Sprint to announce red BONORAZR on Friday?

by Chris Ziegler posted Oct 9th 2006 at 1:58PM

It's no secret that Sprint will be going all Moto on us in the next few weeks, but we didn't realize how soon -- or how red -- their initial offering would be. Sources are telling us that Sprint will be announcing a red RAZR (the V3m, we're guessing, like the mockup above) to benefit AIDS charities, presumably in cooperation with Bono's Red organization, much like the red SLVR before it. Normally, we'd lash out at Sprint for being so late to the RAZR game with this one, but since it's for a good cause, we're going to bite our tongues just this once.

The red is not exclusive to Sprint. US Cellular will be selling a red and a burgundy V3m. Not sure if the US Cellular red V3m is tied to Bono's project.

Ok great that this is for a good cause but, ENOUGH WITH THE FRIKIN RAZR and it's old 1999 technology. This phone is like a pandemic we have to stop it.

Everyone drink your Kool-Aid and buy your RAZR and nobody gets hurt. Pay no attention to the men with the machine guns.

I'll buy this for the second line on my account just because I'm a Louisville fan...I like red.

It's $65 after rebate at Sprint:

Usually Wirefly has phones cheaper, but they don't seem to have them in stock yet (it just says, sign up for email alerts when it's available)

Is it only available through sprint and not any indirects right now?

No amount of financial aid is going to save the people of Africa from this disease. Rampant poverty, slavery, and prostitution will see to that end. But if you feel you must do something, give directly to the charity.

Let these businesses know that you and I, we, are not fooled by their tactic of latching sales to a humanitarian cause in order to drive their market. And let these celebrity promters of this campaign know that we are not fooled by their attempts to act like they actually care.

Who cares if its for donation?! I doubt they donate anything anyway, and even if they do, its only $10. But hey, even though its a RAZR and I'm sick and tired of them, its red. Its the coolest RAZR I've seen.
