We have concluded our survey on the Sprint launch of Motorola phones. The key dates we got were Nov. 3 or Nov. 10. We believe the evidence suggests November 3 makes sense as November, to electronics sellers means Christmas season, so waiting an additional week does not make alot of sense from either companies point of view (S or MOT). The question we asked was the following:

1. Do you sell Motorola phones for the Sprint Network, not the Nextel Network?
2. Are you expecting to get Motorola phones?
3. When?
4. What models?

We called Sprint retail outlets across the U.S. over the past 10 days to gather our survey data.

Key findings from our survey are the following:

Many sprint stores already are selling the Motorola c290 which is a low-end candy bar phone.

The Sprint retail workers are expecting to get the RAZR, SLVR and KRZR. No PEBL and no Q in the line-up for sprint.

Silverdale, Washington (a Seattle suburb) seems to be a test market for Motorola phones as the store there had the RAZR already. Could Seattle suburbs be the test market? Could be in our mind. Las Vegas has been a big test market for Sprint in the past but maybe it was time for a change.
