So long, I barely knew thee. I was merely this weekend away of getting the photon q when CM10 was released official preview. Purchase plans have since been delayed :laugh:

Re-posted (and updated) form a previous post:
Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE Comparison
Finally an upgrade path for Epic 4G users and/or Tactile fans. Everything else was a downgrade.
The Motorola Photon Q 4GLTE (MoPhoQ) appears to beat the Epic 4G, in all accounts, hands down, at least on paper.
The MoPhoQ has every option that the epic has except possibly touchwiz.
The Photon Q meets or exceeds all the specs & features of the Epic 4G.
Radio: Full world phone with 4GLTE & CDMA 800, CDMA 850, CDMA 1900, GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, LTE 1900, WCDMA 850, WCDMA 1900, WCDMA 2100 vs. E4G- obsolete WiMAX 2500 with CDMA 850 & CDMA 1900
Battery Size: 1785 mAh vs. 1500 mAh
Display Type & Resolution: LCD 540 x 960 pixels vs. OLED (Full-Color) 480 x 800 pixels
Display Size: 4.3" vs. E4G- 4.0"
OS: Android ICS 4.04 vs. Android 2.36 unless rooted
OS updates: Highly likely for the Photon to recieve JB as it is newer and a half-brother to Android by marriage.
Memory, Internal Storage: 8 GB raw hardware, 4.6 MB available to user +1GB RAM vs. E4g- 1.5GB raw hardware 461 MB available to user
Camera: 8+ megapixel vs. E4G- 5+ megapixel
Video Capture: 1080p HD 30FPS back & 720P front vs. E4G- 720p HD 30FPS back
Also the MoPhoQ has TV output via HDMI port, 4G LTE, Hearing aid compatiblity, NFC, it's not samsung & it has 4G LTE.
The only down side is it weighs 15Grams more and is several thousanths on an inch larger, literally 0.070" larger.
Processor 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon vs. E4G- 1 GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird
From what xboxfanj says the processor should be at least 4 times faster and be able to operate more efficiently.
Since the battery is bigger, the processor is more efficient that should balance out the extra drains caused by the newer OS and lack of touchwiz .
The published battery life information appears to indicate a +25% increase in battery life but that remains to be seen.
A short hands on showed and decently substantial feeling phone that appears very close to the E4G.
The only drawback is the extra 4.3" is basically taken up by the soft keys so the screen is the same size as the epics if you include the 4 capacitive buttons.
What are the drawbacks you guys are referring to?
Is the unlock-able boot loader the problem?
For keyboard phones, especially on sprint, this is the only thing to beat or even match the Epic 4G for size and specs so far.

An unlockable bootloader is a deal killer in my book. But it is pretty, I will give Moto that much...

Boot loader is unlockable thanks to moto.

Only reasons I don't like it is,
Non removable battery
And
The battery is only 1750mAh. That's 350mAh smaller than the gs3.

yah, an non-removable battery is as much a deal killer as a locked bootloader, at least IMO
note: I did see several reports the bootloader was unloackable though

No Removable battery, Moto Locked Bootloader, Battery is 1750mAh I would like to upgrade that to a higher capacity like my epic has 1800 mAh. I mean come on Moto? It had potential but just took the **** route and the KB layout looks stupid and the side of it is too big kind of a like a bezzle on a monitor the epics KB looks nicer

The Motorola Atrix 4G and HTC Inspire 4G are the two top Android Fighters on ATT right now. For those of you who are looking just for a highest end smartphone and not the accessory ecosystem that the Motorola offers, it can be a fastest race. Both the Motorla Atrix 4G and the HTC Inspire 4G are Android 2.2 (Froyo) devices at the time of announcement. The Motorola Atrix 4G uses a 1 GHz dual-core Tegra processor to drive a 4-inch screen displaying the Motoblur modification of Android 2.2. The HTC Inspire 4G uses a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor to drive a 4.3-inch screen displaying the Sense modification of Android 2.2. The HTC Inspire 4G has the larger display but the Motorola Atrix 4G has much higher resolution.
The processor speeds are same, but dual-core usually outdoes single-core when discussing processor performance. The HTC Inspire 4G has 4GBs of onboard storage and the Motorola Atrix 4G has 16GBs of onboard storage. The Motorola Atrix 4G has the larger 1930 mAh battery whereas the HTC Inspire 4G has a smaller 1230 mAh. Thus, the HTC Inspire 4G usually runs out of power before the Motorola Atrix 4G when subject to same usage patterns.
The Atrix costs $199 vs. the Inspire’s $99, but the added money gets you a dual core CPU on the Motorola and a front-facing camera. But HTC fights back with a larger 4.3″ display that’s a pleasure to use, and a higher resolution main camera that takes much better shots.
Comparison - HTC Inspire 4G vs Motorola Atrix 4G
​We also putting together a video comparing the two top contender Android phones on AT&T right now. We look at size, design, features and speed too on Video.

