Audiovox CDM-120
The Audiovox CDM-120 is known by many as the no thrills phone. This statement itself should not put buyers off, it is just a phone for those that believe cell phones are to communicate and not perform the other wide range of functions that are given to phones today. If you're looking for something that takes photographs, stores loads of games and has high speed Internet access then you may want to purchase a more advanced model of phone. However, if you're looking for something comfortable, reliable and that offers good value for money then the CDM-120 is worth a second look.
Users of the phone cite of its greatest benefits as comfort. It has a design that is easy to grip and hang onto. It is thicker than other phones, making it easy to handle and reducing the cuts and skin bruises that are associated with other thinner styles of phones. The phone is still however, quite compact. The Audiovox CDM-120 is about the thickness of a Nickel standing up when folded. Although this phone isn't the smallest on the market this makes it likely the thinnest phone you can buy before you get into the category off the ultra thin RAZR phone.
Usability is also a great advantage when it comes to this phone. All of the buttons are clearly marked and adequately spaced. This helps those who may have larger hands or who are a but clumsy reduce the amount of mistakes and misdialing that they would normally get with smaller more compact phones. The buttons are also raised, making them easier to locate and press. When it comes to mobile phones, smaller and thinner doesn't always amount to better.
The sound quality on the CDM-120 is rated as excellent. The sounds are crisp and clear and the quality does not chance from speakerphone, to earphone or earpiece. The volume control also has a wide range so you can adjust the sound to suit you or the environment around you. It is also in a convenient location, close to your thumb allowing you to adjust the volume and speak using only a single hand. The CDM-120 allows you to hear the other party as if the are right next to you and can be adjusted to account for wind or other environmental aspects that can influence the sound.
Users cite the preferred color for this phone as being black. The phone is not highly resistant to dents and scrapes and the color black helps to hide these blemishes. The phone can take its share of knocks and one shouldn't feel they need to handle the phone as if it is made of glass. They are reasonable durable just not highly so. The phone is also available in silver but wear and tear will soon show itself if you're not careful.
One of the largest criticisms of the CDM-120 is that there is no data interface option. As stated above, it is a phone for communication. However, those who want to transfer data do find fault with this phone. Some have complained about having to transfer hundreds of number manually which is time consuming and tedious. In today's world, with electronic phonebooks being a must, having no data interface does put the CDM-120 a bit behind the others.
The CDM-120 does have a few features to it. For those that must have games they do have a few. One also has the option to subscribe to various services and enhance the capabilities of the phone. However, these are not the most exciting of options. The speakerphone has also been listed as one of the phones key features. The convenience and quality of the volume control do add to its usability and popularity.
Despite the fact that the phone has very few added thrills to it, the phone does rate quite high in popularity among its users. The easy to handle and comfortable grip ease hand stress and enable us to talk for longer periods of time without obtaining injury. The sound quality is second to none and its convenience in altering the sound to suit what is happening around you adds to the popularity of this phone. The ease of use is also a key advantage to this phone with easy to locate and operate buttons. When all things are considered the phone offers good value for money. It is plain and practical but it is reliable and user friendly.
