Just picked it up...bye bye Photon 4G!

Using the HTC rebate this weekend, I will be sending in my wife's purple BB Style...for $100 off. I'd say its a great phone for $100!

Still learning the whole Sense thing...never had an HTC phone before, but what a nice phone!

Is there a good Sense guide somewhere? I don't like all that social feed stuff on my screen, so I need to learn how to minimize what I see there.

Glad to be done with Moto after that Photon upgrade/no upgrade BS. So far I love it!

Just said goodbye to my Photon 4g as well. I would strongly urge you to try a different launcher altogether. There are so many good ones. I had ADW from when I first got my Photon, and using it with 4.1.2 is really amazing, I can eliminate Blinkfeed and just put what i want, exactly how I want. I don't think you'll switch back. The sense launcher is the only thing I'm not crazy about for the One. It's a HUGE step up.

Made my switch last night. Said goodbye to my Photon. Definitely liking the new One.

Ha. I was so tired of my Photon too. I just think it's funny how people try and sell their old Photon for $200 on Craigslist. Not worth that money.

I ran Holo Launcher HD for a while, but switched back to Sense last night. I wanted to try following what HTC envisioned before giving up on it altogether, and honestly, its working quite well. Though I'm not sold on Blinkfeed yet, but it does have some value.

I still have the Photon, its on my son's line right now...he likes it as a replacement to his old Optimus S, and loves having the lapdock for when we're traveling. He's been eyeing my One so we'll see what he ends up doing. I'm sure we'll keep it as a backup should the kids break a phone...but that's all it'll be used for...because I'm really done with Moto for a while...as I suspect most former Photon owners are...

This is a major upgrade and one I'm glad I've done.
