Audiovox made a splash earlier this month when it introduced the SMT56000, its first Windows Mobile-based smart phone to include the portable version of Windows Media Player (WMP) 10.0. Then just two weeks later, it announced four additional mobiles at the CTIA show in San Francisco. This fall event is much smaller than the show in the spring, but that didn't stop Audiovox from introducing some firsts for the company.
Joining the company's existing PPC4100 Pocket PC mobile, the Audiovox PPC6600 and PPC6601 smart phones offer Sprint PCS customers a host of business-friendly features, including e-mail support, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, an SDIO expansion slot, and an integrated QWERTY keyboard. And for corporations that ban camera phones, the PPC6601 omits the VGA camera found on the PPC6600. Alternatively, the CDM-8940 packs in EVDO data speeds and a 1.3-megapixel camera into an attractive flip design, while the CDM-8615 offers less-demanding users a speakerphone and voice-activated dialing.

Audiovox is marching to a new beat in the hopes of capturing the youth market with the introduction of its Vox 8610. Designed solely for Virgin Mobile's pay-as-you-go service and integrated with teen-friendly features, the flip phone also marks the launch of two new Virgin Mobile offerings: song ID and musical "superphonic" ring tones. Introduced at this year's CTIA, the Vox 8610 will hit stores soon, with a $119.99 price tag that puts it in the middle of Virgin Mobile's handset lineup.
Upside: Music is the main theme here. The Vox 8610's superphonic ring tones, available through the carrier's Web site, will deliver actual musical clips from selected artists while Music ID, available on all Virgin Mobile phones beginning in April, will allow users to get information about songs they hear on the radio. After dialing *ID and recording 15 seconds of clear audio, Virgin Mobile will then send a text message with the song title and artist. The Vox 8610 also improves on Audiovox's first Virgin Mobile phone, the CDM-8500, by adding a 65,000-color internal screen. Other features include a black-and-white external display, a two-way speakerphone, and access to a variety of content via the MTV wireless portal.
