Don't call me, I'll call you. Audiovox CDM4000

by nwinston Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 11 '01
Pros: Great little phone for an infrequent user.
Cons: No web access or voice activated dialing.
I'm not a power wireless phone user. As a matter
of fact, I go weeks without using one. After having
children, I got one for my security blankie. It allows
me to leave the house, knowing that a sitter can reach
me while I'm...

Big features, packed in 4.5 oz's

by Kissikins , May 14 '00
Pros: Ton's of feature's, similar to Nokia, easy to learn and navigate
Cons: antenna needs to be more sturdy, doesn't help reception.
When I find a product I like, I tend to tell everyone I know about it. Epinions of course being my favorite way to do it.

In October of 1999 I decided to make the plunge from a analog phone to a digital. Currently I am a airtouch customer so...

Would you leave your phone out in the RAIN?

by fryeday , Apr 04 '01
Pros: Very clear reception, long battery life, can take a beating, lots of features
Cons: No vibrating function, hard to find accessories
After using my not-so-trusty analog flip-phone for years, my husband and I decided we needed to update our mobile phones. We both needed a phone and we wanted something light-weight, digital and of course, we wanted something with a long battery life....

Underrated phone!

by viran , Jul 26 '00
Pros: Thin, excellent signal sensitivity, price
Cons: lack of vibrating alert
I've used this phone intensely for about a year(avg. 1000 min/month) and it's great value for the money! It's slim so you can keep it in your pocket (unlike some of the thick Nokia phones some of my corporate friends own), and it's very light. It may...

Great little phone

by JenN2kids , Feb 27 '00
Pros: Size,caller ID & call waiting caller ID, battery life, nice phone book feature, digital and analog
Cons: None
I bought this phone mainly because I have a not-so-reliable car. The phone cost a lot less than purchasing a new car or even fixing the one I have. The purchase price was $90, which I am paying in installments ($3.74 a month) with my service plan.

advanced features a few months back, he offered to

by Ruedenim2 , Sep 01 '00
Pros: some features, good strength
Cons: bad company, hoaky design
If you're looking for a reliable phone, then this is not the way to go.

I bought this phone in Nov. '99. In April this phone quit working. It took forever to get in touch with anyone from Audiovox. They said that we had to mail the phone in so...

by rssiegel , Sep 12 '00

Cons: Lacks vibration mode
I own two CDM4000 phones and they are both excellent phones (wife and kids use them). They are easy to use, battery life is great, and seem to be very well constructed. I also own a Motorola StarTac 7860 (see my review on this as well), which is also an...

Comparing 4000 to 9000

by cutlernj , Oct 21 '00
Pros: Intuitive, Clear
Cons: Font Size can be frustrating
I'm comparing the 4000 to the 9000 since I purchased the 9000 when my friend bought the 4000. I've been able to compare both phones side by side and thus can report the similarities and differences for those trying to make a choice between them.

by iris_1 , Oct 09 '00
Pros: Light, slim design; charges quickly; lots of great features
Cons: None
A couple of months ago, I (finally) decided to trade in my clunky old analog for a more easily portable digital model. I chose this one primarily because it was right at the Verizon store and with activation, was inexpensive (important for a grad...

I have been a cell phone user for 8 years and believe it or not, have only had to purchase one phone. Well, it finally quit working and I was forced to purchase another one. I picked the Audiovox CDM-4000 mainly for it's small size and extended...

Cons: getting outdated really fast (see Nokia 8200 series) plastic toy feeling
As phones were getting smaller, and talk times were lasting longer, I found myself in need of upgrading my phone from the older Nokia digital phones. However, my wireless carrier (Verizon aka Bell Atlantic Mobile) maintains the worst selection of phones...

The Audiovox CDM 4000 is one of the latest phones in advanced technology.

Just fine if you just want a phone

by cjanson , Feb 15 '01
Pros: Inexpensive, often offered at a discount with service, small enough, light, simple to use.
Cons: None really, this is a great phone for the basic user
As cell phones go, I try not to take its abilities too seriously. It's a phone and that's how I try to keep it. Staying connected at all costs is not the goal but merely to have the convenience to contact someone if I am away from a land line.

The CDM 4000 is Audiovox' answer to Nokia's new series of phones. It's really only an upgrade from their CDM 3000, which ain't too great of a phone. The 4000 combines a light weight (4.5 ounces) with user friendliness and some cool options to make this...

I bought the Audivox phone because it was inexpensive (i.e. cheap and I'm just a poor student). When I bought the phone it cost about $50, now it retails for under $40. The choice of colors is rather limited. You can get the cover in either black...

The only reason I would ever get this phone again is if it were my ONLY option and if it was given to me for nothing. As part of the plan I signed up for with Verizon, I was able to purchase this phone for next to nothing...its no wonder why.

The audiovox 4000. A leap up from the 3500. I had both and I prefer the 4000. I take mine everywhere. It has about 85 1/2 hours on it and it works perfectly. I am sure we all would like one of those phones you can listen to MP3s on, or the one that...
