Audiovox have announced their latest handset, the CDM-8910. The new phone is a tri-mode 800 MHz CDMA / 800 MHz MPS / 1900 MHz PCS / CDMA2000 1x unit with GPSOne built-in, measuring 89 x 48 x 22 mm and weighing in at a tidy 91 g.


The feature-rich Audiovox CDM-8910

The 8910 offers the now-common dual LCD displays, with the main screen a 1.8-inch TFT running at 260K and 128 x 60 resolution. The outer screen is 1-inch, 96 x 64 and also a 260K TFT. Further imaging ability is offered by the 1.3 MP CMOS digital camera, complete with flash and macro function.

This is one of few phones offered outside of Japan to include a camera running at a resolution higher than VGA, and one of only a handful that boast a built-in flash. Interestingly, the camera features an auto-sensing capability, presumably for activating the flash.

The phone is also equipped with Java / BREW functionality, 32-voice polyphonic tones, voice-activated dialling, speakerphone and a USB data interface.

Can't Wait!!!

U know what unless SE comes out with a 1.3 MP cam/phone first im def getting this!!....Im sick of those low res crap phones that we have at the moment!..

nice phone yes... but not for the main European market since
CDMA2000 is only available in a few countries in Europe, the rest of the system CDM-8910 supports are not availble in Europe.

About time as well, I'm fed up with the Japs getting all the cool stuff. Some of the Jap phones have 2 Mega pixels. I'm so jealous.

@axxxr> i totaly agree with you... It couldnt have been that hard to put a 1.3mpx camera into Z1010.. Im sick and tired of 640*480 resolution....

the new sharp gx 22 (i think its called) is also sproting a 1.3 mega pix camera as well as a 260k internal and 65k external.
though in keeping with the others in the range probably no bluetooth and limited connectivity still if you want a camera phone with a great screen

Posted by axxxr
Yes antichrist completely agree!....Its not as if SE dont have a 1.3 MP phone;If they can sell one in japan they can sell em elsewhere too!!...Dont know why they send all the rubbish to Europe and elsewhere and keep the good stuff for themselves!!...Z1010 should have been 1.3 MP.

Posted by Merovingian
@axxxr yes.... SE makes good phones, but already on the P900 they could have put in a 1.3 mpx camera... not to talk about Z1010... japanese market allready have one 1,3 phone from SE.. now its on time that Europe gets one

There's the magic word though, rumoured!!
It was rumoured that the P900 had one too but it ain't!!
Maybe rumours = wishful thinking

Posted by Linkinpark17UK
But aren't rumours often true? We heard rumours about the P900 existence long before SE confirmed anything.

Posted by slattery69
My mistake thought it was the gx22. Thought i had read about it been a defo realise not just a rumour. Think i say it go stuff or some magazine like that

Posted by deuxani
LOL, do you guys only look at the camera? The phone is ugly and has a huge antenna. Also the screen resolution of 128x160 doesn't match the rest of the phone. But that's just my opinion.

Posted by fannypad
The GX-30 does indeed have a 1.3 mega pixel camera, as higher-res pictures of it clearly show "1.3 MEGA PIXELS" embossed on the chrome panel in which the camera/flash are located.

Another GSM phone with a 1.3mp camera is the forthcoming Philips 855 clamshell.


And this Audiovox phone is NOT for the European market at all, it's solely for the North American region.

I wouldn't buy any phone just because of the camera. At the end of the day its only really there for fun and for sendin pics to each other etc. I'd much rather have a great phone with a reasonable camera than a pretty cr@p phone that happens to have a great camera.
I have a 3.3MPixel cam for takin good pics with, VGA is fine for ur phone.
U'll get a 1.3MPixel phone cam & u'll want one with 2.0M pixels then one with 3M pixels and so on!
Then everyone will complain they don't have enough memory cos all the photos u take are so damn big!

No doubt u'll all have a go at me for this but I just don't think it's all that important.

Posted by prodjsxb
Yeah that all nice and all, but there's a problem with the following word... "Audiovox" makes me wanna They dont exactly have a good reputation out here as far quality is concerned. More of a all show kinda brand. Besides Audiovox products which are manufactured under "Cosmo" communications brand are made from parts from the lowest bidder and manufactured in taiwan at the cosmo/memorex/norcent/citizen plant which also has poor quality control standards. Well thats just my experience here...

Posted by MikLSP
So like I said u'll all be buying a really bad phone just because it has 1.3M pixels and I shall mock thee with the pure class of my P800!


Posted by Linkinpark17UK
Won't the GX30 have a SD Card slot so you can save your pics on to that?

Posted by shawnmccall9
that phone is for the USA...if you look at the bands as well as CDMA2k is different from WCDMA

Posted by 701
@fannypad: the CDMA2000 is functional in europe so that's no so US exclusive, isn't it?

Posted by fannypad
Even if CDMA2000 was widely available in Europe, the fact remains that this phone will not be launched anywhere but the the North American market, plain and simple.
