Although a Singapore-born company, Razer is focusing on Western markets for the initial Razer Phone rollout, with launches in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Denmark, and Sweden. Pre-orders open later today, with sales kicking off November 17.

The Razer Phone is basically a dark-side version of the cutesy Nextbit Robin, following Razer’s acquisition of the fledgling phone maker at the start of the year.

The launch comes ahead of Razer’s US$4.5 billion IPO, slated for November 13.
