Sprint tools up with Razr

Throws fish to analysts

Steps to Take Before Choosing a Business Continuity Partner

Sprint is to start retailing the Motorola Razr handset for the first time in November.

The US cellco is also playing catch-up with competitors by carrying the next gen update of the Razr, the Motorola Krzr and its equally unpronounceable sister, the Moto Slver.

Today's pre-announcement should go some way to placating Christopher King, an analyst with Stifel, Nicolaus & Co, who in August blamed Sprint's poor handset roster for a disappointing sales quarter. "They don't have the [Motorola] Razr," he told Bloomberg. "It's been an extremely popular product that has changed the landscape of the industry." ®
