So I am on an evo shift and about ready to upgrade. Looking back I have to say most of the reviews were bad or inaccurate. So as owners, and what are you reviews or reviews you think are accurate?

have to totally agree. been loving this phone as is. did install a custom launcher (go Launcher ex) and go sms but that is just because i like those apps alot. the battery life is just great the speed is amazing. and the phone just rocks tegra 2 like no other phone on sprint rocks dual core period. you won't be sorry.
i came from a evo shift too. i loved that little phone but this phone smokes it
I couldnt agree with the above more! This is my first Android and what a phone to have! I work for Sprint in a Service and Repair location and I RARELY see Photons come into my location. There were a few from the last OTA update (some could dl it but it wouldnt install) but other then the occasional setting mis-cue, the phone kicks butt!!! Build quality is solid, external speaker is incredibly loud and crisp sounding, and overall call quality, signal strength, and performance is top notch. You will not miss the Shift at all!!
I had mine for about a month coming from an original evo 4g. I love this phone..
Where do I begin?!! You dont have to take the battery out and turn the phone off just to take the memory card out. and it is very fast. Games on it look amazing. Console quality. HDMI mirror is incredible. You can play Tegra 2 games on an HD display if you dont want to play on just the little phone screen. I make all my friends jealous.
Get the photon you wont be sorry.
Good phone i came from a epic 4g and very excited...

I came from the shift and this phone is so much better. It is my first non-keyboard phone ever and i have no issues typing. So far today ive gone 6 hours and my battery just dropped to 80 and im still on stock 198_6. My first photon was really buggy: reboot around 12 times a day and had the screen of death issue but my new one is completely bug free. The speakerphone on the back is incredibly loud so i can actually listen to youtube, etc videos unlike the shift. I am just blown away by how nice this phone is.

The reason I ask is that I love my phone but im wondering if I should take it back and wait for a dual core for battery life reasons. I only want htc because I have had Moro and blur sucks. Plus moto seems much more crippled so to speak. I know that the ego 3d is just a couple of months off so was wondering if something might be prtletty close behind for verizon, and I font care about the 3d nonsense, I just want a disk core because I assume that it will be more battery effecient. Please feel free to correct my inaccuracies, because I do love my phone, but the battery does leave a little to be desired along with the retarded micro usb placement. That is my only two gripes with the phone. Thanks for any siggestions.

By the time a dual core LTE phone is released by HTC, unlimited data plans will be gone.
I disabled the lock screen and turn the GPS off when not needed and my battery life has improved dramatically... worth a shot?
I think everyone's eyes are too big for their stomach. It will be a while before a dual core phone will come out, where android is optimized to use it, and apps take advantage of it. Seriously, buy the time my upgrade rolls around in January 2012, it might be there. In the meantime, lovin my TB on 4g.

So the next 4G phone for Verizon, which will be a motorola phone, the bionic will be a dual core LTE phone. Not HTC but will be dual core. The main reason I think the thunderbolt isn't is that there is some kind of delay in the dual core snapdragon processors from what I heard. But I agree the biggest benefit of jumping on the thunderbolt, which a really decent phone, is to get on 4G especially while it's still unlimited.
If bat life is already bad on a single core I can't even imagine on a dual core
It wouldn't be near as bad if HTC didn't try to put the smallest capacity battery they could find in there. That said, I've had no issue getting through the day. I'm connected to wifi all day at home and work and won't have LTE in my area until later this year.

You say that, but the phone is already a beast even with just a 1400mah battery. Can you imagine how bulky the thing would be with a 2000? And if the phone is only getting 6 hours per charge now, adding another 600mah woth of battery capacity would only give you about 3 more hours. It wouldn't be worth it to me.
The problem is not the battery capacity. The problem is that 4g radio on a very limitted 4g network. So it is constantly searching for a good 4g signal. The same thing happens to me everyday at work, because the 3g at my work sux. So my phone searches all day, and uses the battery up quick. But on the weekends when I am not at work, my battery lasts much longer.
We need to be turning the 4G radio off when we are going to be in a non-4G area for an extended amount of time. And then turn it back on again later when we leave that 4g dead-zone. That would make a big difference in battery life.
Or if they could make the radio more effecient, like instead of constantly searching for a signal, maybe if there is no signal, don't search again for another 15 minutes.

Dual cores are usually more power efficient as each core is running at a lower clock speed from what I have read. There are some other specifics that I cannot recollect at this point.
So just a random semi relevant question. If the EVO 3d is cdma & LTE as is rumored what would keep that phone from running on Verizon?