Great review thanks.It has helped me in choosing my new phone I’m about 95% sure i’m getting the atrix now. I was waiting for this showdown. i was just surfing the net for comparision like this
God, I'm so conflicted right now. Inspire has community roms(with Gingerbread!) and its half the price.
Atrix is dual core(should be more futureproof), higher resolution and has a better battery life.
What do I do!!!!!!!

Stop walking around annd ttalking in circles, look at your currennt phone, andthink about what you want more from it.
Don't get caught up in the hype or technical specs, right now software > hardware in mobile phones.
I got the Atrix and ended up taking it back because of a few things I didn't like; thhat isn't to say I didn't like the phone, it was very fast, but I just don't I need dual cores right now.
I ended up taking it back and I'm using a Nexus 1 right now.
Look at what you want inyour phone. If you aren't playing HD movies all day and you aren't streaming over HDMI or playing super high quality games, you do not need a dual core phone. People keep saying that stuff is being developed, what stuff? Why? There are going to be leas than 2 dual core phones for each carrier this summer, not enough to entice the majority of app maakers to code for that, most likely because there is no reason at this point.

My phone came with a 2 YEAR contract not a 3 month contract. I'm not looking at what I need right now, or this summer, that's stupid. I'm looking for something that will still work OK 12-24 months from now.
So yes, this summer there will only be a few dual core phones. How about next summer? Besides, pretty much all the new tablets coming out are dual core, and that's where you're really going to see the fancy games. I'd much rather have my beastly dual 1GHz/1GB ram phone getting scaled down tablet apps than continuing to have to play crap designed to run well on a 550mhz Droid 1.
Realistically speaking though, applications developed next year are not going to require dual core processors.
That's why I was sqtibg, if you aren't going to be playing HD games, you don't need to get the Atrix.
I have nothing against the phone, hell I rushed to get it on day one. It's up to you on what you decide to get, I'm just offering my oppinions on what you should do.
I admit the post was a little harsh, but if you just stop and really think about whar is needed or necesary aalong with what you need, the process will be a lot easier.
The only thing stopping me is a locked bootloader that I don't know the progress or future of.

Sometimes sprint waits for the grass to settle before spreading more fertilizer. They usually have an inane sense of what to plant and what not to plant. The Evo and Epic were barn stormers. The Nexus S 4G is ratecheting it up a notch and I expect they will be batting them out of the park soon.

The screen reeks of Photoshop, as does the Sprint logo.
Not to mention the semi-ridiculous specs:
600mhz Dual core processor? It wouldn't make much sense to invest in an underclocked dual-core vs the Hummingbirds they are using for mid-range phones.
320 x 480 3.4 inch Super Amoled, not worth the money to produce an entire set of panels for a device that won't sell well at all.
Also that keyboard and body are from the MetroPCS Galaxy phone.

The picture above makes it quite obvious with the “Galaxy S II” logo printed on the back. While this is expected to be a rather minor upgrade, with no major changes, a few improvements are expected, such as a seemingly larger 4.5-inch display, as opposed to the current Galaxy S II’s 4.3-inch one, and support for T-Mobile’s faster HSPA+ 42Mbps connection.
Much like the original Galaxy S II, this slightly revised model is expected to include the hardware and features that made the previous one successful, namely its dual-core 1.2 GHz SoC processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, an 8-megapixel camera and the ability to output fully uncompressed 1080p high-definition video through its built-in HDMI port. There are no apparent changes software-wise: much like the original release, the revised Galaxy S II is expected to include the latest version of Android, 2.3 Gingerbread, along with Samsung’s custom TouchWiz interface, which is aimed at streamlining Android’s standard user experience. The phone’s back now sports a brushed metal look as well, contrasting with previous Galaxy S II models.
Although the handset is not yet available through a carrier in the US, its release is projected to take place sometime this month. In addition to T-Mobile, this variant of the Galaxy S II is expected to also be available North of the border through the Canadian carrier Telus.

So what? I don't care, we're talking about SGS2
Looks like a bigger, slimmer nexus s. In my opinion not bad looking, we have to just see if the specs remain the same as original sgs2 or not. Also not sure how comfortable it will be holding a 4.5 inch screen for one hand typing.

Im waiting for the hercules to drop because the tmobile 4g speeds when i had the g2x were insane 9mb down at night 7mb down average. On the other hand if this doesnt have the exynos chip i think ill pass and hold out for the nexus prime.

