EVEN the Motorola Razr?

Are you sure your not getting it mixed up with the KRZR? Or something?

Because I would LOVE the Moto Razr original on Sprint😁 Tell me if they are releasing the Moto Razr that is on Cingy, T-Mo etc in November

Thanks

The following phones will be out in the future, upcoming months, will be KRZR, RAZR, and the SLVR for Sprint.

Most important thing about those phones is that they will have EV-DO on it with their excellent content and speeds associated with the Power Vision network.

Thanks... I have one more question though πŸ™„

Can you roam to Canada? ( Preferably Vancouver, BC, Canada)

I live in the Seattle,WA area, so would that be possible?:S

That is correct, your Sprint phone will work in B.C. but it'll cost you. Check with a store in your area about rates and such. Also to answer your question from earlier in the thread the RAZR we are releasing will be the same as vzw's (the V3) but with the much better Sprint user interface.

Are you a Sprint employee?

Thanks for the answers 😁

I'm on NET10 ( A small carrier of Tracfone )

And their roaming charges are extremely good actually! ( 15c a minute!) And I have good service in Vancouver, BC, Canada :S

That's odd. 🀣 πŸ™„

Also the phones that are going to be released by Sprint such as the RAZR, KRZR and SLVR are all going to be with EV-DO so that is a plus that customers can use. Also don’t forget the dual mode phone but it wont have EV-DO but the IC902 will coming next year.

Does EV-DO give you better roaming or something?

I have no clue what EV-DO is. πŸ˜›

I may work for Sprint, I may not.... just call me an industry insider πŸ‘€ lol!

EV-DO stands for EVolution Data Optimized...
which boiles down to broadband speed data (DSL like speeds) on your phone. That means browsing the internet at blazing fast speeds (for a phone), streaming video and music, live TV, music downloads, etc...

Its great!!!!!

(And roaming converage)

sprint is currently working on a roaming agree ment that if they are sucessful will allow you to use evdo in suported areas in canada.

It would/could improve capacity and it could improve the footprint with all kinds of EV-DO roaming deals that Sprint set up with Alltel and others.