Seems gimmicky to me. I don't understand why any one would want this in a phone. But to each their own. Anyway, I just wish we had DC for battery life, I could careless about benchmarks, etc. The 1Ghz does more than I need it to, but I would like it to be a little bit easier on this juice.
I am considering the TB coming from a Windows HTC Imagio and just think it sucks that I would have to spend time shutting things down then bringing them back up just to save batt. life!! I haven't yet experienced an Android and just not ready to learn a new phone. Just getting sick of windows. Nothing out there for them.
BTW. Is there anyway to get Windows Media Player on the TB? I have never liked the Sense music player. You cant play an album from start to finish. At least I cant on my Imagio

I get better battery life on my Thunderbolt than my Droid. So, this battery life thing isn't a universal problem. It has to do with 4G switching. Trying to connect to weak 4G signal and dropping back to 3G often is killing battery life. There isn't LTE where I live so I get great battery life.
Just look for some media player apps on the market. That's what I did. I think I use car tunes, but I would have to get my phone and confirm.
I am starting sprint service an i am wondering what phone i should get i have already had the evo an epic an i liked the evo more besides the screen
Now with all the problems with the evo 3d should i get it or maybe the nesux because i didnt really care about 3d its just a battery drannner
So what do you all think?
you will prob get hw003.. if we are to ref the evo 4g .. hw003 had most bugs worked out.
and yes. i would recommend it. i am not looking back at my evo4g one bit. love this phone.
Thanks i really love the feel an look of this phone i just want to make sure its not a over advertised cheap device but i plan on gettin it around the 4th of next month i was wanting to wait a couple of shippments to make sure i get a device that has no problems i loved my evo and i hope to love this phone just as much
once you go Evo you never go back!lol.naw but on a serious note this phone is just like OG evo bigger cooler brother with a few trricks up his sleeve.
The 3d is better than the HERO.
IF you do get it, get a pair of $ .99 reading glasses.
The preceding is the reason that companies "BUY" engineering: so they have products which are downgraded (dpi/pixels p i ?) and features which are legacy to the original specs (1024 dpi).
BTW if the ceo of htc uses the evo 3d for email: .... I hope he has reading glasses. LMFAO #shortsighted
Why do u need reading glasses
Pull the trigger on the Evo 3D worth the updgrade from the 4G, it's faster and Sense runs great. I agree the whole 3D thing is a fad and almost useless on this phone but after seeing it the geek in me was impressed...I've had it for less than 24 hours but I am already used to the higher resolution....so far no problems.
i would reccomend it
Yes.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I would highly recommended it. Best phone I've owned. Top notch !

Hi 'leggs,' here's why. The default font size, especially in messaging and mail, is just too small for all but 'young eyes!' Sprint forgot many of us paid premium dollar for a large screen with LARGE print (fonts) and icons. There is no font adjustment anywhere on the phone. Nore any app in the Market. I spoke with Sprint 2nd tier tech support and they said there is no cure. I have a new EVO 3D and I'm taking it back mainly for this reason. Eye strain sucks. I want my 4G back.........with Gingerbread. Others may love this phone, but mine is buggy......it freezes often, the camera acquired a green tint, and several navigational arrows in texting and url writing are simply gone. I think the 4G came 'out of the box' on its' first day as a much more usable device.

Absolutely love this phone. Even if u don't use 3D this thing is polished.
Phone is phenomenal! Even the 3D is a blast and way better than I thought it would be. You get used to the viewing angles quick, and if you are constantly under the influence of substances, the 3D is 10x better. Just watch Green Hornet high as a kite, then afterwards, envy the speed of the phone in general. I love this handset!
Highly recommended

Yeah, what Paw Paw said! Although I can deal with the smaller font caused by the higher resolution, I do appreciate the issue since my own vision has always been poor. I've been wearing glasses since I was four and trying to focus on something you can't see well is a pain. I wish we had font control. That and root access would make this the perfect phone.
In the UK it's really this or Sensation in HTC terms and in 3D terms the LG Optimistic 3D & is it better than both of them?
The atrix I bought with laptop dock is unlocked and running Alien, faux1.3, custom cemetery, and was planing on putting ubuntu for my webtop experience but I was chatting with an att rep. And he wiped out the thrill 3d at first I was like oh a rip off of infuse but he showed me all the 3d goodness and let me play nova 3d I was quit impress.
My question is im still under best buys 30 day with 20 sumthin days left SHOULD I TRADE MY ATRIX AND GET LG THRILL I wont have laptop dock since I bought it with my lovely phone I love my Trix but I loved the demo I has with the thrill...

