Photon Q LTE Recommended? - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

So I am bout to get back with Sprint, and the only phone I want is the PQ LTE... because of the keyboard. I've had a Mogul, q9c, and TP2.. and never really wanted this damn EVO 4G [but it was cheap].
The only thing that's making me hesitant is MOTOROLA! The locked down bootloader, closed and poor support.
Do you think the PQ LTE will even get a JB update anymore? After months of use, would you recommend the device?

Wait a week or two, see what all is unveiled at MWC.
Personally I want to ditch mine for the new HTC One.
That being said, it's still a great phone. Jellybean may or may not come, I don't really care any more at this point. We literally just got GSM CM10.1 (for the people who did the SIM card mod), with a CDMA/LTE version being worked on by two other guys.

Any new keyboard phones to be released in the near future? I also return to Sprint next month, and it seems the Photon Q is the only option.

Pretty much. Unfortunately physical keyboard phones seem to be a dying breed... HTC even officially stated they are no longer making them.

Yeah, they are definitely dying out. I've used only keyboard phones on Android, and i even used the old T-Mo Sidekicks made by Sharp... i don't know how others feel, but the Photon Q keyboard is the probably the easiest to type on for me, especially among the Android qwerty's! The one thing i can imagine desiring is for the rows to be staggered more, but even so, i can type really easily on this.

Should I buy a used Photon Q on eBay? I see one with a clean ESN for $175

I've been using a lot qwerty keyboard android phones. And I can tell you that this Photon Q is the easiest to type fast.

Just got mine

Just got mine in today. It's the S4 version as I live in Florida. I got it from a friend of a friend that works at HTC
I'm just now firing it up. I'm a lifelong Iphone user and I can't wait to get this thing charged and get my sim in.
Picture taken with an Iphone 4s that will be on craigslist shortly.
Anyone got any questions?
I'm an IT guy but I'm fairly to Android.
Just picked up mine as well! It's absolutely beautiful!

you actually want the lte one? i would gladly trade you my lte for the gsm one, if mine was not going to be locked to rogers.
I just think there will be a lot more dev support for the gsm over lte, the only reason i am getting through rogers is the price because i am upgrading.

I thought the exact same thing at first. We don't even have LTE here and I've heard horror stories of not being able to turn off the LTE antenna with various skinned versions of android. The reason I didn't want the quad core variant is because I really just want the superior processor.

It wasn't busy at all. The funny part was that the first customer service agent I asked about the One X didn't even know what a One X was or if they had any in stock. She then goes on to the back room and was absolutely fascinated by the phone. She was actually playing with the phone more than I was. They're getting a much bigger shipment when the phone actually has its coming out launch. Today was pretty much a cold launch.
Absolutely beautiful phone though. I had to goto work, so I didn't get a chance to play with it. I play with it when I get home.

Absolutely no headphones in the box (strange), but I assume most people buy 3rd party headphones anyway.
It's also another way to push Beats headphone sales.

Those cancelling HOX preorders, what makes you think the S3 BL won't be locked?

I've seen a few people say they are cancelling their HOX preorders and getting the S3 over this whole BL issue. I am just curious if people think it will be a different story with the S3. To me, it seems that AT&T is behind the lock and I assume they would just as quickly lock down the S3. What do you guys think?
I think it'll be just like vivid..it will be unlockable in around month..I hope lol either way I'm keeping mine it's beautiful!

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. I have been using my Samsung Captivate which was always easy to do whatever with. I just thought that it came from a different point in Android BL openness history
Would just like to add that the BL lock does suck, but this is by far the best stock experience I have ever had on any mobile device. That also includes iOS.

I agree. HTC has done a bang up job, but dammit I want Stock ICS
I think Samsung has a lot more pull with the carriers too. The Galaxy SIII was the most hyped phone in a long time... I don't think AT&T would just turn down the Galaxy SIII cause Samsung wants the boot loader unlocked.
I doubt SGS3 will be locked. But still Im not mad about HTC's Bootloader lock since it works so well out the box (like the Vivid after ICS) as long as it works well, im happy. Honestly im not in a hurry to root since i wouldnt know what to do except mess around since i dont think i need anything improved as of today (except wifi bug, but htc should fix soon)

My biggest thing is tethering, since I would have to give up my grandfathered unlimited data plan to get it with root.
The only thing I would be looking forward to would be a debloated stock ROM. I am loving this stock experience. Oh and also for occasional wifi tethering.
I actually just bought this phone from the AT&T store today.. switched from a Galaxy S2, rooted with CM7.2.
The stock experience on this phone is.. amazing, to say the least. The display alone is just crazy. It feels like I'm looking at a photo, or one of those stickers on the phones you can't actually mess with in stores.
While it sucks not being able to root + drop a custom ROM on here.. I'm willing to wait until it eventually happens. The out of box experience is head and shoulders above any other Android phone I've used (Nexus One, Galaxy S2, Droid Incredible). If it never gets unlocked.. well, I'll still be happy with my purchase.

