Audiovox CDM-8940

So, have we figured out for sure if you can view the picture ID on the external screen or not?? I can't believe they would leave this feature off but i wouldnt put it past Verizon. Please let me know ASAP!! I might be getting it tomorrow and this feature is important to me.

Hi, I’m checking yours reviews about the new phones of Vzn they are very helpful 😁 but anyways, I want a nice phone not too big and with a speaker also and many features, so I still (in despite of the bad comments) may get a Moto 710 cause seems to be that is the only one that is going to let me have my own mp3 ringtones and pictures without the annoying "get it now" and without USB cables that may be difficult to use(how do I download MP3s to the LG800??). I really wanted the CDM8940 but seems to be that the mini SD is crippled and then almost useless right only for mp3s, no pictures, no ring tones at all??
Some ideas, some help guys is two years of agreement and more that 200 bucks moto 710, CDM8940 or the LG 8000. I want to know also if...

I noticed everyone is very concern about the camera, but what about RF reception??? Has anyone tested it thoroughly yet?

Is there any way to save the information on the calender after the date has pasted. ON my 710, I could go back on the calender and look at old dates and what was scheduled. Every time the date passes on this 8940, the information is gone. If thats the case then this calender function is just an alarm function only! AND SUCKS!

In the description of the phone in Phonescoop it says there is call screening. I've never had this before on a phone, and don't really understand it.
I did find the option for Auto Answer for varying amounts of time (Off, 5 secs, 10 secs, 18 secs)...but I can't seem to get the auto answer to work.
Anybody have an answer to this, and explain the call screening to me and how to use it?

I got the 8000 but the thing is such a beast and im thinking about trading it for the 8940. I havea few questions for those of you who have had it for a few days.

How do your own pictures look as wallpapers?
?can you use .mid as ringtones?
does sliding the thing get annoying for the camera?
does the phone feel sturdy?
Is it easy to use?
How was the battery life?
Does the callers picture come up when they call?
Does the screen feel big enough?

This is a tough decision because once i trade in the 8000 theres no going back so your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Many people have a misconception of the memory card.

You can upload mp3s to the miniSD card and the phone will play those mp3s. I know because I have done it with the 8940 and the mp3 player is awesome--you can create a playlist too.

Has ANYONE figured out how to get the picture ID to work on the outside of the phone yet?? this is a big deal to me and could be a deciding factor between the 8940 and VX8000 if audiovox (or UTStarcom) was idiotic enough to forget this feature similar to the time they forgot the ring AND vibe option on the CDM9900. Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help!

now all you people have to agree..... pretty much every single audiovox out there has a speakerphone thats just as loud as whispers. does the 8940 change that? exactly HOW loud does the speakerphone... louder than the 8900 and the 8910 im hoping. It would be tight if it went as loud as my LG vx6100

how to save attachments in txt messages to phone?

Anyone? Bueller?

If i take pics and store them, can i then take the memory card out and print the pics off on my printer that accepts memory cards or not,
can someone let me know
thanks

How many sad verizon customers waited for this phone in hopes of them not crippling the sd slot.
I was so excited about this phone and now its nothing but another verizon crap phone..

crap crap crap..

I don't know guys I for one will never buy or wait for another crappy verizon phone.

Out of the 8940 and the lg 8000 which one takes better pics?
can someone give me an honest answer and not a bias answer.
thanks

How strong is the vibrate mode? and is it possible to send mp3's via email if there a midi file, to use them as ringtones?

ok i dont know of any problem but i got ur attention..i want to know if it is at all possible to use the card to transfer information to your computer..like take the card and slide it into a memory card reader of some kind and read the info on your computer like pics and videos..that is wat i am interested in.does anyone have the hone and know how transferring data is??? please help i cant decide on which phone to get..help with anything you know

Total phone newb here - how do you do with with the 8940? All .mid or .midi or .jpg attachments i've sent to my #@vtext.com just show the attachment name, no option to download.

HELP HELP.

how loud are the ringers on this model? does it have a simultaneous ring/vib function similar to the LG vx6000? how is the volume/quality of the speakerphone?

while your txting w/ t9 if you switch to abc to type in a word not in the t9 database the t9 database will automatically pick up that word! That is amazing, I was using t9 and I typed the word F**ck without switching to abc and without entering that word in the database manually.

The person who gave this phone a low review needs to be slapped. No pros? Are you kidding? I have never used a handsfree headset w/ two speakers, its always one. This phone comes with both to listen to mp3s and watch clips.

I've found out that you cannot zoom in/out at these resolutions: 768x1024 and 960x1280. Anything lower than this you can zoom in/out at 2x (should be more zoom options by the way).
480x640 is the best quality at a 2x zoom you can get.
Anyone know why this is? Is it impossible due to the technical contstraints of the CMOS sensor, or is it a malfunction of the phone?(similar to the LG 8000 not saving at high res.)
😕

Is there an online Manual to this phone?..anywhere??
