But only to hold me over until the SGS2 comes from Sprint.
I need a new toy to play with and the Epic on any software bothers me with its problems.
Is this MoPho noticeably quicker than the Epic? I played with store demo for a bit
but still not enough time and thorough to make this judgement for myself =]

Well, I came from the Epic. I thought it was a great phone, but I really love the photon! Blur can be a little laggy going from screen to screen. Use launcher pro and it flies. Mine is unlocked, rooted, and has Alien rom on it, and it's just stupid fast and smooth. Once source is released and we have custom kernels, it will be even better. Battery life has been great for me. Some people have had problems as with any new phone, a fix is to be released soon. I however have not had any of these problems. I also have the dock which is like having another computer. All in all it comes down to personal choice. What works for one does not work for all.
ok cool thanks for the reply. The one at the store was lagging a lil from side scrolling the screens.
ALSO being very new at the phone, In 5 mins of touching the phone I figured out how to page jump by swiping up on the launcher pulls up the seven screens like pinching in does on the epic and htc. Whereas reviews claimed there was no way to bring up the screens in any way.
only thing that bothers me is the screen. i dont think I could get used to that.
there was similar effect going to epic from evo, seeing the pixels. But the Photon is way noticeable on pretty much anything. But then again its just a temporary toy
I came from a Vibrant which is the Tmo galaxy S.
(well, ok, so I had a evo 4g and a evo 3d between....but the Vibrant made those BOTH look like a POS)
I had custom kernel (overstock) and a very nice ROM on the Vibrant (don't recall which).
It was very fast, stupid fast. This Photon keeps up with it and I have had no real problems that I can really think of.
I honestly do not see the MoPhos screen as being lesser than the super AMOled....I seriously do not see any noticable difference.
I also got tired of waiting for the SGS2.
I am getting the photon today as well, actually its already at my house in a box waiting for me to get off work and play with it.
I'm coming from an EVO - i'm overdue for an upgrade

Agree... that's why mine's being shipped here at Work. However, mine isn't arriving until Monday.
Although I like living in CA because of the weather, it also means I have to wait a few days more every time I order a new phone from Sprint.

If you really miss Sense, check out some of the other launchers on the Market like ADW, Launcher Pro, or Go Launcher EX <- my favorite. Many of them have widgets that are very similar to HTC's Sense. If the Sense clock is the thing that does it for you, there are also tons of widgets that replicate that too.
just got a photon and i need to tether free without doc is it possible yet? im not positive im keeping it and tethering is deal breaker but i got photon free as exchange for one of my broke epics.

Damn is that really on all Photons? That would be annoying. I remember having this problem on the Epic but maybe it was the ROMS.

That is cool they give you that as replacement. What are you talking about tethering? I use the hotspot all the time on my Epic. Are you saying on the Photon you need some sort of dock?

What would you do with your Aria once you decide to get the next big one! (since your 2yr renewal is up)
I personally think someone should develope a Game ROM for the Aria, you know make it into a Sega Genesis or SNES port of some kind!
.
I'll give it to my sis, she inherits all my old (and not so old) technology
And could be soon, right now I have the SGS2 on my sight...
Debating that very question myself right now. Just got my Thrill today. Probably turn the Aria into a dedicated mp3 player/wifi device...that or sell it.

it'll be my backup phone in case something happens to my new phone.

Yeah not much going on for it yet. A couple of slightly tweaked/themed stock roms. I hope kernel.org comes back up soon so some real development can get going. A good thing is no locked bootloaders or anything to discourage development.

Bronze it and put it over the fireplace.
No clue. I still have another year on my contract. Definitely something with a bit bigger screen though.
1. Backpack GPS route recording (while bicycling)
2. WiFi packet whoring
I've moved on from my beloved Aria long ago, but she still still puts in work occasionally as a dedicated audio player and back up phone for my girl mostly since she's extremely bad with phones.
Someone stole her iP3G so I bought her an iP4. Someone stole her iP4 so I gave her the Aria. She broke the digitizer, so I gave her My Pre+. She dropped the Pre+ into a glass of wine (don't ask...) so I gave her back the fixed Aria. She destroyed the Digi yet again, so for the time being she's using an Xperia X10a I got her. Lets see how long this one will last........
So far so good. She wants to use her upgrade on the iP5 when it eventually comes out. x_X
Here's hoping I can can get the X10 back in one piece...

Actually, it's a nice phone. I notice the speed difference between this and the Amaze. This responds much quicker. I just wish it can take an SD Card. I'm probably gonna end up selling it when there is a new HTC phone that has an SD slot.
