It has been 6 months since the Photon was released, could Moto be bringing something big to the LTE table? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the case, I hope the monster battery this beast is packing catches on. If they can put a 3300 mAh battery in a RAZR, they can put it in about anything.

I was beginning to wonder since Moto has released 7-8 phones since then (half going to Verizon) with none coming to Sprint.. This would be a good way to keep the momentum and see if Moto phones can get away from the stranglehold Verizon has on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprint and Moto did say last summer when they announced the Photon that there would be more to come from Moto on Sprints network. I would like to see some more Moto Devices.. I hear the radios in them are great.. picking up signals where other phones fail. If not, I'll be looking for the next flagship HTC device (EVO). The (original) EVO 4G was (is) one of the best devices I've ever used or seen. (I'm sporting a Galaxy S II, EVO 4G, and Nexus S 4G now.)
