    March 24, 2009

    The Good: The Verizon Wireless CDM8975 is a robust push-to-talk phone with features like a megapixel camera, EV-DO, and a music player.

    The Bad: The Verizon Wireless CDM8975 has a lackluster design, the external display is washed out, and photo quality is average.

    The Bottom Line: The Verizon Wireless CDM8975 is a decent push-to-talk phone with good midtier features.
