I just got an Audiovox 9900 Thread!!!

Hi, I just posted my question in HoFo but I will ask here again.

How does the RF and call clarity compare with existing phones like the 6K, 7K, A670 etc.

Where is the phone manufactured?


Thanks much

 

That's a fantastic price for full retail!

If I had Verizon I'd jump all over that offer.

 

So far so good..It's mostly made in Japan, a nice change of pace compared to LGs and Samsungs which are mostly made of parts from Korea or China.

 

I got it too. The phone feels lighter than I thought and it sounds so much clearer than even my v400. The color screen is very nice too. I like the way it feels in my hand coming from smaller phones and it feels more natural to my face.

I still like the speakerphone better on my v400.

You can't beat the two year activation price of only $ 49.99.
Good job VZW. This outta be a hot seller once everyone gets word of this price.

 

Dru have you gotten any Rx readings yet? how does it compared to your 8900?.......

 

Me neither. I do know how to access the manual programming menu though:

1. Power Off
2. Power On
3. Within 10 seconds: [2][8][9][MENU][#][1]

To exit manual programming press [SEND] to reboot the phone.

It is exactly like AVX-9500 except instead of [F>] key need to press [MENU].

 

Anybody know what Brew and Openwave version the phone has?

 

Hows the camera?

 

If it is the same as the Sprint version, it should be very good.

 

I may just get that phone as my brother totalled his, and needs a cheap replacement. I get new phone, he gets my old one.

 

A bit off topic:
Fathead, which Sprint phone did you get from your new job....

 

They list one in their accessory section for the 9900. I just bought a Bodyglove pouch. I don't like using phones with all that plastic covering everything

 

I start Monday, so no new phone yet. That's the other question, if i can get a better sprint phone cheaper, then no to the Audi.

 

Got the phone today and it seems great for the price. 2 things:
1) There is no banner
2) The keypad on the right side (end call and such) seems kinda of dim. Checked a couple of phones and all are like this.
Minor issues, but so far so good

 

Dru, the speaker sounds like it's a bit better from all previous Audis, my 9500 had the speakerphone but was useless in a noisy enviroment, i'm interested to know how RF differs on this one vs your 8900, Audiovox phones always seem to have good RF, specially the Toshiba manufacture ones....

 

Dru, though RF is not well measured by signal bars, have you noticed a difference in signal bar strength? someone posted pictures on Hofo and i noticed that the signal bars on the 9900 are lower than the LG 7K's...

Sounds just like the Sprint version!

 

Sounds like a pretty decent phone you have there.

 

Just picked this phone up and it is a winner! The RF is excellent and the color screen with graphics outstanding. I like the size of the screen as it is larger without loss of resolution.

This phone may be the best bargain or value for the money for Verizon in some time!

 

What are "secret" menus? How do you get to them?

 

I returned the Bodyglove pouch and tried the leather case available at the VZW store for $19.99. I originally said I didn't like the plastic covering the screen but for some reason this one is fine. I noticed that about the plastic covering on the keypad. It DOES make it easier to use.

I like the way the case doesn't cover the whole front. I think it's a nice look.
