UTStarcom CDM-7126
The UTStarcom CDM-7126 is the first CDMA cell phone to support the new AWS networks. Packed inside this simple, yet elegant clamshell design are some great features. It supports Bluetooth technology, comes with BREW software version 3.1.5 and much more. The UTStarcom CDM-7126 will win no beauty contest, but its capabilities and features are seemingly endless.
Its total dimensions are 3.6 by 1.9 by .7 inches and it weighs in at a mere 3 oz. This easily makes it one of the smallest and lightest phones on the market.
Despite the small size and weight, the phone does not cut short on battery life. Its Li-Ion 900 mAh battery provides a decent talk time of 5.2 hours and a standby time of 248 hours, or roughly 10 days.
Unlike most other clamshell phones, the UTStarcom CDM-7126 has no external display. Even the internal display is nothing much to speak of. The 1.8-inch LCD screen has an average resolution of 128 by 160 pixels and supports 65,536 (16-bit) colors.
The UTStarcom CDM-7126 includes aGPS (assisted GPS). It also supports HSP, HFP 1.5, Bluetooth 2.0 and has a built-in miniUSB connector on the top of the phone. It lacks both a camera and a music player. For SMS sending, the phone includes some text templates and features T9 predictive text entry. The form factor is nice and the voice quality is decent. No surprises here.
Pros

Overall
The UTStarcom CDM-7126 is a good phone, but not a great one. It has great functionality and runs on the new AWS networks. It does, however, lack some of the more basic elements that are expected on phones these days. It lacks a camera and a music player. It has no expandable memory, but not much is needed without a camera and music option. The UTStarcom CDM-7126 is just a basic phone that will work just about anywhere. It has no thrills, but for those who just want a phone to be a phone, this one is just that.
