Verizon Wireless and Audiovox today announced the launch of the Audiovox CDM-9900, a digital video and camera phone with a 2.2 inch, high-resolution Quarter Video Graphics Array (QVGA) LCD screen.

The CDM-9900 has many features perfect for customers who love to use their phones to capture memories, play games and more. With the phone built-in camcorder, customers can capture 15 seconds of video, or use the embedded flash for still photos with the built-in 640x480 pixel VGA camera. The handset has a TFT 260K18-bit color display and outside color LCD uses STN technology that supports 65K colors so customers can see who is calling when they link photos and graphics to the caller ID.

The CDM-9900 also boasts a built-in speakerphone perfect for hands-free operation, voice memo, voice activated dialing and voice guidance and an internal 300-slot phone book, each capable of holding up to five numbers and three e-mail addresses. The CDM-9900 comes with a standard rechargeable LiIon battery for up to 196 minutes of talk time or up to 360 hours of standby time in digital mode.

The Audiovox CDM-9900 is available beginning tomorrow for $49.99 with a two-year customer agreement.
