Who is getting it and what phone are y'all replacing?

 

[RBrown9180]

Looks like I'll be getting unless pigs fly and the official launch date of the GS2 is released. I will be replacing my epic.

 

[graffix31]

looks like i might be in the same boat. dont know to much about this chipset or motoblur coming from a palm pre this is all new. feel like even the evo3d is at 1.2ghz and this is brand new and only 1ghz. kind of torn because i dont like the 3d or the bump for the camera and all that. i really want the gs2 also but this thing does look nice.

Replacing my Evo 3D

Like someone else said I'll get this unless the gs2 gets a release date soon, replacing my epic 4g

I will be jumping off the Blackberry ship, anxious to try Android.

Want to leave my Blackberry behind for this Photon. Been looking at the atrix on ATT since it first came out. Since this is the newer version, cannot wait. Hope they have plenty to go around.

Leaving my EPIC 4G for it. I've been travelling a lot late, and that'll probably continue. So, I might as well save myself the hassle of having to carry two phones. Plus I get the build quality of a Motorola!

I became eligible for a full, $150 upgrade a month ago from Sprint and remain hopeful they will get the HP Pre3 someday. Until then, I will switch to Android and get the Photon by Motorola. If Sprint gets the HP Pre3 then I'll return to webOS.
Update: I now am leaning towards the Samsung Galaxy S2. Geez I am gonna miss my Touchstones.

I'm not due for an upgrade yet but I would still like to get this to replace my EVO 4G.

 

[ajbrickyard]

Yup, from a launch day evo 4g. Tried to holdout for the SGS2 but it looks more and more like it's not coming

Sent from my EVO without me knowing

As soon as I get back from my honeymoon (8/6) and Palm Pre

 

[ccrooks]

but seriously, why all the hate for MotoBlur? I've seen side by sides with HTC Sense and it looks fine to me

I don't know why people complain about MotoBlur but they act like there aren't any alternatives (LP & ADW).

Will be leaving the Palm pre for the motorola photon. I would've held out for the pre 3, but it looks like it won't be coming to sprint. I've started traveling internationally again and I can't keep dusting off the old blackberry 8830. I've honestly never been a fan of android, I've always seen it as a security risk and motorola actually implemented industry standard hardware encryption and remote wipe.

I won't get it launch day, I want to read reviews, I almost slipped up and bought a Nexus s, but radio issues nixed that idea.

so i see that they're accepting online-only orders for sprint premiere customers... i wonder when the phone will arrive if i place the order on the 28th (going out of town for a week on the 31st)

I was wondering how this worked myself, actually. If you order on the 28th, do they overnight the phone to you or something? How would you get it any faster than someone who just walked into a store on the 31st (given that the 31st is a Sunday, there would be no shipping, right?)

As for Motoblur, I'm tempted to go visit a Verizon store and play with the new Moto Droid 3 or similar to see what it's like since I've never seen it in person. My understanding of the hate toward Blur is due to older versions that required you to create an account and log in to it every time you wanted to use some aspect of Blur. If that's true, I don't blame people for hating on it.

 

[Ejay62]

I'll be leaving my launch day evo, mind you my 7th replacement evo. I can't trust HTC. I'm very happy with my xoom and have had not a single problem with it, plus the photon looks beastly!

Don't quote me on this but I believe Sprint is pretty fast with the pre-orders. Some friends that pre-ordered the EVO 3D online got it on launch day.

I've played around with Moto phones before (when a friend got the DX) and it wasn't bad at all in my opinion.

I'm on the fence. I have an Epic 4G which I like enough to keep a bit longer. I just finished 3 months of international travel, and I used an old Blackberry tour and foreign SIM cards. It would have been nice to have the photon then, but now my international needs are going to be minimum for the next 12 months. I like my Epic, but there is certainly room for improvement. I may end up keeping it unless I have to travel extensively in the near future.
