Audiovox CDM-8500 user reviews (Sprint)

Pros It is very small compared to most phones and it is very durable.

Cons VERY Short battery life, Doesn't recognize charging and displays "Very low Battery"

Summary I have had this phone for a while now and I really encourage you NOT to buy it. Yes it is compact and durable, but it is expensive, has short range capabilities, no color screen, and has a really short battery life. The phone also wastes energy by actively searching for the network, 100% of the time, when it is out of range. Usually phones will search once or twice a minute.

Pros Absolutely None

Cons Abysmal reception, no colour

Summary Very poor reeption, poor sound quality, no colour. can't believe they actually sell this.

Pros different colored backgrounds

Cons no color, real ringtones, or loudness

Summary I never had this phone, but Ive known people who have had this phone before.

Of course I wanted to check it out and give an opinion on it just to share here!

Its one of Virgin Mobile's oldest models, so you shouldnt expect too much from this phone! Of course, no color or real ringtones, and of course NO VIRGINXL or voice dialing.

Its a pretty decent phone but without all the fanciness, which I know alot of people would be looking for now-a-days.

So I dont think this phone would be great for many people, but if you want a phone without all the fancy features, then this phone is almost perfect for you.

Pros Peek-a-boo window in the front

Cons In black and white. I love color phones better

Summary I like phones with peek-a-boo windows in the front, that's one of the things that drew me to this particular phone. That and the look. Virgine Mobile always delivers with their brand but you have to remember that you get what you pay for with any product. Spring for one of the newer models if you can, but this one's fine too.
