Audiovox is previewing its first GPS-enabled, 3G handset -- the 9155GPX - at the Consumer Electronics Show this week. The 9155GPX is a CDMA tri-mode (800 MHz CDMA, 1900 MHz PCS and 800 MHz AMPS), web-enabled, 1XRTT-capable handset equipped with the MSM5100 chipset that has gpsOne-based position location.

The 9155GPX is 3G CDMA2000 1XRTT capable to enable high-speed wireless connectivity of up to 115 Kbps for web browsing, email and mobile e-commerce functions, as well as simultaneous reception of audio, video and text data.

The 9155GPX is equipped with the MSM5100 chipset, which features gpsOne position location technology, enabling compatible carriers to track a handset user's location. The handset also features a web browser (UP 4.1), two-way short message service (SMS), voice-activated dialing and a two-way speakerphone.

According to Mr. Christopher, the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the handset will be $299, although carrier subsidies may result in lower retail pricing.
