A Rare “First” For Sprint: MOTOSLVR L7c
by
Motorola’s SLVR is making its CDMA debut. But not on Verizon Wireless.
VZW seems to get more than its share of “firsts”, so this debut is noteworthy because it’s happening on Sprint. It’s Sprint’s first candybar high speed EVDO-capable handset and the only CDMA SLVR handset out there, at least for a while. (Update: It will, we’re told, be available exclusively as a Sprint product at Best Buy stores and on Best Buy’s wireless.bestbuy.com website.)
Sprint TV, the Sprint Music Store and On Demand services are all available, plus Bluetooth, microSD memory capability and VGA still & video camera, in the familiar half-inch-thick package. (Update: Best Buy is offering the phone for $59.99 with the usual incentives and fine print.)

Sprint announced that it would be releasing the MOTOSLVR, but I have yet to see it. I have been checking in stores in my area (Oregon), and online, and have not seen it actually enter the Sprint lineup. Any news on when it is going to be released?

Wes: It has been released. It is, as I understand it, a Best Buy exclusive. Go to a Best Buy store or Best Buy’s website. I saw it at wireless.bestbuy.com for $59.99. Happy hunting! - John
