither the Audiovox 9900, LG VX 4600, LG VX 7000, LG VX 8000, or the Motorola V710.

So I was getting really excited about this phone being release this week. Now its May, fine. The one thing I started looking at was wether I even care to wait any more for it so I started looking at other phones. Somebody tell me why this phone is so great.

Is this phone really going to be that great, especially if they put a $300+ price tag on it?
