Audiovox CDM-8910 / PM-8912 / Flasher V7
Average Ratings
NICE PHONE
This phone is a VERY good deal from Verizon, I think that it was one of audiovox's best. The only thing that I do not like about it, is the flash, the flash does not work unless it is up close to the object that you are taking a picture of, other than that I LOVE IT!
Very nice features!
Has more than what I need anyway. Speaker volume is on the low side. About my biggest complaint.
Service with Virgin Mobile very easy and friendly.
This is not a tri-band phone. My understanding is the CDM-8910VM is tri band. Apparently there are some bells and whistles on the Flasher V7 in place of tri band capability.
This is why it is being marketed by Virgin Mobile at a reasonable price. It is their 'high end' phone for folks most interested in no plan phones that are modern but lower priced. That aside, it does what it promises, and looks and feels well in operation.
The camera is very slick and easy to operate.
For the somewhat limited usage it will receive, it more than satisfies my needs.
Some careful shopping will find less expensive but good quality accessories.
Many of the 8610 accessories (slightly older phone) fit just fine. Keep that in mind if you find it is not easy to locate extended batteries, etc. Do not use the base 8900 number, there are some basic differences which will cause problems.
A Cool Phone!!!
I was excited when i heard Virgin Mobile was going to have a new selection to there phones, and to make it better it takes pictures... But sadly when i got the phone i was dissapointed at the picture quality, but to my unknowing it would adjust and become perfect.This phone is A GREAT phone with so many features, but one thing it could use is AIM!!! Yes the sound quality is great and being able to download for the first time with a Virgin Mobile is awesome!!! This phone is perfect!!!
I brought this phone
i am down here in miami florida. The phone takes clear pictures and has not yet dropped my calls in the miami area....i am in a major urban part of miami.
terrible choice
I tried the audiovox 8910, since my LG 4400 screen went out, for 1 week because it was on sell for $50. comparing the features to the LG4400 I figured it could not be that bad of a phone. I was wrong!
The phone have some decent features but they do not work well. The overall volume is terrible (ringer, speakerphone, and ear piece), I would have to be in a completely quiet area to hear good. The ringtones sound like they were recorded from a toy piano even the downloaded tones. The pictures looked better on other phones that I've sent them to. The outside LCD is barely readable and you have to hold down one of the side buttons for 3-5 sec before the time appears. I honestly do not have any...... pros for this phone. Don't let the price suck you in.
The Worst Phone Ever
As I tell my customers...... this is the worst phone ever created. I absolutely refuse to sale this phone. Everyone else in the store goes for the easy sale since it's a relatively cheap camera phonew and they push it to get their comission which is why we have to warranty so many of them. I have literally seen over 100 of these phones warrantied in out store in the past few months. It's crap. Stay Away. Buy a Sanyo.
Not So Good
This phone is horrible. the camera is RETARDED. no good ringers, ringers are not loud enough and or clear. The reception is horrible.If u want a cheap pay as u go camera phone, get the go phone motorola v220. the camera is awesome. perfect speaker. AWSOME sound quality. changeable faceplate's that that r covered under warranty. thats awesome. this phone gets scratched too easily.
please help audiovox
i have worked for sprint for over a year now and have been selling the 8912 for about 7 months now. The most important thing you need to know is that i talk my customers out of this phone. I get paid on the plan not the phone but i know if i sell them this phone may risk of a deactivation increases 5 times over. The phone has a lot of features but it is complete crrap. it will delete pictures, drop calls, turn off, and worst of all just go black. I have warrantied almost every one i have sold. Tbe good news is for a cheaper price you can now get the sanyo 2300 which is the most reliable phone i have seen yet. speaker outside display and walkie talkie. I will not show myucustomers this phone unless they see it. please avoid.
