'Verizon Wireless, the first wireless carrier to deliver widely available 3G EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) wireless broadband network, is now also the first to offer the CDM8940 handset, the only EV-DO phone to feature a built-in 1.3 mega pixel camera/camcorder and memory expansion up to 512 MB with a mini-SD slot. The CDM8940 from UTStarcom Personal Communications (formerly Audiovox Communications Corp.) a division of UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI - News), allows Verizon Wireless customers to access V CAST -- the nation's first 3G wireless broadband multimedia service for consumers -- to view crystal clear video on demand and graphics for 3D games.
In addition to the built-in 1.3 mega pixel camera that doubles as a video camcorder and features a macro function and built-in flash, the first-in-class CDM8940 features a large 2-inch, 262K color main screen, perfect for viewing video clips on V CAST -- customers can select from 300 daily updated video clips from leading content providers. With an easily accessible mini-SD slot, customers can add up to 512MB of memory to their CDM8940 so they can store their video clips and photos and take them wherever they go.'
