HAUPPAUGE, NY - August 30, 2002 - Keeping track of those who are naughty or nice this year is a snap for Santa because he can do it on his Audiovox Thēraä Pocket PC and take those records with him wherever he goes. So take a hint from Santa and go wireless this holiday season by placing Audiovox’s new line of CDMA2000 1X phones and Pocket PCs right on top of your holiday gift-giving list. In fact, here are some ‘really cool,’ fun and very useful gifts that are sure to delight even the elf who has just about everything.

Pocket PCs Let Santa Surf the ‘Net and Phone Home, Wirelessly

Two Pocket PCs that are about the size of a 3” X 5” file card and weigh only 7 ounces, each, provide users with maximum mobile communications and computing capabilities. The 2032SP, by Toshiba and available through Sprint PCS, as well as the Thēraä, from Verizon Wireless, are feature-rich, user-friendly Pocket PCs that provide integrated CDMA2000 1X wireless voice and data capabilities. Sleek and compact, these hot handheld devices transform any place into a virtual office by enabling high-speed wireless Internet access, wireless voice communications and a host of popular mobile Microsoft Windows applications such as Pocket Word, Outlook, Excel and Internet Explorer.

Powered by Intel Strong ARM 206 MHz processors and boasting full-color displays, these Pocket PCs are as powerful as they are sharp. They’re the perfect mobile companions for busy business travelers, realtors, sales reps, doctors, lawyers and any other professionals or users who need instant access to data, documents and wireless communications whenever and where ever they may be.

Finding Santa is a Snap with GPS-Enabled Phones

Afraid of being stranded in a snowdrift? Then Audiovox’s 9155-GPX wireless phone, paired with compatible E911 wireless networks, can help dig you out of trouble. This tri-mode (800 Mhz CDMA, 1900 MHz PCS and 800 MHz AMPS) CDMA2000 1X-enabled wireless handset is equipped with gpsOne™ location-based positioning technology. In an emergency, dialing “911” on a 9155-GPX phone, through a compatible E911network, will alert authorities to your precise location. This advanced handset features a two-way speakerphone, is web-enabled, compact and weighs only 3.8 ounces.

Next in Audiovox’s gift bag of wireless wonders is the CDM-9500, a colorful and fashionable, clamshell style phone. The CDM-9500 features a nine-line, 64k color TFT display on the inside AND a second two-line display outside for quick and easy reference about who’s calling. In addition, this BREW™-enabled beauty lets users on compatible carrier networks download ring tones, wallpapers and screensavers, including snapshots of their own “Secret Santas.” GPS-enabled, this tri-mode, CDMA2000 1X handset, offers high-speed wireless Internet access at speeds up to 144 Kbps (kilobytes per second – speed is network dependent). It’s packed with the full-array of wireless features that consumers demand – all Santa needs to add is a bow.

For wireless aficionados, the Audiovox CDM-8300 adds two-way speakerphone capability and voice-activated dialing to its list of “must-have” wireless features for the person on the go. CDMA2000 1X-capable and gpsOne equipped, this tri-mode handset offers high-speed web browsing and-email access as well as the latest voice and text messaging features.

A Phone Even the Grinch Could Love

Next on this year’s gift list is a lightweight phone that packs heavyweight features – the CDM-8200 – a tri-mode CDMA phone that operates on the 800 MHz CDMA/AMPS and 1900 PCS frequencies. Weighing in at just 3.2 ounces, this ergonomically designed handset boasts a built-in speaker phone, web browser, two way short messaging service (SMS), T9 predictive text input, vibrating alert and many more of the most sought-after wireless phone features.

Santa Says, “Wireless Accessories Make Perfect Stocking Stuffers!”

Tired of snow globes and soap on a rope? Stuff those stockings with useful Audiovox accessories that enhance the portability, practicality and personality of wireless products and Pocket PCs. Among the most requested phone accessories this season are cigarette lighter chargers, hands-free headsets and installed hands-free units for cars. Audiovox also has interchangeable color faceplates for the 9155-GPX phone that come in pink and galaxy black as well as in popular American flag and football motifs. Audiovox Thēra, Maestro and Toshiba 2032 Pocket PC users would be pleased to find a collapsible keyboard, cigarette lighter charger or customized leather portfolio with their name on it.

The RTM-8000 – Turns Pocket PCs and PDAs into Global Wireless Phones

It used to be hard to stay in touch while traveling around the world in a sleigh, but now Audiovox makes it easy with the RTM-8000. This Compact Flash card enables GSM subscribers to convert their Pocket PC and PDA handheld devices into wireless communications tools for high-quality voice communications and high-speed GPRS data. The RTM-8000 is a tri-band unit operating on the EGSM 900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 frequencies. Simply plug the RTM-8000 into the appropriate slot on a PDA or Pocket PC and the device can be used to surf the Internet, send and receive E-mails and Short Message Service (SMS) as well as make and receive phone calls. Moreover, the RTM-8000 enables users to accomplish these functions at data speeds as high as 57.6 Kbps (system dependent).
