Nice write up. I traded my EVO 3d about 24 hours ago for a Mo-Pho. I had my e o 3d for about 2 months and it was a great toy and that's about it.

Thanks for all the praise, guys! It means a lot! Now, do I dare put the same post in EVO 3D general?
Pew pew pew! From my Mo-Pho!

I, also, came from a 3 devo.
Phone sucked, did everything except be (gasp!) a phone.
Have this MoPho at HoJo walkin' in tall grass with the big boys :þ
Quadrants about ~2500-2600 and I was just downloading a *koff koff* linux distro with it at 1.1 Mbit tethered to my lappy (seriously 1.1 freakin megabits or about 1300 kbps).
Whoa!

Yea, by all means let the HTC fan boiz see what they wish they had.

Very detailed article covers this topic

I made the line the first day the evo was launched, and I'm pretty sure I will do it again. My phone was available for a contract renewal, and I hope mi wife's will be ready too when they launch it. Today my 5 lines plan all are evos, so I think in about 6 months, my account will have 5 evo 3ds, lol.
I went to CTIA and saw it trough the glass they are showing it. Seriously, I can't wait to have that piece of device in my hands.

Ahhhhh!

Feels good to be back with an HTC phone. Had the OG EVO and went to Samsung for the Nexus S 4G and have had it since release day until today. Picked up a 3D off craigslist for $175. Couldn't stand the radio on the Nexus. Kept it just to see what Ice Cream Sandwich looks like. Feels good to be back!!!!!
Cool, man... Welcome back.
I'm officially going to be the first person to ask you for a rip of the ruu off of that Nexus when ics drops....
Thanks in advance, bro.
<<bringing it since 2010>>
$175? Good deal!

Sold my evo3d and im on a photon, I miss the evo3d but now have an opportunity to get the sgs2 from a friend signing up for sprint. So I have my pick from any phone at store price, she can't afford the smart phones to shell get my photon.. Decisions decisions! Im half tempted to get the white evo3d. Reading a lot of threads the sgs2 seems like....well another Samsung pos.

Same typical Samsung flaws you'd expect, wonky GPS, grainy screen, cheap feeling. One good thing, the rooting and recovery flashinglooks like a piece of cake. Ill get one anyway if I don't like it I'm sure someone on Craigslist will be willing to trade for an EVO 3d.

I had a photon also. Everything about the phone was 5 Star EXCEPT the Display. That alone made me put it back on craigslist..... Not enough colors.

IceCream Sandwich love?

Hey guys....
Im wondering if Motorola Photon 4G is getting IceCream Sandwich.... Anyone knows?
as the phone been out for longer than 18 months? nope...means we are probbly going to get it, but since the OS still isnt even officially out, no one knows for sure
At this point I would say any phone that has the hardware requirements will get it. So the Photon should.

That's what i am thinking. It will probably take a while for us to get a build of it. Do you think with google aquiring Moto Mobility we might get an OS update a bit sooner? I'm sure devs at motorola already have a copy of ICS to mess around with.
Well I was referring to the battery and data manager. These phones are vanilla android with a few moto tweeks unlike the competitors.
We would most likely get updates faster unless moto decides to hold **** back. Compared to the epic(which a majority of us came from) we have gotten a metric ton of updates within this 2 month time frame

Motorola announced today that the Razr will get ICS "early 2012", so I'm thinking we'll get it around the same time, or a little after...

I was thinking the same thing, and from what I heard it a total makeover, like XP and Windows 7, so I likely would not like it anyway. Love my Photon just like it is.

It is best to say from windows vista to windows 7! IMO! And better! Windows 7 to windows 8. The only change is the UI! and I don't like.
I don't mean to hate. But the razor is now moto's baby going foward and that's means the chances of the photon getting ics before a year from now is slim to none. Zip, zerro.
The only phones getting ics quick are the nexus phones and and phones with great dev support like the evo 3d and sensation. The ports have already started on them.
The razor does look mad sexy though, I like it.
They want you to buy new phones

Where are you coming from?
Hello all of my Wonderful EVO lovers! As a junior developer who is getting this device (and plans to release some cool stuff), I just wanted to see if there is anyone that I might happen to know already in this Forum that I could work with. None-the-less, this isn't just about that, but getting to know everyone in this particular forum as well. I hope that you all can vote and answer and be proud to get such an amazing flagship device for Sprint.​
Edit sorry for missing a few major devices, this was made late! Just throw your device in a category you think it would fit in then go ahead and whack a post on the thread to tally your vote for it.
HTC TouchPro2: I
Nexus S: IIII
Nexus One: I
HTC HD II: I
HTC Vivid: I

I don't feel comfortable with any of the poll choices.

Either way, huge improvement incoming.

Coming from the EVO 3D.
Hopefully this will be the phone I'll keep for 2 years, I've never kept a smartphone for more than a year. Or puchased later than 3 months after initial release.
I doubt anyone will come from the LG Viper 4G LTE lol, its pretty fresh on the shelf compared to everything else on the poll.
Is this from most recently? I started in the Hadnspring days ala Treo 600.
Evo 3D most recently. I guess I didn't realize people didn't upgrade every time a new sweet phone came out. I try to just stick to HTC though, since I like Sense.

It'd be epic over epic if you were upgrading from the Treo 600 to the EVO 4G LTE.
