So what does Bono do after taking the
iconic MP3 player RED? Why, take the cellphone-equiv RED too, naturally.
Right on cue, Sprint and Motorola just announced their joint effort to the fight of AIDS in Africa, the (PRODUCT) RED MOTORAZR V3m. The V3m will launch with Sprint sometime in November for $305, or $65 with a two-year agreement and will come preloaded with five RED screensavers and even a red headset so everyone knows just how generous you are. Or aren't, since the press release only states that "Both Motorola and Sprint will contribute directly to the fund with each RED MOTORAZR sold at Sprint." Come on guys, this isn't just a thinly veiled attempt at marketing your NFL Mobile and Sprint Music Services is it -- we're talking a cut of the phone sales and at least
5% of call charges like the
UK's RED SLVR right? Expect more announcements from Moto as it looks like you'll be able to go RED with the
MOTOSLVR and
MOTOKRZR on Sprint when these launch for undisclosed prices in November as well.
[Thanks, r0fl]

The Product(Red) RAZR will also be offered through US Cellular (if anyone is interested).
Remember destination Q? I think it is destination (RED) now.
Kudos to U.S. Cellular!
Of course, the UK SLVR came well before the iPod ;)
You can actually purchase this right now for, i believe 2 weeks, at the MotoRED store on Michigan Ave in Chicago - not sure which carrier though.
Why are the red stuffs coming out all at once?? Red RAZR, red ipod nano, red jacket for ipod......what's next?
For every RED MOTORAZR that is purchased, $17 will be donated to (RED)'s efforts to support The Global Fund, which works to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in Africa.
Morons- Don't be fooled by this crap! The only thing that is going to stop the aids pandemic in Africa is when slavery and prostitution are no longer the top two forms of employment there.
American companies are going to practically "give away" treatments fopr the aforementioned diseases while monetarily raping their own fellow citizens for the same treatments.
And now, Motorola and Sprint are saying that they want a piece of that pie too.
What about AIDS in America? Don't American sufferers of AIDS deserve the same help as Africa and other countries? For my nickel, AIDS is being treated the same as cancer and other major diseases. As long as it is more profitable to treat than to cure there will never be a cure. This profitability comes from treatments, medicines, and grants for research.

I have had nothing but complaints with the (RED) RAZR. Battery life SUCKS, reception isn't that great, and we keeps having problems with the charging port.
