Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE available today from Sprint

0. phoneArena posted on 19 Aug 2012, 13:54

The Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE is available starting today from Sprint and the new device not only improves a bit on the original's specs but also includes a side-sliding QWERTY; the line's trademark diamond cut corners remain intact...

Do want. For a minute there, I thought I'd have to upgrade to the EOL Samsung Epic 4G, since that was Sprint's only high end QWERTY keyboard phone. And can you believe they want you to pay $99 for it when you can go to Best Buy and get it for like $49.!? AND Amazon is selling it for a penny.! SMH

Oh, and the Kyocera Rise is also a nice budget QWERTY option too. Hopefully it runs Android 4.0 smoothly. The only draw back of the Rise is that it only runs Sprint's 3G and it has Sprint ID on it. Yuck.!

Das some bad timing .. iPhone and Galaxy Note release right around the corner, SGS3 just released. They should have made it $99

with a keyboard... nah, they may not get the best of sales, but I remember $250+ with my Touch Pro 2 (before I managed to nab some great discounts and connections to take $100 off)

Its a new day in age, its a decent price, especially for the specs and the keyboard

I can in all honesty say, that if I was still with Sprint ($10 #EatS**t Premium Data fee), I would be getting this phone, its specs are that good, and considering I have used my friends Droid 4 (and rooted/romd it for him), I LOVE the keyboard!

My GNote does me just fine, but I still love me some Physical Keyboard!

10$ for a smartphone.. Oh noes.
Because operating costs don't exist...

If the preference is physical qwerty then it doesn't matter whether it's galaxy note or iphone...oops they doesn't have physical keyboards..so people would go for the next best option ...

Change your profile photo to avoid unnecessary thumbs-down...

Yes, I have given Thumbs-Up to your comment, as I do feel 99$ will be a good deal as AT&T sells AtrixHD (with HD Display and NOT qHD like PhotonQ) for the same 99$...

Obsolete garbage. No jelly bean, SIM is welded in place, no gorilla glass, and battery is not removable and is shockingly too small. Piece of useless trash.
