T-Mobile USA makes RAZR available at retail

BELLEVUE, Wash.-T-Mobile USA Inc. said it has begun offering the Motorola Inc. RAZR handsets through its retail stores and authorized dealers. The handset was initially made available through the carrier’s Web site earlier this week for $200.

The quad-band GSM/GPRS handset includes a metallic finish, chemically etched keypad made from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy, embedded Bluetooth technology, an integrated camera, and both internal and external color displays.

Cingular Wireless L.L.C. has offered the handset through an exclusive arrangement with Motorola in the United States since last year. Cingular continues to offer both a silver and black version of the handset for $200.
