Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE heading to Sprint?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaSprintPHOTON 4G
It looks like Sprint and Motorola are working on the successor of Photon 4G, which as far as we’re hearing will be called Photon Q 4G LTE. Yep it will run on Sprint’s soon-to-be-launched LTE network and aside from the new radio, it will also sport a 720p HD screen and perhaps a quad-core processor. The last thing is just a speculation on my end, though when you think about it with all other major handset makers set to announce a quad-core device (some of them already have such product – HTC One X), Moto should do something about it and prepare its answer…

Motorola PHOTON 4G owners, Motorola wants you
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPHOTON 4G
Motorola is looking for 1,000 owners of the Motorola PHOTON 4G to take part in a "soak test" of a software update. As we've pointed out before, this is how Motorola can test an update with a limited number of devices involved just in case there is a problem that requires more work on the software. Also, those testing the update give the manufacturer another set of eyes and ears that might be able to find a bug that somehow slipped past Motorola's own testing.
It would be great for Motorola PHOTON 4G users if this update had to do with Ice Cream Sandwich, but that seems unlikely at this point in time. If you are interested in using your PHOTON 4G as a Guinea Pig, you need to be a member of th...

Motorola PHOTON 4G updated with Google Talk video chat, Lapdock support and more
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPHOTON 4G
Almost missed this… Sprint and Motorola released the update for the PHOTON 4G. Software version 45.3.6.enUS adds sooo much on the table, including Google Talk video chat, proximity sensor bug fix, enhancements of pictures taken in panorama mode, and the introduction of international roaming 3G UMTS hotspot functionality for a single Wi-Fi enabled device. In addition — and this is where it becomes really cool — the new update also brings support for Lapdock 100, you know that Motorola accessory that effectively turns your PHOTON 4G (and few other compatible smartphones) into a laptop computer. Now that’s I’m thinking, the only reason I would grab a Motorola smartphone today is to be able to u...

Motorola LAPDOCK 100 turns select Moto smartphones into laptops
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID BIONICPHOTON 4GATRIX 2
This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the moment when smartphones are beginning to replace laptop computers. The newly unveiled Motorola LAPDOCK 100 connects to select Moto smartphones effectively turning them into laptops.
To be fair, we’ve already seen something similar in the past with Celio REDFLY products, which worked with Windows Mobile devices, providing users with big screen and big keyboard. This time, however, we’re talking about an Android-based solution and we’re hoping other handset manufacturers and/or third-party accessory makers will release more of such “docks” that sing along an array of smartphones.
The Motorola LAPDOCK 100 weighs 2.2lbs (less than 1Kg) and works...

U.S. Cellular's HTC Hero S pictured alongside Motorola Electrify
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCMotorolaEVO Design 4GPHOTON 4G
Aside from the Motorola Electrify, U.S. Cellular will be adding another Android smartphone to its offering in the next couple of days (or weeks). It’s the HTC Hero S, which as far as we see is the carrier’s version of the Kingdom (EVO Design 4G). If that’s true (and we think it is), expect a device with specs that include a single-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, 4-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) display, 5-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing VGA camera (for video calls), GPS, 3G and Wi-Fi data, Bluetooth and so on.

Motorola ELECTRIFY announced for US Cellular
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPHOTON 4G
Are you a US Cellular customer who is feeling a little left out from the lack of new Motorolahandsets on the carrier? Fret no more, good chum, as the Motorola Electrify has just been announced, which is essentially the Photon 4G. The dual-core toting Android phone will land on the sixth largest carrier in the nation later this month and give you more power in your hands than you know what to do with.
We’d be lying if we said the Photon 4G is our favorite smartphone around but it may sound like a dream come true to US Cellular customers. The handset sports a 4.3 inch in qHD display, 1GHz dual-core processor, and 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash. The press release makes no mention of th...

Motorola's Photon 4G: The best Android smartphone yet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPHOTON 4G
There's new hope for Android aficionados who want IT to let them use their preferred mobile OS for work, thanks to Motorola Mobility's four business-oriented smartphones: the Photon 4G and Xpert for Sprint, Atrix 4G for AT&T Wireless, and Droid 3 for Verizon Wireless. Motorola has filled in several deficiencies of the Android operating system that keep many IT organizations from allowing its use. For example, the new Motorola devices add support for on-device encryption to Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" and support more Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) security policies, so they're now compliant with many organizations' security requirements.

Motorola PHOTON 4G gets update to fix calling issues
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPHOTON 4G
Sprint has begun pushing out an update to the Motorola PHOTON 4G Android smartphone that addresses a nasty bug when making calls. Numerous PHOTON 4G users have reported that there is no sound when placing or receiving phone calls. Apparently the PHOTON 4G was muting itself automatically, preventing any sound from coming through. This software update addresses that bug, and also improves overall stability of the system. Additionally, there is now Bluetooth support for mono headsets in the Sprint Visual Voicemail app. The update is rolling out in stages, and users will be notified when it is ready to be downloaded and installed. Alternately, users can check for updates in the System Updates se...

HTC EVO 3D and Motorola PHOTON 4G $99 at Amazon with free activation until tomorrow
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCMotorolaEVO 3DPHOTON 4G
Two of the best Android handsets money can currently buy in the US - the HTC EVO 3D and the Motorola PHOTON 4G - got lowered to $99 on Amazon for new contracts.
What's more, until midnight today, your activation fee for Sprint is waived as well, which makes the deal $36 sweeter.
We can't argue with the phrase that good things come to those who wait, but in this case you might have to wait for the holiday season for these two handsets to become free on contract, so if you have been eying one of them, now might be the time to pull the trigger.

Some Motorola PHOTON 4G units suffering from a “silent call” issue
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPHOTON 4G
It has been brought to our attention that some units of the Motorola PHOTON 4G are causing headaches to their unlucky owners. More specifically, a number of PHOTON 4G smartphones have been reported to be experiencing the exact same symptom – when placing calls, the other party cannot be heard in the earpiece when speaking. Quite a serious issue for such a high-end device, don't you agree?
