strange of all stranges, some lady at hot hardware .com or some such thing showed the phone in landscape mode as able to be set up with the port down OR up! problem solved.
Why is the video so short??? By the way, i hv both evo 3d and photon 4g, and i think evo 3d is better! u might think differently, but i dont really like photon 4g...
@somedirtyangel how's the phone like how much bars do you get on a daily basis? I have the samsung epic 4g touch from sprint and the signal is terrible. Should I switch?
Just bought this phone a few days ago. It seems like a pretty descent phone so far. Trying to decide whether to download the SPB shell 3d for $15.00. Seems to be a lot of people for and against the app.

To a previous poster..this is not an atrix in a different coat. I used the atrix and this device smokes it. This of a very fun phone to use..do wish it recorded 1080p and beefed up processors and internal 32gig as sgs2 will. It would be a keeper. Why did motorola skimp on such things when they made a device sooo close to perfect?...ugg!
u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste
Actually the photon is quite a bit faster than the 3D...Check all the benchmark tests on youtube...3D gets around 1900...Photon gets 26 and 2600 on Quadrant...Same averages on the rest of the benchmarks as well...I'm going to trade my 3D in for this one....Hell with Samsung...I will never ever ever buy another samsung. You'll see why if ya do...Nothing but problems and incredibly lax on customer service. Went through 4 of them personally.
@Statizzz Small is good for females but I prefer them to be at least this size...If i could make calls from a tablet and could find a belt clip for one...I'd probably carry that around.....
@crapbrat because apple has great marketing and they can make you think keyword think, you have the greatest phone out there watch what happens when the next iphone comes out its going to have half the features of phones out now but their going to say its "revolutionary" and its going to sell like hot cakes
@luisj2891My opinion? Not even a little it's something that you can actually hear in his videos so my opinion doesn't come into play. I can understand him perfectly too, but that's only because when he gargles the words or uses some random - sometimes even ill-fitting descriptive term - it's usually after the fact of the point he was trying to get across. You're welcome to your opinion too, but far as I'm concerned he needs to slow down a few ticks so he can put the kibosh on that tendency.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I swear they put the usb port where it is specifically to impede you from charging and using the stand. They want you to buy the dock accessory. :-\
@luisj2891 Yeah i too enjoy listening to him gargle words and use adjectives that don't make sense to describe a screen or its viewing angles or something -cough-
@YouHateGasgara The HTC ThunderBolt is better, but your comment is getting a little too old. Although my HTC Sensation is far more superior than the HTC ThunderBolt. However that's not to say that the HTC ThunderBolt is a bad phone by any means.
this is a really hot and good fone from my opinion..i tested it out in the store its runs super fast nd the on screen keyboard is amazing i have no problem typing..nd the cam takes great pics..the only thing that bothers me is that it doesnt have mem card..but it makes up for it by having alot of space 16gb thats good
Bought the phone took it back 3hrs later, the pentile is just bad, camera is weak and the camera button sux, photo quality is bad. The antanna is bad, not displaying the right amount of bars. Went back and got my EVo 3D. Displaying is bad.
@YouHateGasgara shut the fuck up dude, u can shove that thunderbolt up your anoying ass! Every fucking video u comment about yout htc thundercrap, really, things get much better over time, and believe it or not, there ARE things that are waaay better than ur htc..
@TheClintMan72 you say that but i have a captivate yes it has alot of plastic. In a storm it got blown out of my hand and ran over by a car the screen was cracked but that is it still working cause the plastic flexed and absorbed the impact i love plastics
@TheClintMan72 its not really cheap actually its just the fact that its made up of recycle material...wich makes it more light weight and plasticy nd actually better not cheap
@PhoneArena Is it possible to video-chat via the front camera when it's hooked up to the pc or do I need to buy a webcam for that? Keep up the good work, guys!
@djmusic121 But there's a difference between a phone having "touches" and integrating a totally new interface. The Motorola Applications platform is a completely different UI, sorry for that rant. LOL
The USB and HDMI ports are placed there to encourage us to buy a dock...
