As expected, Sprint has come forth today with their very own SLVR from Motorola, the
L7c -- the latest in a
barrage of popular Moto products conspicuously missing from Sprint's lineup until just very recently. The announcement is particularly notable for two reasons; first and foremost, Sprint's press release marks the first carrier introduction of the CDMA SLVR anywhere. The more interesting secondary story here, though, is that Sprint has
finally beaten Verizon to the punch in announcing an anticipated handset -- music to the ears of Sprint customers that have watched their carrier sit idly by as their rival scoops
hotness after
hotness. Sprint hasn't yet announced pricing or availability for the L7c, but now that they've laid their... uh, SLVRs out on the table, we're thinking it won't be long now.

At last!! sprint can now offer the same gadget as other wireless provider, it's kinda late player to me though.

I've been mystified by the popularity of this phone. Looks like a stylish Nokia that'll break first time you drop it. Any help on this?

Dear God;
Please help motorola to STOP releasing these goddamned phones three times a week so I can at some point paruse my favorite tech/gadget blogs without having to read a new article EVERY time one is released. It has long ago surpassed mere annoyance and is now in the realm of utter vexation. I just can't do it anymore. Please help.

Woohoo! One more reason to stay away from Sprint. Horrible phone on an even more horrible network.
Woohoo!

LOREE @ Nov 12th 2006 12:20AM
Ahhh...i cant believe best but(??dont know what state??) has the motorola red. where im from, not even the sprint stores carry them. i qualify for an account with sprint, but if they dont keep up with thier customer service im outing them. I WANT THE MOTORAZR RED!!!
gabe @ Nov 12th 2006 11:34AM
Bestbuy was to have this phone starting today... but couldn't find it there... grrrrr
They also said they don't do Sprint updgrades... ( the $150 off deal ) they only do Cingular...
Same with the Samsung M500, but they do have that one... it looks better than the Rarz... after all, the stupid Razr is already over a year old... so why get it when we are going to be stuck with it for the next two years ???
