Complete with an array of the most popular phone features and functions, the new CDM-8615 mobile handset from Audiovox Communications Corporation (ACC),a subsidiary of Audiovox Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), was unveiled today at CTIA Wireless I.T. and Entertainment 2004. The CDM-8615 is a clamshell-styled, dual-LCD handset geared toward the consumer who wants a compact, fashionable, yet affordable phone – without a built-in digital camera.

The tri-mode (800/1900 MHz CDMA, Amps) phone is CDMA20001X capable, Java enabled and comes equipped with Wap 2.0 web browser. The handset features a 1.8” main LCD screen in 65K color CSTN and a 1” black and white exterior display for viewing incoming call and message alerts and digital or analog clock functions. The CDM-8615 features a built-in, two-way speakerphone, two-way SMS and CMX 32 polyphonic ringers as well as a vibrating alert option.

The CDM-8615 measures 3.5” x 1.8” and 0.9”, weighs only 3.7 ounces and is equipped with the MSM6050 chipset, which is GPS ready, system dependent.

“Audiovox recognizes that voice is still the “killer app” and this phone provides superb voice and data capabilities,” said Philip Christopher, CEO of Audiovox Communications Corporation. “We think the CDM-8615 is just such a handset, which will make it popular with both carriers and their customers.”
