Amazon.com Product Description
Not your typical cell phone, the tiny, stylish PCS Vision Video Phone VM4050 from Audiovox by Toshiba gives PCS Vision customers the ability to record video and audio directly on their mobile phones, then e-mail it to anyone, anywhere across the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Using External Picture Caller ID you can link a picture or downloaded graphic to the contacts in the phone's internal phone book and see who's calling without even opening the phone.
The phone's built-in camera and camcorder let you take and send still images (at VGA, 640 x 480-pixel resolution) or up to 15-seconds of full-motion video. Easy to use, the auto-focus phone boasts a 260K, full-color screen (310 x 350 pixels). It also has 4x digital and 2x telescopic zooms for taking still photos. The handset features a sub-LCD slot so you can preview a picture before taking it, as well as a built-in self-timer. Choose from 17 different frames to make picture-taking fun.
Save your videos on the phone or store them online. You can attach a 10-second voice message and text message to your video, and the handset stores up to 30 videos at once. An integrated camera/video light enhances both still pictures and video.
The phone features a spectacular 2.2-inch main LCD--a 260K, TFT, 18-bit color display--as well as an outside color LCD, which uses STN technology and supports 65K colors.
A built-in speakerphone makes hands-free operation a cinch. Use the voice-memo feature to record reminders, save conversations, or record and use voices as ringers or alerts. The phone's Voice Guidance voice output provides spoken output of phone numbers, call logs, and other details (supports voice and text prompts in English and Spanish).
A supplied standard rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 3.3 hours continuous talk time and up to 10 days of continuous standby time in digital mode, with up to 1.5 hours continuous talk and up to 15 hours continuous standby time in analog mode. When used with an extended rechargeable lithium-ion battery (not included), you get up to 4.5 hours continuous talk and up to 15 days continuous standby time in digital mode and up to 2.8 hours continuous talk and up to 30 hours continuous standby in analog mode.
Express your personality with hundreds of unique downloadable polyphonic, animated, and voice ringers, including the latest music releases, show tunes, and sound effects which you can assign to specific incoming numbers.
Using Sprint's messaging service you can send and receive e-mail, exchange text messages, or even join a chat room. PCS Vision lets you personalize your wireless service by wirelessly downloading screen savers right from their phone, many of which feature synchronized animation.
Other features include a personal organizer (with calendar, to-do list, alarm, timer, calculator, clock, and internal 300-slot phone book--up to five numbers for each entry), an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip necessary for using E911 emergency location services (where available), graphically enhanced single- and multi-player games, full-color graphic versions of popular Internet sites, compatibility with PCS Business Connection, and compatibility with select TTY devices.

PCS Phone Audiovox/Toshiba VM4050 (Sprint) Reviews
| 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful  Toshiba - Sanyo - Toshiba - Sanyo ..... Toshiba!, By A Customer This review is from: PCS Phone Audiovox/Toshiba VM4050 (Sprint) (Wireless Phone) Looking for a new phone with camera and web functionality, I considered the Toshiba VM4050 and the Sanyo VM4500 and ended up with the Toshiba. Both have good VGA quality cameras and camcorders; the Toshiba screen is much better than the Sanyo; I don't need the PTT (push to talk) feature; and I don't use the speakerphone much (prefer an ear bud). But, having said that, I did initially purchase the Sanyo and returned it because friends on the other end of the line said the voice quality was awful ("in a tunnel", "far away", "didn't pick up much sound"). I didn't think the voice quality on my end through the ear piece sounded that great either. I tested several phones - including my trusty old Nokia, lower end model Sanyos, Samsungs, and finally the Toshiba - of all of them, the Sanyo VM4500 was still the worst (though the Sanyo 8100 was considered good sound quality, the Sprint lady at the Wilshire store told me that there are none to be found anywhere...

I was skeptical at first because this is Toshiba's first non PDA phone for Sprint. I was deciding between this and the Sanyo 4500 and it was a tough choice, until I saw the phones side by side in the store.The Toshiba's screen is MUCH larger and MUCH sharper. The screen is computer screen quality. PROS CONS 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful  Best phone I've had yet., By This review is from: PCS Phone Audiovox/Toshiba VM4050 (Sprint) (Wireless Phone) I go through phones about 1 per year. And I usually get the latest and greatest. Yes, I'm a guy, and yes I like flashy gadgets :-)The screen is absolutely phenomenal. I was sold after I saw it. Super bright and displays pictures perfectly. The camera is good, for a camera phone. I was disappointed with the zoom, or lack there of (only 2x). And you have to set the zoom after you reduce the resolution of the pictures. Which you have to do in the menu and can't do while you're framing your shot. The video camera is neat. Not a great frame rate at all, but hey, it's a phone. It's a cool toy. I've read some of the other reviews that say the battery life is average. I've found it to be quite good. I use my phone about 30 minutes a day, either calling, taking pictures or being on the web, and my charge lasts several days. The signal and call quality is as good as my other phones. I live in LA, so the Sprint coverage is pretty good. The one knock I have is the battery... Read more |
