Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is available for pre-order, Sprint QWERTY lovers finally get satisfied

Sprint customers have been waiting for a new QWERTY slider for a long time (the Epic 4G came out TWO YEARS AGO Sprint) and the Photon Q 4G LTE has answered their prayers. The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is available for pre-order now, and it will be available on August 19th for $200 on contract. The Photon Q 4G LTE is the successor to last year's Photon 4G, and it is the first worthy QWERTY device on Sprint since the Epic 4G that was released in 2010. If you have not already heard about the Photon 4G LTE, it is a QWERTY slider smartphone that has very nice spec list. The Photon Q 4G LTE has a 4.3 inch 720p ColorBoost display, a dual-core 1.2GHZ processor of an unknown maker (hopefully it is an Snapdragon S4), an 8MP 1080p rear-facing camera with LED flash, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, Sprint 4G LTE (hence the name), and the star feature, a five row physical keyboard. The keyboard looks very much like the fantastic keyboard on the Droid 4 with its laser-cut keys and LED backlighting. The Photon Q 4G LTE also has Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the Motorola skin, but hopefully Sprint and Motorola will update this to Jelly Bean and not abandon it as they did to the Photon 4G. This new handset looks like a fantastic handset and it finally offers Sprint customers a fine QWERTY handset. The only negative thing we can say about this is that Sprint has failed its customers with its slow LTE rollout. Overall, this is probably going to be the next best choice for Sprint customers that need to have their physical keyboard. Want more information on Sprint and Motorola's latest QWERTY offering?

Update: The Photon Q 4G LTE actually has a qHD rather than the rumored 720p display.

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Smartphone cameras have drastically changed in the past few years. Most smartphone cameras have improved so much that most people use their smartphone as their main camera. Some companies have decided to make  cameras with fewer megapixels and better sensors , while most smartphone manufactures have improved their cameras by adding more megapixels. Nokia is one of these people and they have proven it even more with their latest smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020.

AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Ice Cream Sandwich update is coming tomorrow with Premium Suite

Is Gingerbread too dry for you on your enormous Samsung phablet? We have good news for you if you are that such of a person, because the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note is finally getting a cold, sweet serving of Ice Cream Sandwich tomorrow. Along with the usual features that come with Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4, Samsung threw in the Premium Suite that came on the international version's Ice Cream Sandwich update. The Premium Suite offers big improvements in S-Memo and S-note, and S-note is now integrated with Wolphram Alpha. Disappointingly, you will not get the TouchWiz features that are on the Samsung Galaxy s III's (S-Voice, Smart Stay, S-Beam, Photo Recognition, and many other S's). You still will probably not be disappointed from the lack of these features, because you will still get many other new features in the upgrade. For those of you who do not know what the Samsung Galaxy Note is, it is the smart phone that has the biggest screen in the ...
