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.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

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...

Moto G: Moto Grrrreat!

Before the Moto X was officially announced, people speculated that it might be offered at an incredibly low off-contract price. Some people even guessed that it would be $199 off - contract . This was sadly not true, but Motorola did say that they would eventually offer a device similar to the Moto X, but with a lower unlocked price. Motorola also said that the cheaper device would be geared towards more markets than the United States, like Brazil and other emerging markets. They have finally taken off the covers of the Moto G, and it is almost exactly as Motorola said it would be. It looks like a Moto X, but it has less expensive internals. Many other smartphone manufacturers have made cheaper versions of their flagship handsets, but they almost always turn out to be pieces of junk. Is the Moto G a worthwhile handset, even at its $179 off-contract price? Can you be happy with the Moto G as your primary device. Scroll onward to find out, but you can just look at the title if you wan...
