The CDM-7000 offers features commonly found on much higher-end phones, including 32 polyphonic ringers, LED incoming call indicator, blue LED keypad lighting, two-way speakerphone, voice-activated dialing and PC sync. The handset has two-way SMS/EMS/MMS (system dependent) capabilities, T9 predictive text, and is equipped with 128 Mb Flash/32 Mb SRAM memory capabilities that accommodate up to 500 phonebook entries. The CDM-7000 supports PNG, BMP, JPEG image graphic formats and comes with a Li-Ion 850 mAH battery.

Next in the series is the CDM-7100, which adds dual LCD screens to the strong tech specs of the CDM-7000. The main display on the CDM-7100 is a 1.8" CSTN 65K Color LCD (128 x 160) and the sub-display screen is a 1" CSTN 4K Color LCD (96 x 64). This model supports BREW functionality.
