UTStarcom Personal Communications Unveils New Handsets at CTIA Wireless


ORLANDO, Fla. and HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., March 27 /- Wireless carriers and their subscribers are in sync when it comes to what they want in a good, basic handset -- easy-to-use, reliable, affordable and with a bit of style. UTStarcom Personal Communications, a division of UTStarcom, Inc. (NASDAQ:UTSI), continues to deliver just that with the introduction of its new clamshell CDM7026 wireless phone and CDM7076 camera phone. Sporting internal antennas and larger main displays, these new compact, lightweight handsets will be on display at UTStarcom Personal Communications' booth (#3962) at CTIA Wireless March 27-29 in Orlando, FL.
