PCD CDM 8950

If you're looking for a simple cell phone, then the PCD CDM 8950 definitely fits the bill. This clamshell cell phone is offered by Verizon Wireless, and has the basic features you need to get the function out of your phone without the excess "bling." It has a built in music player and external music controls, so this option is a plus for people who enjoy listening to music with their phones. It also has a built in 1.3 megapixel digital camera and camcorder, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD memory slot. The battery has an average talk time of 4.7 hours. The front screen when closed shows the time, battery life, and Caller-ID.

Pros

• Music and video player
• 3G capability
• Expansion card slot

Cons

The phone is almost too simple at times, and it often feels like you want more than what is being offered.

• Screen is low resolution
• Not very stylish
• Phone may heat up when used continuously for some time

Overall

The PCD CDM 8950 is a good choice for people who need nothing more than a cell phone to use for phone calls. Ideally, this cell phone is great for the older cell phone user who needs something to do the job and nothing more. For the younger set, it may not be quite as appealing. It's made to connect people on the telephone and perhaps listen to a few songs, but it's not really designed for heavy use, Internet browsing, or photos.
