Bought this phone off of the marketplace on android forums. from what i can tell so far is that its a really nice phone. feels nice in the hand, battery cover is nice and grippy. fiddled with the home screens a little bit, pretty snappy. havent really been able to get into the phone yet so i will update later with my thoughts. but i can honestly say that the Evo 3D will have its hands full with this phone. its a BEAST!

Nice! I'm a little jealous. Good thing I dont have to wait much longer. Can you remove the bloat apps like you could on the E3d?
 
Yes you can remove the bloat like on the 3D!

Can the sd card be removed without removing the battery?

Sure looks like you can..... :-) ....wonder if you would have to reboot in order to read the new card, though.

can you take some pics with the camera? I'm curious how good/junk the 8mp is.... Thanks!
 
I love how it says "Confidential Motorola Restricted Property: Not For Sale" on the side. :p

I'm impressed that Moto/Sprint allows for the removal of bloatware. How are the radios and signal strength? Call quality good? Inquiring minds want to know!
 
How much did it set you back for?

The guy wanted 400 but I got it for 350. As of right now, I like this phone as much as my Evo 3D. But they are so different and do so many different things.

Made a test call to my gf just to make sure it worked. Sounded great. The speaker phone and sound are way louder than my 3D. And the screen gets super bright!

How's the screen quality? is it the pentile lcd? How does the Photon screen compare to the evo 3d?

I'm not sure what a pentile screen is. Like difference wise. But I can tell a difference from this phone and my 3D. This screen is just as crisp and clear. Only difference is this phones screen gets SUPER BRIGHT! Both are pretty nice but both are different. Tomorrow I'll have a better review with some pics.
