I had the 3vo and it is purely a gimmick phone. The Photon is just a nice piece of machinery. If you are still on your 30 days just try it out, you can reset your 30 days 3 times. You won't want to return it.

Took my 3vo back and haven't regretted it
Earpieces/speaker, battery life and antenna are far better than on the 3vo

Wow, I didn't know i could reset my 30 day trial 3 times is there some official material on this if so can you please provide link
I also wouldn't trade this phone because I see it has potential. But some crazy voice in the back of my head whisper Galaxy S II ... Sorry anyone I'm just a big ol' Samsung fan boy. And I will not lie the Motorola Photon 4G is growing on me...

Yeah, can you reset the 30 day trial 3 times? I thought that you can only exchange your phone once?

Yea that was what I though it was but "Dj" said you can do it 3 times if so I asked where I can get that info so I can printed and have proof to show at the store if and when the Samsung Epic Touch 4G aka the Samsung Galaxy II comes out I will probably jump on that since I am a Samsung fan boy.

If buying at Sprint retail, they will only allow 1 exchange (for a different device) you CAN exchange for the same device multiple times (with device issue). Best Buy, I have personally done 3 different devices within that 30 day time frame.
Just tell em "look, I'm gonna be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years...so wanna make sure I'm gonna be happy with it."

To me sense is sleek, I went to the sprint store to look at the photon and its nice. Scrolling beetween screens is not smooth at all, and the Motorola widgets don't look as cool .

I guess coming from a Samsung Epic, my definition of "laggy home screens" is a little different. From my perspective, the Photon is incredibly quick in every instance, including scrolling between home screens.

I'm on my 3rd EVO and it still has the same problems the others had. Screen freezes, green pictures, dark pictures in bright sunlight, piss poor reception which not only makes the phone useless but also kills the battery stupid fast.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Gave my 3devo back....suck phone, call dropping, screen freezing, no-add to the contact list, 4g dropping when 4g signal is stronger than 3g, battery lasting *maybe* 4 hours POS.
Yea, it was a nice toy, it just wasn't a phone in any aspect.
I will never own a HTC device again, they had thier chance and failed hard.

I was going to say the exact same thing - and there are many different launchers, widgets, etc that makes it very sense like anyways. The sense type dialer is important to me, and the Motorola one is strikingly similar.

You also need to keep in mind that somebody different has used that phone every few minutes and who knows what settings they may have changed. Widgets can also affect any phones' response, so you might want to strip those when you test. I don't have the slightest bit of lag on my phone using blur.

Im one of those people who need to get a new phone every few months and after hacking playing with the vibrant for some time its awesome. However the vibrant wwas going to be my permanent phone but now with everyone getting blackberrys it makes me want to get one just for bbm. I know theres apps such as kik and ping but not the real deal. I have simple mobile (t-mobile for those who havent heard of it)rright now unlimited everything for 60 a month. I would probaly get an umlimited boost mobile blackberry plan for the same exact prize no tax or anything. Would you stay with the vibrant or get a blackberry. Or wait till the new ish*t comes out and ssee if it brings a new chat service?

Dude, Vibrant. No contest. Not even kidding. I had a Curve for a year. Total lack of games and apps. Little screen. The web browser is horrible. If you wanna "be like everyone else", I'd rather you get an iPhone.
Trust me. Blackberry = Bleh.
BBM is not worth it. All of those people's BB's come built in with gtalk on it. Use gtalk to talk to them. It's the same thing. The only difference is BBM makes you have a pin number.

I've had a total of 3 blackberries and none of them compare to the Vibrant or even a G1 (seriously). The lack of good free apps, the lack of touch screen, the screen isn't big enough, blackberries tend to get real sluggish over time, the lack of full customization etc. I can go on for years. The one thing I love about blackberry is that its phones are luxurious looking. In a way its somewhat exotic. At least in my opinion.

