The Apex of cellphones?

We're not sure whether calling Audiovox the "Apex of cellphones" is a compliment or a diss, but we do agree with Om Malik that they are on the cusp of shedding their image as being only a low-end handset manufacturer (though we do wish the phones were slightly better designed). Among the phones they announced this morning are the CDM-8930, a clamshell-style phone with a 1.3 megapixel digital camera and a swiveling, 2-inch, 262,000 color display and the CDM-8920, a clamshell-style phone with a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash.
