Mulling my options when it comes to replacing my cellphone
Posted By RichC on June 10, 2011
I’ve been keeping my eye on the new Sprint “Android” 
offerings since both Sprint and HP Palm have been a bit quiet on the slow motion release of the HP Palm Pre 3. The recent news from Sprint is that it will have the Motorola Photon 4G running Gingerbread 2.3 – the latest Android release. The Photon is similar in function to ATT’s Atrix although Sprint’s version will have a little larger screen and use a docking feature with TV, computer monitor and keyboard RATHER than the cool laptop-like docking station. Let’s say I’m thinking about a new phone, but not in a rush … although playing with my daughter’s new EVO 4G does make me a bit more anxious. (another temptation is the new HP Touchpad soon to be released … but not sure it is a ‘need’ items if one has a full featured smarphone and regularly uses a laptop?)
The Motorola Photon 4G features a 4.3-inch qHD display, 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 16GB of storage, front-facing VGA camera, rear-facing 8-megapixel camera with full 1080p HD video capture support, 4G WiMAX, 16 Gb of internal memory , external up to 32 Gb and GSM worldphone.
The Motorola Photon will be available this Summer via Sprint, price and date, still unknown.