Have Atrix now for about 3 Months. Longer I have it, the more I like it. Tried out Thrill @ AT&T a few times. About 3 hours total. Ran Quadrant & Smartbench on both, Thrill about 10% faster, prob because of Multi-Channel CPU & RAM. Fast & smooth. Also ran Linpack, 44MFLOPS on Atrix & 69MFLOPS on Thrill. Screen brightness & extreme angle visibility about the same. A little heavier & bigger, but not much. So if u want to try out 3D & have a little bigger screen, then Thrill may b for u. FreddieBoy
I think it really depends on what you want. If 3D does it for you, you will want the Thrill. Personally I wouldn't give up my Atrix unless something really special came along. I believe the Atrix is a more "mature" phone if you catch my drift, while most other phones I consider to be "toys". The Atrix isn't full of gimmicky sh*t, and the hardware hasn't really been tapped into yet to show it's full capabilities, so it will only get better.

Played with a thrill in a store for a while yesterday. Screens cool and 3D is neat but hurt the **** out of my eyes after a few minutes. 2D regular pics were kinda crappy and 3d stuff isn't viewable right off of phone. (3D pics show as 2 side by side images on a computer). Needless to say I bought an ATRIX instead of waiting till Sunday for a Thrill. Cool idea but it wasn't great. Nice gimmick more than anything.

I hav had the thrill for a week and im returning it for the atrix. The 3d is kool but not a selling point. it is fast with the dual channel but it tends to run out of memory pretty quick. I have noticed that the lg stock ui is worst then moto blur. When changing the ui to launcher pro did notice the phone was faster. ONce it is rooted and has cm7 running will be a great phone. Once I heard Lg will be releasing a better version at the bigging of the year decided i should go with the atrix. The battery life is really bad. If yuo use the 3d the battery just goes. i get about 3 to 4 hrs with nomal use and 3d. I would stick with the atrix personally but then again it is your hone so your decision. You still have days left so try it out for a week and see if it makes your day. Im getting 2800 on quadrant and 72 on linpack with the thrill

I'm pretty sure the thrill uses the same style 3D as the new Nintendo 3Ds. Case in point the 3Ds is having horrible sales ( that's why the price went from $250 to like $170 so fast) because it's making a lot of people nauseous (I played one at BB and it was not good lol)
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Are we talking about the phone that I have? Because the 3D the Thrill uses is true stereoscopic 3D at 1080p. Which is why you can shoot a video with the thing, DLNA it over to your *insert brand here* 3D TV and look like what those TVs are intended to display 3D in.
The 3Ds is having crappy sales because Nintendo was grasping at straws to try to keep people buying there crap. It is aweful 3D. At launch it already had a warning to parents to not let kids under five use it for the "potential" sight impairments as they got older. LOL! This is not the Thrill's kind of 3D. The 3Ds was a gimmick for that system.
Understand, I am not targeting anyone specifically with my post but with a phone like this you have to spend more than a few hours in a store with the device to get an idea what's up. I was a manager at a Best Buy location as the mobile manager and moved to manage home theatre.
What I am getting at is I was there long enough to see customers reactions to the first 3D TVs. Like you we kept hearing the whole 3D TV is a gimmick I will wait and see what happens. It is not new technology. It is older technology that had great potential that was waiting for the technology of other devices i.e. hardware, to catch up to its capabilities.
So we go from the big screen at the theatre, to the TV in your living room, to now being available on a cell phone. The Optimus 2x and the Thrill are smokin' fast phones the first to have stereoscopic 3D. The EVO 3D, well I was disappointed with that but its still a decent phone. The Thrill and the others coming will be glitchy and have a few downsides because they are the frontrunners. Honestly, I was not expecting LG to put a phone out like this and have a launch as smooth as its been. The phone is very fast that is not a real argument. The battery life does suck but after enough forum trolling and watching threads and posting etc. I am surprised that we got someone like DesignGears out the gate, reluctantly mind you, LOL but still going after it to start some real development on this device. I found after trying a few apps. and such that I had forgotten about the SuperPower app. made by some of the guys here at XDA. After jacking with how to set SuperPower up on the new beta version I think its like v8 or something; I waited until the battery was at less than 20%. Then did a full uninterrupted charge to 100%. Kicked off SuperPower, unplugged the beast to see what's up. Well that was 9 hours ago. I am sitting at 73% battery left. I have been doing 3D gaming, downloads from the market, music downloads, posts here, and some calls and a crap ton of texts. So I think we are good on the battery. Respectable anyway.
Not to be Captain Obvious but the phone is rooted too. All I am saying is this phone has a tremendous amount of untapped potential that is begging to be unleashed. There is nothing about this phone that says, "gimmick" to me. This phone says I have more power than is necessary in a cell phone but won't be unhappy if you really let me fly.
Get one and really dive into the thing for a week and if you still feel the same about then you can slap me twice and call me Sally. Then go straight to a Best Buy Mobile or where ever you got it and say it was installed with a flux capacitor from the factory by mistake and you want an Atrix instead. Sorry for the wall of text everyone but I don't usually post very often but I had to here. I would hate to see someone miss out on solid technology like the Thrill 4G.

Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Since you are asking in a forum for the phone you will get a biased answer of yes. I had the 4g, traded up for the 3D, broke my 3D, bought the photon 4g, 5 days later sold it via Ebay, bought parts to fix the 3D, and have loved using it ever since. There will be phones coming out that perform better, but the gig of ram and processor is capable of overclock, so it is real fast.
The 3D is a fun phone and I think you will enjoy it...It has its small issues at times but the phone is still very much enjoyable.

No. This phone sucks. I'm tired of it being one of the fastet phones out there. It needs to slow down and stay sub par. Its vibrant screen needs to be less crisp so that my eyes can start squinting more since it's getting lazy. It's 3D capable picture capture and video is worthless. I mean, who goes to the movies and watches that stuff, let alone buy a big screen tv that does it too. Its 1080p playing ability is below expectation. If it can't play 4k videos, why is it even sold! The battery life is horrendous. I turned it on fully charged and once it finished booting, it turned off saying low battery!! Why can't it be like my clam shell phone that doesn't have any features and can be off the charger for weeks?! And let's not mention the dev support. This phone has been out for such a short time, and they haven't even made it light-speed capable like some other phones. What da deuce!?
I'm just saying. I have a different phone and love to comment on other phone forums since I think I'm doing the people a service to let them know they got robbed. If you want the best, get a Samsung 4K IDB Extreme. That's were it's at.

That's the most confusing post I've ever read.
Hi, i sold my Atrix 4g a few days ago not because it was bad but because i wanted a bigger screen, but now im undecided between the 3 phones i mention on the title. I'v been reading a lot about the specs and i see that are pretty much the same but it's always better to ask the ppl that already own the device for an advice, so which one is really the best? or ill get the same speeds from any of them?
I love my Razr but as far as the rest of the phones depends on several things. Speed are you talking about the phone operation? Speed could depend on your area if you have 4G or signal. Are you going to root?
When i talk about speed im refering to phone speed such like games, interface, browsing, etc, also id like a phone with a good signal reception for internet.
As far as root yes, ill root and use most likely custom roms as i usually do on my phones
perviously i used photon its a good phone and now im using Razr. photon its very tuff made feels good in hand very good for playing games and wacthing movies but its screen its very blurry type pic look very bad on phone screen, some time videos look little tilt but when i install beta ics that all screen issue is gone.Razr look good in hand dnt feel tuff made screen is very nice for watching HD videos but cant play HD Games by gamloft its compitible for razr but i think it will very soon availble.

Compatibility issues with games due to them not adding that code into their games.
If you fake your phone's ID to another phone model, the games run just fine. The GPU is definitely strong enough to handle them.
You're asking about 3 different phones all on 3 different networks. Do you live in a 4G area? I have the Razr Maxx and love it. The battery lasts for forever. The screen is great. Verizon coverage is awesome. V's 4G LTE is blazing fast for me. And right now you can get 2x the data. And if you order tonight (2/29) you can get $100 off. A buddy of mine at work has the S2 SkyRocket and the battery doesn't last for crap if he is using the phone and for some reason he barely uses the phone and it chews thru the data. The Photon is on Sprint. I liked Sprint. But I like V better.

Hi, i sold my Atrix 4g a few days ago not because it was bad but because i wanted a bigger screen, but now im undecided between the 3 phones i mention on the title. I'v been reading a lot about the specs and i see that are pretty much the same but it's always better to ask the ppl that already own the device for an advice, so which one is really the best? or ill get the same speeds from any of them?

Well, the first thing i should do is ask myself, "what do i need from a smartphone?"
"What are the things i would do with either a RAZR, Photon, or S2 Skyrocket?"
"Am i a gamer? Am i a Music Lover? or simply an average user? Or i am after the looks and build of a phone?"
List them and compare with the 3 different phones you mentioned...
Then if that matches your needs, that is the time to decide if you will have it...
I am an owner of RAZR now, as i also was in a dilemma before betweem Nokia N9, RAZR, and SG Note.. Those were the things i did... And i never regret....

it's no grafics chip issue, cause RAZR is running the same chip like the google Nexus S (PowerVR SGX540). So there's a way to play the Gameloft HD Games:
root your RAZR
install a root browser (e.g. root browser lite)
go to /system
open build.prop
change ro.product.model to "Nexus S"
change ro.product.manufacturer to samsung
reboot
and so you can play gameloft hd games
i'm playing "Order & Chaos online" and "Backstab HD"
S2 skyrocket has extremely poor voice quality microphone so people at the other end have a hard time understanding you, which is never mentioned in reviews. Motorola RAZR and Motorola Defy are the two best modern phones for outgoing voice quality. This may or may not be important to you, but is the most important consideration in a phone for me.
