Thanks everyone for the information. How well does the phone work with a new SIM? Should I look for a T-Mobile SIM, then? Or what brand? Should I buy a SIM in a vending machine at Heathrow when I arrive? With a new SIM, can you use data? Do your apps still work? What about Google Maps and...

I'll be in the UK (mostly in London) for a little more than a month this summer, and I'm thinking of bringing my Sprint Motorola Photon (first generation--no keyboard) with me. I may also spend some time in Europe (Paris, most likely). As seanok points out in this thread, it *should* be...

Yeah, they've got a plan for us: we can shut the f--- up and buy another Motorola phone. That's the only idea they have for everyone they tricked into buying a Photon.

So, I see that they are coming out with a new lte "slider" version of the Photon, called the "Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE." Q stands for "qwerty." Do you think they will also come out with a new "non-Q" version of the Photon that has LTE but *no* keyboard? I hope they do, because I really...

Hi, I have a bank account with Fidelity Investments, and I often have trouble using my phone to deposit checks into it. Of course I'm using the Fidelity Android app that's supposed to let you snap a picture of a check to deposit it. Tonight even when I placed the phone on a solid surface...

Update: the phone began having problems about a week later. The camera started turning on by itself constantly, and then eventually stopped working. :(

Last night, I did a rush load of laundry before realizing I'd washed my Optimus S along with my clothes. I went back to the washer and found it, stuck half underneath the agitator, with water under the dark screen. Whoops. I took the battery out, took the screws out, and put the phone on top...

Can the Optimus S's lighted buttons be turned on without also turning on the screen? Hello; here's a question: Does anyone know if it would be possible to write a program that would flash the Optimus S's lighted buttons as a notification without also flashing the screen? Or, in other words...

Thank you, French. I do wish there were a better birthday app, but perhaps I can use the calendar reminders as you suggest.

Hello, I can be a little absent-minded about remembering people's birthdays, so I'd really like to have an application to help me remember when these are coming up. However, I can't seem to find a birthday reminder app on Android that will do all three things I consider necessary for this type...

I really miss WebOS, too. I wish I were more impressed/excited by the recent HP product announcements, but apparently HP won't put a MicroSD card in their phones, which means I can't use a WebOS phone as a large-capacity MP3 player. This sucks. Interestingly, WebOS has fewer apps, but they...
