Audiovox CDM9100 Cell Phone

I had this Audiovox phone for about 6 months before I went running back to the store with my piggy bank in hand trying to find a true quality phone. If you are a person that's looking for simply a "phone," this is it. When someone calls, it rings. When you dial, it calls. Other than that, the phone is -sorry to say- a disappointment. There is low capability marked all over the place (no alarm clock, calculator, countdown timer, games, stopwatch, corny ring tones, no computer connectivity, no 5-Line full bitmap display, no contact list with multiple listings per entry, etc.). Recently, the increasingly popular Kyocera Corp bought out Audiovox. This means that the phone will no longer be mass-produced in the years to come (it is, to say, a dying breed). If you are looking for a phone to fit today's lifestyle, I must refer you to the Kyocera 2235**. Currently, I own the phone and must say it is the best on the market today. It is lightweight and jam-packed with so many capabilities in one cool package. The only thing that attracted me to the Audiovox was the appearance, which I must also say, is a bit deceiving. If you would like to change the faceplate, you must take the entire phone back to the store, have them unscrew the current faceplate, and screw the new one back in. Save the gas money to the store and buy a phone with instant access to changing the faceplate whenever your mood changes! Overall, on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being tops), I would have to give the Audiovox CDM9100 a 4. Folks...."There's Better Out there!"
