It looks pretty great.  I cannot imagine what the hell you are going to do with Windows Mobile on a phone though. 

Windows Mobile is dead, its a completely different OS

yeah, it's all the same thing to everyone that isn't hemmy

Except windows mobile sucks and Windows Phone is really nice...

I can neither confirm nor deny that I'm a hemmy sock, but it's definitely different.

officially called the HTC EVO 4G LTE

http://gizmodo.com/5899165/htc-evo-4g-lte-hands-on-one-serious-piece-of-slick


The 2000mah hard battery worries me.    If the battery life is anything like the EVO that will be a nightmare.

I may have to continue to limp along on my EVO though until June now.   Was going to get a Galaxy 2 next week.

The One X makes the iPhone look dated and ugly.

Verizon

I've had an LG envyII and was pleased with it but like you said some times they lock up and buttons stop working.  I am interested in getting a touch screen type with qwerty keypad slide out or flip.  I just can't justify adding a data plan.  If I could use it for work I would add a plan but I have no use for one.  The wife has an iphone and uses the crap out of it for work.  So I guess my question is which stupid phone is the least crappy?

Damn only $200.  If I could only spend $450 more dollars for an inferior phone that markets itself to pretentious hipsters.

The One X looks great.  I'd consider that just be different from all the iphone users.

The Lumia 900 looks pretty fantastic for its price -- only $100!

Yeah, I like the screen size on my Epic.  Just the other day I was making fun of the Galaxy note, only to find out hours later that the Galaxy S III isn't going to be much smaller.  I may go with the iPhone 5 just to get a quad-core without a gigantic phone.

So, I decided not to wait for the rollout of Sprint's LTE phones/network and got a Motorola Photon yesterday.

So far, I like the phone but am not sold on Motorola's UI.

Anyone use a launcher they would recommend?

Nova Launcher is the stock 4.0 launcher with some awesome upgrades.

Go Launcher is another good one.

Haven't tried Nova Launcher, but agree that Go Launcher is very nice.
