CTIA 2009
PCD was showing off a few new phones. While many companies only show confirmed phones in their booths, and try to sell carriers on potential phones in closed-door meetings, PCD often puts phones in its booth that they are still shopping around to carriers.
The CDM-5040 and CDM-5050 are ultra-basic CDMA phones from a new manufacturer that PCD is representing. Unfortunately, our PCD rep wasn't sure which manufacturer that was.
About all we can tell you is that they're tri-band, (with AWS, aka CDMA 1700,) so they might come to MetroPCS or Cricket.
PCD was also showing off the TXT8026, which is essentially a Blitz, but with a much nicer design. It also adds AWS, so this is another one that may come to MetroPCS or Cricket. Look for the TXT8026 to ship in early Q3.
