Motorola SLVR RED

Motorola is supporting the RED campaign with one incarnation of its SLVR handset.

When you buy the phone, and as you use it, contributions are made by your operator to the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.

All the UK's major operators have the handset and are taking part.

It is a superb idea, and one I think should be adopted more widely by handset manufacturers.

The SLVR itself is a neat, thin, good looking phone but it is decidedly average in specifications and capabilities. You can read my review at TrustedReviews.com here.

The Motorola SLVR RED is a good first step, and I'd really like to see Motorola - and others - adopt this approach on a wider range of handsets, including some desirable top end models and others throughout their ranges.