I'm telling you, you'd be sorry. I wouldn't even trade a G1 for another blackberry and I'm being honest. They're nice phones for business purposes or showing off to older women. If you do decide to trade let me know your thoughts after you do so.
Just curious, do you live in NY? Everybody in NY is crazy for blackberries. Bbm is the new movement in NY for whatever reason.

I figured that's why you're interested in trading. If I was you and I really wanted to know what its like to have the blackberry over the Vibrant I'd just trade with a friend for a day. I'm pretty sure you know someone with a blackberry and I'm more than willing to bet they'd have no problem with trading for the day or forever for the Vibrant.

Those are stupid reasons to waste time exchanging phone after phone. Light leakage and a tilted screen don't hinder functionality in the least. I've got the light leakage...oh well. I don't use my phone in the dark a lot for it to be an issue and even if I did oh well....it still works. Some people are exchanging their phones constantly for retarded reasons. I have a hard time believing that out of 6 devices ALL of them were defective to the point that they couldn't be used.

From what I've researched, the Vivid's cpu/gpu isn't near as fast as the GSII's Exynos and Mali 400MP. Our GSII is still far ahead of the game and it's hard for me to justify giving all of that up. I was liking the qHD display and other nice little features like LED notification, LTE, etc of the Vivid but I think my main problem is that I get bored way too fast...

Whatever you Do AVOID LG. They are the worst at updating Anything. The LG Thrill is STILL Stuck on Froyo.
Call me a fanboy but I have to say that the only way I am getting rid of this phone is
1) the new device is TRULY SUPERIOR to the SGS2 in EVERY ASPECT.
2) the new device is TRULY SUPERIOR to the SGS2 in EVERY ASPECT.
I will say alot of these new devices look sharp...but I do not see this phone being second to ANY DEVICE out right now period. Unless you need the screen real estate.....there is NO reason to get rid of this phone.

+1 what he said
Quad-core or 2.5ghz+ (stock, not overclocked) dual core
4.7inch+ screen or dual screens
2gb+ ram
Unlocked bootloader
My minimum requirements. And what's scary in a very cool tech way, good chance we'll see something like that in less than a year, two years absolute tops.

Working with, repairing and selling both phones I see it as a wash. If someone is looking for a "in your hand" media phone, I push the Epic. It has an attractive screen and media optimizations that the MoPho doesn't have. If someone is looking for "and the kitchen sink" phone, I push the MoPho. It's screen and media playback falls short of the Epic but has amazing expansion capabilities. Granted I avoid iPhones like the plague (sheeple products annoy me) but if the customer can barely understand their hero/moment then I point them towards an iPhone. If I didn't need the MoPho's feature set I would have gone with the Epic.
(Please note that the 3D abomination is not in the above paragraph. That's one POS I will not sell to anybody. Almost every 3D that comes in for service ends up getting replaced.)
I ended up going through 4 evo 3D's before switching to photon. That phone is a POS. HTC really let me down man and I got that sucker on launch day. After the Evo 3D I used a Nexus s for a month which was another plastic POS by Samsung (also garbage). Photon was my first moto android device and they won me over...for now. That said, I agree with the guy above me 100%.

What problems is your GF's ET having?

Just random issues Samsung phones usually have. At home I can get a solid 9mb on 4G consistently and her ET maxes out at 4/5mb tops right next to mine. Signal isn't all that great in our home (same problem I had with the nexus s). Phone feels very cheap as compared to the photon or 3D. She likes it but then again she likes whatever phone you put in her hand. I'd say she's not the most tech savvy person out there so she wouldn't know what works etc. I know though...the small issues drive me nuts lol. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the excellent radio moto has in this thing now! Sammy's are known for weak radios just ask the original iPhone 4 owners

if having a phone that lags on its own OS, has a screen that looks like bees painted it with there asses, has very little dev support, no plans of getting ics ota update, and has a return rate of 45% (at my store)... I don't know how u would even think about calling this phone an upgrade over the galaxy s ii.
The only thing holding this phone off from being 100% crap is its radio, GSM card slot, and it being sold in stores (best buy, target, and Walmart) for only $50 to $100 bucks.

