Well, I've just gone & done it. Ordered my Photon from Sprint!
I looked at the Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G (what was Sprint thinking with that name?), and decided that I didn't like the lower resolution, but larger screen. Felt to me like I was reading the old Readers Digest - Large Print Ed. at Grandma's house...but its definitely a great device as well.
And with Samsung's record for device updates, I felt this was the best choice...made even easier now that Google owns Moto. Love the kickstand and the size is just right.
Seems like the last couple of updates have really stabilized the phone, so I'm hoping to have a smooth transition from my Palm Treo Pro...its been a flawless device for me for 2 years now...put on Spb Shell and never looked back. (Honestly, great device.) I've also briefly had the Pre & Pixi in between those 2 years as well.
I've been reading up and looks like SBP Shell seems to kill battery life on the phone, so I probably won't put that on right away.
Anything else I need to know? I've read every thread over the last couple of days, so I'm about as familiar with the device as I think I can be.
TIA!
