First smartphone, the Motorola, Photon, Sprint: Durable, consistent, great, overall phone!
Posted: Sep 27, 2013, 3:39 PMPhone owned for more than a year
First off this Motorola, Photon, on Sprint, was my first smartphone. Prior to this I have had very low end feature phones on Straighttalk, 2009; then switched to Sprint.
Thats when I found my friend, the Photon! For a dual core, it was fast, then at one point, I went hog wild on the apps! Having some fun on autoraps, etc.
Point about my character, I am hard, on things, so it took a beating from me. I live in Colorado, where it snows, and the first year and 3 months, I had him encased, in a, Defender, by Otterbox.
I accidently, dropped him, and have been suffering since. But guess what, after the drop, he survived, no hardware damage and it was from a 3-foot drop, on concrete.
Also, water was introduced to him as in a quick drop, with a non-water proof, case on. And once bare, it had dropped from my back-pack, into a sink of running water.
Both times, I immediately, took him apart and dried, him (my Photon), out.
After each incident, no problems. Except I have a cracked screen,......my fault.
Overall, I feel Motorola, gets a two thumbs up, in a very durable, piece of machinery, it felt rugged.
Media wise, again hooray, I was very, pleased at which, the speed this small phone/mini-computer, aka smartphone, could do. Very pleased indead. I also believe that the android system is a superior format, for todays, needs and wants, of the consumer. I usually buy Motorola cell phones, but have always been attracted to the design quality of the Samsungs. I've been in the wireless since its inception....anyways, this time I have my eye on the Samsung, Galaxy Note as my next upgrade.
You can never go wrong with Motorola, they make superior products, and have been in the game along time. I know I buy their products.
Never had problems with anything, I loved the side kick stand, so much and will miss this. However, I believe I can purchase a case for my, new phone that has this feature.
The speakers on the Photon are very nice, it was one of the top smartphones, of its release time, Which featured a dual-core.
Great for Google searches, and play store is highly recommended if you are considering leaving the closed, and expensive, system of iproducts. This could be a nice used android phone that won't hurt your pocket. Still let you experience, the flow and ebb of Android platform.
Peace every one.
