I think the ego stroking, masturbatory / self-congratulatory banter about good causes and head inflation that will occur when Bono and Oprah get in the room together will cause televisions around the country to explode. :omg

CHICAGO and LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT - News) and U.S. Cellular (Amex: USM - News) today announced the availability of the RED MOTORAZR V3m, a new handset to support (RED), an initiative founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver to raise awareness and money for the Global Fund, an innovative public-private partnership created to finance a dramatic turnaround in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

"Together, we are offering consumers the opportunity to make a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa and create real change in the world."

U.S. Cellular has partnered with Motorola to be the exclusive carrier selling the RED MOTORAZR V3m in the store located at 666 Michigan Ave.

Ellison, executive vice president and chief operating officer of U.S. Cellular. "We are excited to offer customers a product that truly makes a difference."

Is this ever going to be available on a network other than U.S. Cellular?

 

Yep. Sprint in November. They're putting up a pre-order site that should go live soon. The phone was in a huge two-page spread in the Sun Times, which was kind of cool.

 

I tell you what, I was at the local mall over lunch runnign some errands and stopped in at the GAP...they sold out of their two tables full of (RED) apparel by 11AM. :omg The power of Oprah...