You mad bro? Lol
Motorola hasnt denied any of its latest phones only stated which ones are getting it first for sure. They made this very clear with an official statement. I believe this phone will see ICS q1 2012 same with the epic touch (which is a plastic PIECE OF **** with a nice screen). That's all Samsung phones have going is the screen. And dev support? Who says we don't have any? We have enough dev support; let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks a new rom is when someone takes a base, removes a few apps and adds a theme? (i.e the evo 4G/3D forums). This phone has webtop, kernel devs and a dedicated cm7 dev and others chip in. What else do you need?
Epic touch is a joke with a shiny screen, I can say that because I have one right next to me. Get real kid..
Moto/Nvidia=Awesomesauce
Samsung=Can blow me

Yeah its a good phone though. As much as i like it I may get a 4s lol. Just want to something different right now. I really wish sprint had a wp7 phone with a large screen man. I have the HTC arrive as a backup right now and I love the os.
After only owning this phone I hated it, I'm on it too much .I use over 1.3gb on 3g and I cant stop looking at YouTube videos, want to know more and more about it by Googling ... For real tho I'm happy with this phone and is the best decision I made since the OG evo... Gs3 is about to come out and even tho I don't have it I don't feel like I need too , a lot people is trying to return their phone cause another is coming out... I been there before and sometimes we don't think it thru. I'm happy with my phone ans some of us don't realize how great it is .no phone is perfect.
Watch this evo owners

I'm trying to see how many people can actually realize we have an a amazing phone and deceploment is looking *slow*
But what they don't realize is that no phone is perfect nerve will, if you feel like the phone is not good enough then why get it in the first place , we all have 2 weeks to try it out and not fill up the xda board with complaints and complaints , I believe thus is a keeper for me

I'm going to have to agree with the OP. I have the same problem. I can't put the thing down. The screen is very nice and vibrant. I even put Fast Five on it the other day and have watched it about 3 times with the beautiful 720p screen and Beats audio using my Skullcandy 50/50s. There are people out there who are truly disappointed in the phone, and that can be their opinion. This should be the EVO 4G LTE lover's thread.
I too can't put the thing down. Screen is beautiful.
ok I agree totally. I mean I was glued to my old Epic but the screen on this thing is so sharp I actually started to read books on it.
my buddy is waiting for the gs3 but I think the screen on this phone is the top selling point.
I'm typing this while watching the video from Conan. Doesn't get much better for me. I agree 100%. We always want more, so the issue is accepting what we have and not getting upset at what we don't. I'm making a stand against my ego and accepting this device as what I need and adjusting to it. This thing is awesome as is and any shortcomings are way better than the razor I had just a few years ago. And the support from this community will only unlock more of its potential for us.

I agree with the rest of you, this phone is hard to put down, coming from an OG Evo to Evo3D to Photon I finally feel like I have a phone that meets my needs since the OG Evo. I would like to see how much data I have used after 30 days.

Something I want to add:
I am extremely anal about dead pixels. Not because I expect a display to be 'perfect' but because of my personal ocd issues. They bug the hell out of me. I had one on my Evo3D and it annoyed me EVERY time I turned it on.
On this phone I have a dead on at the top and then two stuck ones. I don't notice them. Unless I get half an inch away from the screen I don't even know they're there. That's how awesome the screen is. You simply can't tell pixels apart from your normal viewing distance. Hell I could probably have more dead pixels and not know it. You even might. The thing is, the only way you'll know is if you get extremely upclose, turn the brightness all the way up and search pixel by pixel.
That's the only "con" I have against this device and as you can see it isn't even a con. Hands down the best piece of hardware I've ever owned.

Yes serious. Radio in this is a joke. My og epic's data is way faster on 3g in the same areas as where I'm using this and sense really sucks. Non removable battery, you have to download programs just to access the internal storage what a joke. If your not tech savvy then yeah this phone is for you but a die hard Samsung is the only the way.
