i own the photon 4g and i love it is blazing fast great multitasking device .battery is good great resolution, lot of internal memory . lots of ram 1G . not to mention it has gorilla glass so it wont scratch . This phone is truly great i would recommend it to any one who wants a fast good looking phone.
I think the big question is not what are the normal apps... But can you use the sweet ones with this MoPho! Such as Netflix ... how is the quality..? Qik?....quality ,,,? Tango and other video chat applications , Also would like to see how movie playback quality is etc... you know the good stuff!
You know the ONLY reason that I would never in my life buy this phone?
Moto's bootloader policy.
That right there is plenty of reason enough to make me want to run as far as possible from their phones.
I'll keep my Evo 3D, thanks. (Dev's have already gotten S-Off on it if your more inclined to give it a college try, rather than wait for a 1 click method)
Motorola's phones are just so boring. If you're gonna take the time to skin Android at least make it different enough that it doesn't look like a themed version of stock Android. That's why HTC's Sense UI is so popular;
@androidfunmore From my knowing that's the standard resolution of all front-facing cameras to date, I don't understand why they can't incorporate anything better than a 1.3mp FCC yet ..
@jasmmmm yea but i just love the design of it and the kickstand and im sure the bionic is not going to have the kickstand. is qhd better than super amoled plus? do you know?
@stk931 They're a bit pricier than the rest, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I first had Sprint and T-Mobile, and i had all sorts of problems with them. Finally i became fed up enough, switched to Verizon, and i have had absolutely no problems. While i agree that VZW's prices are higher than everyone else it isn't drastically so. Fortunately i get a 25% discount on my bill and accessories with them because of my job, so i actually pay even less than i did with other carriers.
That's how all the new Motorola phones are. Laggy as HELL. That's why my Droid X2 Got sold the first month I had it. I'm using a Rooted and rommed Charge now instead with an Incredible 2 as my back up..... The lack of SD card is a HUGE turn off. This phone hopefully won't sell for any more than $200 Because the EVO 3D is 100X better and it's only $200
For such a monster chip, it's still laggy on something as common as screen rotation when he popped the kickstand. How much power does Android need to actually run smoothly? Almost every major release reminds me of someone trying to cram Vista onto a netbook. The SG2 seems like the only Android phone that really works well, and after months on the market, hasn't had any major bugs pop up.
