    Nope, Audiovox. Strange how SprintPCS wants to keep that scret.

    It's made by Curitel (http://www.curitel.com/english/index.asp) which
    used otbe a division of Hyundai
    (http://www.curitel.com/english/company/history.asp).

    (Product page: http://www.curitel.com/english/Product/cdma/TX-65B.asp
    )

    They are affiliated with Toshiba / Audiovox in some way, but I don't
    have the energy to search it all out.

    Curitel bought out Audiovox, and the phone is the only one sold by
    SprintPCS currently where the Manufacturer's name is not directly
    revealed.

    While it's not being shouted from the mountaintop, the box is pretty
    clearly labeled.

    If Curitel bought out Audiovox, then doesn't that make it a Curitel
    phone, even if the 'old' Audiovox made it?

    My Sprite was bottled by Coca-Cola, yet it's not a Coca-Cola.

    My friend's Fisher stereo was made by Sanyo (Yes, Sanyo owns Fisher),
    but it doesn't say 'Sanyo' anywhere on it.

    My neighbor's Saturn was made by GM, yet you don't see GM on it.

    Its certainly not a "by Sprint" phone, as a "by Samsung" phone is made
    by Samsung.

    Fine but thats not a SprintPCS website, and a buyer from the web
    wouldn't see the "Audiovix" till AFTER they got the phonne.

    SprintPCS is keeping it a secret.

    They won't see "Audiovix" then either... perhaps "audiovox" rather.
