I really don't like Moto, but I'm always a sucker for second chances. It pretty much depends on two things.
When it's released.
Is the boot loader locked down tight?
Otherwise, it looks pretty good. But I thought the tegra2 had the same GPU (or similar) to the Epic?
not if it's locked... nothing to see here...

That's what im wondering because Moto said they wouldn't be locking their phones anymore ....
I will not buy a Motorola phone.
The whole locked bootloader, and their attitude it exemplifies towards developers, makes me not want to ever buy on of their phones, no matter how awesome it is.
One word. Blur.
So no, no thanks motorola.

The picture definitely showed a different version of Blur than the one we're used to. It's somewhat touchwiz-like. I'll look into it, but as stated before, I'm not totally interested because it's Moto.
See this is great !!!
Bringing our community EVEN closer by coming together to hate of Motorola
Not really. Seems like it's more of a world-phone that I don't need. Now if I was a big traveler, I'd probably be all over this as it's the first good Android option on Sprint that has CDMA and GSM. Probably be the most expensive Android Sprint carries because of it.

I've got to say this is one of their better looking phones. The Triumph and the Droid X, and all that are butt FUGLY. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. Lol. I mean, it's just a big, plain, boring, non-stylish, sharp cornered slab of ugly. No joke...

It has been confirmed that the moto photon 4g will be shipped with the boot loader unlocked. Here it is @androidandme: Well, what have we here? Motorola reps at the event today have said the Photon 4G will NOT come with a locked bootloader. Finally!

I thought they said it was $200 with new activation or 2 year contract extension. $449 without contract. If it was $250 without contact or free with a contract I would snatch it up.

Atleast the sliding mechanism looks more solid than the G1's mechanism. That's not saying much though.

I'm gonna wait a few months and see what kind of feedback it gets and when the price goes down some before I make decision. I've been disappointed from the past few Moto's I've used, also the fact I just got a MT3G.

i´ll probably take a closer look on the upcoming tao (sholes)...

The specs are essentially the same as the epic, in that there is a qwerty keyboard, 1Ghz hummingbird. I'm not sure about screen resolution, but considering that this is also a CDMA phone, does anyone think it's possible to port the Indulge's 2.2 rom the Epic?

You might want to look over on the SDX Developers forum. The Indulge looks a lot like the Samsung transform. The Samsungs are usually over there. Vampirefo is the developer to ask about the Indulge. He was the main guy working on the Froyo port for the Transform.

Same here, but im not rooting hers though.
I think it's important not to lose sight of the primary purpose of your cell phone. For some it's voice, for others it's data capabilities. Once these priorities have been sorted out, then you should choose a carrier based on coverage of area you're in most. Finally you can start deciding on the handheld itself. Choosing a carrier based on devices they offer makes little sense. Look at at&t... in most areas (esp rurual), their coverage is crap, and even in the metro area (ie, chicago), dropped calls are still common. Of course, budget supersedes any and all of this.

That would be the rumored new phone possibly coming to T-Mobile. A couple of tech news sites ran an article a few weeks back speculating with the exact info you see on that page. A couple of sites have the "rumored" specs and pic and are offering pre-sale. This is not confirmed by either T-Mobile or Samsung so I definitely wouldn't pre-order yet.
Another thread around here asking who's getting it is about three weeks old also.

i've held the dx2, the sensation and other 4.3 inch phones, size is fine...but the att hercules is just bigger..
besides im not really focused on phones right now, my attention has been on tablets lately.. hopefully tmo will get a new nexus device in the fall or early next year..
just random... why is it that when i call tmo, it's like a party at their office, LOL.. i asked one time and the guy said that everybody is taking a break .. don't they have a break room or something? lol..

Does anyone else notice that HTC might be moving to one rom for all the carriers? I found ATT, Tmobile, Verizon, and Sprint status bar logos in the stock 4.2.2 update. I think HTC is doing the right thing here. Put everything in one rom, then based on the CID, install certain things. I still think that att should leave the icons alone...but this is better than nothing.
I guess this also confirms the Verizon variant of the One. (I know verizon confirmed it this morning)
EDIT: BTWm this was from the stock 4.2.2 rom from Mike. Not the ARHD rom.

What I consider a junk ROM is nokia's symbian s60v3 ROMs. There are alot of junks in there like image of homer simpson, a corrupt image, bunch of hello world text files, an apple logo with a worm, quotations, a pdf for origami and other stuffs. This even got an article years ago in symbian-freak
