@wirefly, bob you should condense the categories of each round to a more simple overall thing that applies to each phone, to say that the Photon wins in the pocket detection round well duh it has pocket detection, how about just saying "The Photon wins in the features round" or something like that if you were comparing a woman with big boobs to a woman with small boobs, would you say "well you do win the big boobs round"

@xXEl1m1n4tOrXx I don't have a script for these and I more or less take what I know about the phones and ad lib as I go along. I deliberately add things like "kickstand round" to make these funnier... not that anyone is passing out from an overdose of mirth. Thanks for the critique, though. I appreciate it.

Ey i have a question is the motorola photon work international??? Planing a trip to central america just wondering if it will work???

[wirefly]

@TheNicoya27 Yes, the Motorola Photon will work internationally. It has a SIM slot for GSM SIMs. If the phone is unlocked, you can use any GSM SIM. If the phone is locked (to Sprint), you have to go to a Sprint store and coordinate with them regarding the countries you will be in.

Plz respond......my evo 3D has been having issues and sprint is offering me to get a photon because of my issues with my evo3D but i dont know if i should switch my evo 3D for the photon....should it??

[wirefly]

@botafogo42 I'm not sure why you can't get another EVO 3D, but the Photon is a good phone. It doesn't have the fun 3D capability of the EVO 3D, but it has pretty similar performance overall. It's about as close to an even trade as you'll get on Sprint.

[funnycowcow]

The evo looks better :) the other phone is kinda ugly

There is a problem with quadrant on the evo3d where it locks CPU at 384mhz I forced both cores at full speed to fix it and was getting 3k+

Thanks Bob @wirefly I bought the Photon 4G last night and my wife picked the Evo 4G, good to know we are both going to be happy with similar phones.
