Phone Review...
Personally, I think this is a great little phone. It does everything I need it to do. Here are some of opinions:
1) The ringer volume is not the loudest around, and it MIGHT be a problem if the phone is trapped inside an insulated purse. However, the volume truly is audible, and I appreciate the fact that I can hear my phone ring without announcing it to the world. Concerning the earphone volume, I usually keep it at 1/3-1/2 of its total power, so I still have a lot of room to work.
2) The ringtones that come on the phone aren't necessarily the best in the world, but there is the option of downloading more.
3) There is music that plays when the phone is turned on and off that is a loud and a little cheesy, but that doesn't really hurt anyone--its not very long.
4) I had a bad LCD on the first phone I got, and had to trade it in. But every individual phone cannot be flawless.
This phone is a huge improvement over the phone I used to have. I definately recommend it as a free phone (which it is for many plans). Heck, I might even have paid money for it.
Muy buen telefono, y muy desaprovechado
Compre este telefono porque me encanto por su diseño y el precio era bueno. La señal es buena ningun problema en edificios he incluso he hablado en subterraneos aun sin barrita de señal, los menus son bonitos animados, la calculadora facil de usar y cronometro correfluidamente. Los ringtone suenan fuerte comparados con muchos otros incluidos los intocables nokia. El altavoz suena un poco bajo. Pero lo mejor es lo intuitivo para usar y la facilidad para hecer llamadas y cambiar el volumen.
Pros: bonito diseño, moderno, menus rapidos e intuitivos y animados, buena señal,facil acceder a contactos y grupos etc y tiene muchos campos de datos para agregar informacion del contacto y hasta una casilla extra para cualquier memo, facil escritura sms, buena sensacion del teclado, buena calidad de ringtones, el organizador y alarma, Siempre se esta a la hora con el reloj sincronizado( no es necesario ajustarlo lo obtiene de la red CDMA).
Cons: no trae juegos ni screensavers (mi compañia no tien BREW :( asi que no puedo agregar, en chile no vende el cable para usar bitpim), tampoco se pueden agregar ringtones (los que trae son suficientes para mi), la bateria promedio (5 dias stand by).
un 4 solo por lo de BREW yo no tendria ningun problema en comprar un juego pero no lo tienen la competencia de mi compañia si tiene BREW asi que un bUUUUUU !!! para mi compañia.
Este es un exelente telefono para quien no necesite juagar ni estar preocupado de los ringtone ni de bajar cosas asi que si alguien quiere cambia su antiguo telefono por uno moderno de buen aspecto este es ideal.
Audiovox CDM-8410
I chose this phone because I loved how slim and light weight it was, as well as because it has speakerphone. But I have been nothing but disappointed since I've had it. I find it very hard to hear callers even with the volume up all the way and often have to use the ear bud to hear them clearly. Even the ringtones are very quiet, especially if you download them. I followed the directions on initial charging but havent been impressed with the battery life. Another problem I have is my phone echoing my voice. It is a problem with almost all calls reguardless of my signal strength.

I sell Nextel, Sprint, and CellularOne. This particular phone has been a promotional item. 90% of my 8410 customers return to report some type of problem with this phone. Low volume, software issues, not honoring a rebate etc. I've found their customer solutions difficult to locate and have little regard for the end user. I prefer Sanyo, Motorola, Kyocera.

I have owned the 8410 for over a month now. I have to say it is one of the best phones out there if you don't need a camera phone or a flip phone. The color screen is very clear and easy to read. The phone's reception is excellent as well. I have only experienced one dropped call when I was talking to my mother. It was her Motorolla V60x that dropped it. The only complaint that I have is that the ringer volume isn't loud enough, and it doesn't have any preinstalled games. But I bought the phone to chat, not to game so that's not a problem for me.
phone is ok
This phone is ok for just having a phone and that is it's only major thing I can find wrong is that the ring tones suck and the volume. Incoming ring and ear piece volume is hard to hear.I have to give Nokia credit in this field because every Nokia I have owned has been loud. The color screen is hard to see outside.I really do think though that this is a problem with most color phones.
Finally a worthwhile Audiovox
Finally a worthwhile Audiovox. It has been better than 3 years since the folks at Audiovox has put out a worthwhile phone. With the exception the unorthodox way of activating the speaker phone, I find the 8410 to be a pretty good phone over all. Also I feel that the ring volume could be a smidge higher. The size is just right for putting in the pocket. Unfortunately the key spacing and shape of the keys often causes mis-dialing. Otherwise this phone is very much worth the investment.....if you have small hands.
