Out of curiosity, what are your overall thoughts on this phone now that you've had it a while?

The display model at my local Sprint store was doing this badly. The screen would be bright normally and then it would go almost completely dark upon opening the kickstand. It showed that it was set to "automatic brightness" in both views. The 2nd store model did not seem to have this same problem.
I absolutely love it! It has great functionality and I love everything about it, I like the awesome pics and video it takes, the awesome battery life, Superior Build quality,call clarity, and the overall speed of the phone... Its like Butter!! At first I wasn't a big fan of the "Ghostblur" being a long time Sense user but I actually like it now after getting used to it..The Pentile screen also takes some getting used to, Especially if your coming from an Evo 4G/ 3D like me, I got used to it after a few days of use but I can honestly care less about the screen due to the Exceptional performance and quality of the Phone itself.. I couldn't be happier with any other device.
Not long at all. Pretty fast as a matter of fact... Actually its funny you ask that because the other day I was thinking to my self, "damn this thing boots up way faster than any other device I ever owned" I would say under a minute if i had to guess.

Only device that has booted up faster for me was teh nexus s which was right at 30 seconds ish. This one is closer to 45 ish which is still decent compared to all the others including the pre or EVO with any custom rom that did not have quick boot.

It boots up incredibly fast compared to my Pre. That's another annoyance with the Pre, gosh was that thing slow to boot.
And yet I miss it. . .

REALLY?? under 30 seconds?? I used to have the 3vo before my photon and my girl still has hers and I find it to take longer to boot than the photon.
haha I had the pre before I got my first Android device which was the Evo 4G.. I really liked web OS but hated the pre for many reasons. and yes, it did take forever to boot.
Whatever phone you like best, I think that this is the last chance to Vote for Sprint's best Android phone!

I swear my old Blackberry Tour took almost 15 minutes to boot up.
Does anyone know how many points the multi-touch is on the Photon? I just got mine on Saturday, and I can't seem to find the information. I am only coming up with 2, and that seems a little disappointing for a new powerhouse of a phone.
One thing that bothers me is when I select the dialer icon on the bottom dock it will usually revert to the last thing that I used in that screen, example, if I last looked at contacts or favorites/groups and then I hit the back or home button to go to the main screen and hit the power button to screen lock the phone then I hit power button unlock the phone and hit the phone/dialer icon it brings me back to the contact list not the actual phone dialer then I have to select the dialer on the top left. This step seems unnecessary and I've search the phone to see if there is a selection that I missed to have the phone do this automatically and I can't find this. searched the forum and can't find any info.
Also, my google contact are doubled up on some of my contacts in the contact list, this is also very frustrating.
Sometimes the WiFi doesn't connect when the widget is turned on, have to turn off and then turn it back on, and I have experienced the silent calls 3 times so far in a handful of phone conversations, turning the phone off and then back on has seemed to temporarily fix the issue.
I hope motorola is working on somekind of update now that google owns motorola.
