Go (RED) for Valentine's Day with the Power to Fight AIDS in Africa

Motorola and Sprint have announced a milestone in contributions from sales of the RED MOTORAZR V3m. To date, sales of the wireless phone designed to help eliminate AIDS in Africa can cover the annual cost of antiretroviral treatment for AIDS for more than 12,000 people. (RED) was founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver to raise awareness and money for the fight against AIDS in Africa. The groundbreaking initiative engages the private sector to create (PRODUCT) RED-branded products and deliver a portion of the profits directly to The Global Fund to invest in African AIDS programs with an emphasis on the health of women and children.

Sprint is the exclusive national carrier for the RED MOTORAZR V3m, which first became available in early November. Sprint's current advertising campaign focuses on the device in an effort to increase awareness for (RED) and grow participation in this important project. Both Sprint and Motorola contribute directly to The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria with each RED MOTORAZR sold at Sprint.

The MOTORAZR V3m is one of Motorola's thinnest multimedia phones for the CDMA network and features a refined metal housing and sculptured clamshell shape. The bold red hue of the RED MOTORAZR makes a striking statement complimenting its ultra-thin, attractive design. On the Sprint Mobile Broadband network, RED MOTORAZR joins MOTOKRZRTM, MOTORAZRTM and MOTOSLVRTM as the only versions of these iconic handsets to offer access to:
- Sprint Music Store, which allows users to browse and wirelessly download full-length songs directly to their phone;
- Sprint TV with more than 50 channels of live television and on-demand video and audio;
- NFL Mobile, a Sprint-exclusive wireless application that brings fans access to same-day video highlights, customizable real-time statistics, scores, injury reports and other information;
- Sprint Movies, the first "pay-per-view" service for mobile phones in the U.S. that streams full-length movies, including recent box-office hits and timeless favorites.

Packaged with a stylish headset, The RED MOTORAZR includes five unique (PRODUCT) RED themed preloaded screen savers. Additional features include a 1.3-megapixel digital camera with 4x digital zoom and video capture, playback and streaming, GPS enabled, Bluetooth technology, speakerphone and a microSD memory card slot.
