The tri-mode, 1xRTT capable CDM-9500 will be marketed as Verizon Wireless and manufactured by Audiovox/Toshiba. It supports Verizon Wireless’ 'Get it Now' 1xRTT-based wireless data service, offering a number of services including downloadable games, photo albums, ring tones and more. The clamshell-style handset also boasts dual-screens - a large, nine-line 16-bit color LCD inside which allows users to browse the web, and a two-line LCD screen outside that shows instant information such as caller ID.
Weighing in at 3.8 oz, the CDM-9500 is also equipped with location-based positioning technology, a two-way speakerphone and two-way text messaging. Combined with a Mobile Office connectivity kit and laptop or PDA, customers can get access to transferring packet data on Verizon Wireless CDMA2000 1xRTT network, currently available in more than 900 cities across the U.S according to Verizon. Citing numbers from Verizon Wireless, real life data transfer speeds on what is dubbed the 'Express Network' average 40 to 60 Kbps.
Verizon Wireless is introducing the CDM-9500 at a retail price of $249.99 USD with a two-year service contract and a $100 USD rebate through Jan. 1, 2003 when customers mail in a working wireless phone and proof of purchase documents. The phone can be purchased at Verizon Wireless Communications Stores or from Verizon's website.
