The Audiovox CDM 9900 is my choice for next phone. My "New Every Two" ($100
credit) is available in the last week of November. I called Verizon and
asked for a price estimate .... was told about $229 with a 2 yr contract.

A general fact about "audiovox" phones. The 4000, 4500 9100, 9500 and
latest 9900 are made in JAPAN by Toshiba. Toshiba makes very high
quality cell phones. The other Audiovox models are made in Korea by
other makers, IIRC including Curitel and Hyundai. The Japanese models
are considered much better phones all around. Some of the Korean
models were very poor performers. I have owned several of the
Japaenese Audiovoxs and they are all still working fine.
Not perfect but a cut above the rest.
I have used an old 4500 as an extended loaner for friends phones that
break for years. It still works perfectly. Taking it apart the build
quality is evident.
Not everyone likes the Audiovox menus and buttons.
Toshiba displays are generally high quality.
The 9900 display is one of the finest available on a cellphone. It's
very similar to the currently available sprint model 4050 with a few
buttons altered and different firmware.
I would not buy a non Toshiba made Audiovox.

As to the auction. Hey, all price is negotiable and by agreement.
There's nothing wrong with making an offer or declining one. The 9900
will be out in a few days for public purchase on Verizon anyway.
Should be out by the 1st of Oct. Wait one year and the price will be
even even cheaper..guaranteed.

My current phone (for the past 22 months) has been an Audiovox 9155 GPS
(Japanese). Have be very happy with it ... but for my slowly failing
eyesight in dim light and with small print. The 9900's screen size of
240x320 pixels, 260k color TFT, and tri mode radio sold me. Of course, all
that is up for review if it turns out to be hype. LOL

Bad enough I have to wait until the end of this November for my 2yr contract
to run its course so I can get the "new every two" credit.

Do you think they will upgrade the speakerphone volume to the quality
of the Motorolas and LGs?

In previous models it has been reported as unusable in any kind of
noisy enviornment.

LOL WHO KNOWS, right? The speakerphone on my Audiovox 9155 is ok but ...
I don't have an LG or Moto to compare it to. If I wish to share a
conversation with a passenger in the car with me, the 9155's speaker can
handle that task. It's certainly not a miniture public address system!

Why should anyone trust .... you? What qualifications do you have to make
such a statement about an Audiovox phone that has yet to go on sale?
