Motorola RAZR V9m now available online from Sprint
A nice double whammy, huh? First Verizon with the Motorola Q9m and now this…Sprint has made the Motorola RAZR V9m available as promised through their website as well as, presumably, through business sales. The phone went up sometime today, and is currently available for $249.99 with a two year contract. The handset is more or less as we previously thought, sporting a large external LCD with touch-sensitive buttons, Sprint TV and Sprint Music Store support, EV-DO connectivity, and much more. All told, this is a suitable upgrade to Sprint’s current RAZR offerings, but we just hope that the $249.99 price point isn’t too high. It’s the carrier’s most expensive non-PDA phone by roughly $130, NEXTEL handsets not withstanding. Hit the link to get your blade on before the other carriers get their grubby little hands on ‘em…Go Moto! Go Moto!
Thanks, Ryan!
Sprint… can you just come out with the BlackBerry Curve already?!
WHO CARES ABOUT THESE OTHER CRAPPY PHONES YOU KEEP RELEASING!
1st comment!!!!
If they sell it with an instant rebate then why don’t they just sell it for the price after rebate? I mean even after the rebate it doesn’t look anymore affordable. But let’s see where it goes considering people paid upwards of $500 for an iPhone and most of us know the real tech behind that…
I’m sure, BG guys included, would love to know this.
Who bought one of these the moment they read this?
any word when the at&t variant will drop?
woof woof woof will sombody shut this moto dog up?
As much as I would want Sprint to release the BB Curve, I fear that it is not even on the radar screen.
Jeff, the first comment remarks are lame, and old hat. stop recylcing your comments from each thread. your question should be posed to Sprint, not here.
Way to go at&t not
I know that sounded like it was recycled but on the Q I asked who actually bought one or considered buying one and what else they were considering. Here I asked who bought one the moment they read this. So it’s technically not the same but I see what you’re getting at.
This is not a joke, I went to a sprint store after work to see if they had one in. The guy said, yes we have razrs 2 and then went and got a sanyo katina,, he not only had no clue what the razr2 was he had no clue what the sanyo was… pretty much, he had no clue.
sprint is not suppose to have this phone available in store until Sept. 4th.
still the rep should still know what the heck you are talking about.

The reason they offer a rebate instead of just lowering the price is twofold; in the first place it goes on the books as selling for asking price. The second reason is they can diddle around with the sales figures at the end of the fiscal year as in: “We had to give rebates just to get this model moving, hence we took a loss”. Both are just semantical excercises in creative book keeping. I’ve never owned a Motorola device – I handled the phone and I want one. I’m not a PDA/phone type of user. The V9m has all the features I want, some I’ll never activate, and not too many whizbangs. I’ll wait for the price to drop a little before I order two (one for my wife; she loves “tech” looking phones). BTW, I had the same Katana experience at a Sprint mall kiosk… morons!
