It is nice to see even towns like Lima should have LTE by the end of the year.

How is the battery life?

Scarlet_Buckeye;866384 wrote:Hogwash. There are plenty of great devices out there. For Verizon, the Droid CHARGE. For AT&T, the Atrix.

If the iPhone 5 is 4G, look out. That will be a game (i.e., industry) changer. It would be thin, fast, and decent battery. That will springboard the competition into finding ways to answer the battery drain issue.

Jawbreaker;866581 wrote:Hogwash? I don't consider the Atrix 4g (that is up for debate) since it is using AT&T's 3g network thus battery life is better. Droid Charge? Really? It might be a nice phone but it isn't a got to have phone. It isn't close to being on the same line as a Galaxy S II or a IPhone.

Jawbreaker;866603 wrote:What are you comparing it to? Is it the best of the current corp of LTE phones? Sure. Is is the best phone on the market? I don't think so.

It is a last generation phone that doesn't have the WOW factor.

I've been checking out the Photon on Sprint. I'm available for an upgrade, but still unsure. I've never been a huge fan of Motorola phones.

Jawbreaker;867313 wrote:So wait, you are cool to have a phone that only last 6 hours on a charge? You must be a cell phone manufacturer's dream. Also, I hope you didn't think I was bitching about battery life in my last post.

I really hope the reports are true about the Bionic's battery life because it just might be my next phone. My Incredible's power button is just about ready to fall off.

No offense, but I hated selling phones to guys like you. Drove me absolutely nuts when someone would come in to look at a phone, and then would talk about how they are going to wait for the next phone to come out...and then they would do the same thing all over 3-6 months later. Even worse, was when they would buy it "to give it a test", and you just knew it was going to come back. I would rather deal with billing issues than customers who did that.

The Photon is a very solid device, as is the EVO 3D. Specs on both phones will carry a customer who buys it today through their two year contract without feeling like they are too out of date by the end of it.