There are alot of non-root tethering apps. Koush's works great.

Engagdet [HTC ONE X+] Rumour

Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
They could offer new and improved to many by simply unlocking the bootloader. I maybe wrong, but my gut feeling says most people in this community are not going to be upgrading.
If your unlocked, why trade up for a phone that likely isnt going to be htcdev supported. And if your one thats stuck with locked and no root, you can expect this device to implement at minimum, the same level of /system protection as the current hoxl. HTC could go BIG and announce the X+ will be unlockable, but if you were stuck unrooted that would just piss me off all the more.

Is this just the Tegra chipset that supports LTE? Slightly faster CPU, but not by much. Only seems to be an "upgrade" to get the international users on LTE in their respective countries/carriers.

T-Mobile in the US doesn't have LTE, or will any time soon.
But I think you're right about this being for T-Mobile. I remember reading that T-Mob was coming out with a variant of the One X/X+. The (slighlty upgraded) Tegra3 chipset without LTE would make sense for T-Mobile.
Cool, the perfect thread for my completely empty, meaningless response. Today, just might be my day!
Just what we want, to support a new phone that comes out with locked bootloaders and no way to root.
I was just thinking the extra confusion it'll cause on the forums with another similar model, another brick in the wall, or several coming up I bet.

1. This phone isnt for att
2. When will people drop this? Atleast they are giving the option, it's not their fault att doesn't want us to unlock.
I remember before all of this it was either s off or nothing.
With my old phone the rezound, they went against Verizon's wishes and allowed us to unlock the bootloader. Basically it lost all support afterwards, became the red headed step child of Verizon you can say
I don't think HTC wants this for their flagship phone

actually just before leaving tmobile (familys plan on att was significantly cheaper or I would have never switched over to bull**** att ) i was talking on the phone with them though about a sudden slow down in net speeds one week and they explained they were likely to end soon and was a result of them preping for lte. so it may be closer around the corner than thought.

Hmm, seems like T-Mobile has been messing around with their HSPA+ speeds as "part of the carrier's 4G network evolution plan" and possibly even deploy LTE-Advanced (not just LTE) in 2013: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/14/t-mobile-lte-advanced-trials/
I don't really keep up, since its not my carrier. But I didn't think they were even on track to deploy LTE anytime soon. Well, I guess technically that's true, since it seems like they may be skipping it for LTE-Advanced, lol!

Without a time estimation other than the 'it will get it', I'd say we're looking at June/July or later.

Still waiting for a new OTA. Have been switched back to the Evo Shift for more than a month now. I may just go with a Galaxy Note 2.

I have not read a single instance on here of AT&T denying warranty service, or even giving a poo at all, about unlocked bootloader or custom ROM being on a phone. But lots of reports of folks here successfully sending in "tampered" phones for warranty service on a hardware issue.

This happened to me. Have you tried taking it apart and adjusting that cable that is bent at 90°? That worked for me, but the phone caught on for shortly after. enjoy the one. I'd get it if att wasn't conspiring with HTC to keep away the rooters, and I don't want to pay $650 since the nexus 4 is great for under 400

I'm thinking about it, but I'm not going to take it apart until I'm sure I'm sticking with the One and all is well.
FWIW, HTC is not blocking the One, whether or not AT&T ever plans to ask them to. Looks like the rumors were wrong.
The international One roms work great on the AT&T version. I don't think I'm ever going back to an AT&T base.
Also, the frustrating multitasking issues on the One X? Not a sign of them on the One. :victory:
Just dropped mine and the screen shattered the other day. Have ensquared so paying $75 to have another one sent to me.
Honestly a little bummed I couldn't get a Samsung gs3 (or onex+) shipped out instead, but ay least I'll still have a phone .

I honestly want it, but I don't think my contract is over with the one x until late this year, and I'd rather not pay the cancellation fee :\ or the $650 Google version with aosp or Dev version

Lots of people have gotten early upgrades by complaining loudly enough. I was at least six months early.

Agreed. I lost my phone about 6 months before my upgrade was due, and ATT was more than willing to send me a One X. I paid a whopping 99 cents for it

Did you guys have AT&Ts extra insurance, or is this the normal 1 year warranty? My battery has been really screwey recently, keeps getting drained really fast when the phone is sleeping. I'm wondering if I should just go make some noise.
