Sprint, Verizon both announce Motorola RAZR 2 V9m

August 10th, 2007 | Category: Cellphones

Neither carrier has launched it just yet, but yes — the RAZR 2 V9m has now officially found a domestic on both Sprint and Verizon, with both promising availability in the next few weeks. To split hairs, Sprint will be beating its sworn enemy by a few days, launching its variant on August 22, while Verizon’s just promising “September” at that point. Unless AT&T manages to pull a rabbit out of its hat, it looks like the two will be the first in the US to launch what Motorola hopes will be the

centerpiece of a turnaround for its flagging handset trade. Thanks to EV-DO, appealing styling (yes, we realize we’ll be really tired of it in a couple years, but it’s still hot for now), and a gargantuan external display with touch controls, the phone is being positioned on the higher end of both carriers’ dumbphone offerings — and the price reflects it. Look for it for $300 with a $50 rebate on Verizon, $250 on Sprint, both on a two-year agreement.
