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?

Is the battery life really better on the photon over the 3d?
The Longer I have my EVO the more it makes me want to get rid of it.

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 nice looking widgets mean more to some people than a phone that works properly.

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.

That's what I always say. Nice!
It really comes down to wheter you want iOS or Android. Android is the best platform hands down in my opinion but thats me. Also the iPhone just isnt my cup of tea. Give me the big bad dual-core monster over the cute and cuddly pony.
looking at the specs. the htc evo goes HIGHER THAN ALL of the iphones specs. hell, they can't even update their freaking bluetooth to 3.0!? if there isn't a 3d camera, why does the iphone have only a 5mp camera? the only reason the evo 3d has that is because there are two of them..
HOWEVER a few reasons to get the iphone is it is smaller. and was built better around your music. android sucks on this part.

iPhone...
Maybe the Galaxy Nexus (Nexus Prime) will tempt me away, but that's about it.
There is NO way I'd trade my Evo 3D for an iPhone. I had one before, and even with the improvements (over the air syncing, and notifications), I still just couldn't do it.
Android is just too customizable for me to switch back.

Got mine sometime ago........actually two months now
... still "undecided" if I want to let go of my INFUSE (unlocked + rooted) ,,,,
>>few noteworthy things come to mind..
CONS:
1) Kernal LOCJED DOWN
Note= seems semi-locked ...seemed complicated to root >>like in Moto phones , where as Infuse = was easy peeze to do
2) Email on Note = shows "inbox" only on the main " EMAIL VIEW" screen
(if you have mutiple folders - you have to go around a complex way to see the other folders - Infuse shows them as like u see in NORMAL GMAIL page...
3) After installing SKYPE
(it adds a link in "DIALER" section - so you this weird choice to use SKYPE or NORMAL DIALER to make calls - sucks as MS now owns SKYPE - so guess they plan to make things in Driod world just as messy and windows...)
4) HD videos are MV (as in MS phone version) not Mp4 for real 1080P movies and videos....
Pro:
1) my 32GB card is fully supported - infuse is limited to 16GB (tried to swap over Sd cards infuse only sees 16gb from note so CON for Infuse )
2) NICE BIG SCREEN .. luv it for movies !
3)...
still playing around
Cheers
Wow I found rooting very easy and Odin cwm simple also
Kernel flashing just well a flash. But each to his own I love this phone. I had the capitivate,thena streak then infuse then a xoom then a skyrocket and now the note all were easy to root and cwm. I always say read and Google and YouTube it may save u a brick.

I did the exact same thing. She wanted the White One. She used it for about 2 weeks and then I couldn't stand it anymore and went and got one too. Awesome concept (5.3, S Pen) and an awesome phone.
Note
Im in love with mine. Traded my sensation and ipod touch 4g for it. Best trade i have ever done through craigslist. Root and custom Rom was easy to do. Running seraphim Rom love this phone. I've had alot of phones. This one hands down the best one.

I had an Evo 4G. Was curious about the iPhone so I got an iPhone 4. It was cute for a while. Then it's charm wore off quick and it just became dull and boring. I sold it and got an Evo 4G LTE. I soon after discovered the Galaxy S3 and fell in love with Android all over again.

Had a iPhone 4 (jailbroken), switched to GNexus and was surprised how good the phone was besides the battery life (and thats lol when u compare the Gnex to the Note 2) .. I could do a lot more things on the GNex then the iPhone 4.
Once I switched to the Note 2, it wasn't even close.
Don't go full retard imo
I'm glad I'm getting some opinions that aren't blatant fanboys. I was playing with one and don't think I could do it. Not to mention iPhone guys who wanna trade want money on my side (I have over $200 in accessories for my phone already)

My friend just recently switched from the 4s. He has been am iPhone fanboy, even though he claims he wasn't a fanboy, ever since he got his first iPod and iPhone. He just got sick and tired of Apples little walled in garden with the iPhone even when jailbroken. He saw my Note 2, played with it for a couple weeks and then made the switch. He is absolutely in love with hos Note 2 and says there is no way in hell he will EVER go back to an iPhone!
The only thing he dislikes is there is no way to sync his iTunes music, playlists, pictures, and videos. He was using Kies but since he flashed Vanilla Rootbox, which he has been on since the 3rd day he had his phone, he cant find any app for syncing his music tjat works with a USB cord.

There are certainly more (and a lot of times better) accessories for an iDevice; play music thru the media cable, earphone/headphone buttons auto detect the device, more choices when it comes to cases etc

My wife had an iphone 5 and she thought she would love it because she likes her ipad so much but right away she noticed that she can't see it too well because of the small screen. So she traded it for the note 2 and loves it way, way, way more because of the size. She says it was a great trade.