So, it's the same CPU, same ram, same display, but +4G, +better camera, + new design, +locked bootloader?
Not worth upgrading imo.
Complete dissapointment. Worse than what apple does. It even looks like crap with the curved edges. See everyone acts like apple is dumb for releasing the same phone. I would be happy with the same looking atrix, faster cpu, 720p screen and better camera. Im done with Motorola.
It also only has 8gb storage which is a major downgrade. CRAP!

its actually not a tegra 2 processor, screen is a little bigger and isnt a pentile display, no fingerprint scanner and they cut the internal memory in half. you also cant use the docks from the atrix 4g. definitely not worth the "upgrade"

WTF Motorola, adding mirror to a new phone that should have been added to the 8 month old one.
Definitely not giving up cm7 for this. In fact I feel it's a downgrade I many respects.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
they took away the fingerprint unlock ?
I agree with all the above, it is not worth the changing, especially since no word on the damn bootloader thing is being said. I guess that it will be locked as hell, with no easy unlockin in sight....
I prefer the photon on this crap any day, and wouldnt replace my Atrix for neither...
Boo Motorola! I like my Tegra and pudding thank you very much. not worth the downgrade. things in the original Atrix world are just starting to get interesting.
Where is our hdmi mirroring?!?!?!
I might as well pile on here as well and say LOL. Why the hell would they do this. Oh wait I know. MONEY. Greedy corporations make me vomit.
I cant help but wonder what went through the minds of the people who made this phone. It obviously was not meant as an Atrix replacement at first or it would match the internal storage and have a fingerprint scanner.
Also, no unlocked bootloader = no CM7. Atrix > Atrix 2.
I'm better off waiting for the Nexus Prime!

This is a slap in the face to all Atrix owners. iPhone 4s is a monumental leap forward compared to this.
Why so early ? the Atrix came out in April this year, now the Atrix 2 coming out in October ?
They should be waiting to next year and releasing it with ICS and with stronger CPU.
Well.... guess I'll be rooting and keeping my original Atrix.

It really is depressing that this is what the wireless world is coming to. For a company to release a second version of such an impressive phone.. with LESS features and less memory is just ridiculous. I would never upgrade to such a phone, even for the 'faster' web access. With the Prime coming and ICS, this seems like a desperate attempt to lock more customers in to a contract with a gimmicky sequel. The original Atrix is leaps and bounds ahead of this new version with all the hacks that have been accomplished.. and with nightlies coming, and ICS potentially in the future, I'll be happy to keep my Atrix 1. The only thing that might convince me to change phones is an ICS Prime.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 launched !!

The Samsung Galaxy Note II is arguably the biggest star of the IFA 2012 and many were wondering if the second-gen phoneblet will actually be worth the hype. And what better way to see if the Note II delivers than to compare it to the Galaxy S III best-seller. We’ve also thrown in the original Galaxy Note to give you an idea of the kind of progress Samsung has achieved over the past year.
The Galaxy Note II has undergone a complete redesign, and now looks like a proper bigger brother of the Galaxy S III. But is the bigger screen, the S Pen and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean be enough for the Galaxy Note II to steal the show from the company’s current Android flagship?
It’s too early to give a definite answer, but the table below is certainly a good first step.

I wasn't going to get it, but if I was going to get it I wouldn't now. I had the SII and Note so I know they are decently built, the S3 was a disappointment in term of durability, both the screen and body. The Note 2 looks like just a larger version of the S3 with exact same design, I think one would have to be extremely careful using it and I won't be surprised to see similar quantity of complaints like with the S3. Sorry if I hurt any fanboys feeling, but having a higher expectation from profiting corporations isn't necessarily a bad thing.
With that said I like the fact it is slimmer despite a longer screen, unfortunately with lower resolution as a result, but the Note was too wide. The bigger battery is always a welcome, this thing is going to last for 2 days at least.
I remembered paying $850 when the Note fist came out, I'm sure the Note2 will be probably around the S3 price so that's another good thing.
Also its still too square with round corners, Apple will jump on that.
I feel like it's going to be like the S3 and end up with a dual core rather than a quad core for America even though it says 4G in the announcement.
hmmm,,
i willing to buy this phone,,
this phone head to head with coming iphone 5..

This may finally be the rumored exynos with late compatibility. It says everywhere its got the exynos, then the sentence after says it supports both 4g. I call that a confirmation!

I have, a S2 and a Note.. It seems like Note 2 it's a large S3 but my note has a biguer screen.. Quadracore and 4G? I heard that story on S3, before the launch but when it come out.. 4G version with snapdragon dual core only.
The Phone it is cute, but I'm not going to tarde my Note 1 for 2. Maybe when comes out the Note 3 six core.. With a nvidia on board graphic

I don't actually think that the note 2 screen is pentile. Samsung have changed the arrangement.
This does not look like pentile or rbg.

When i see the new line of Sony.......yeah the screen is 4.6 inch but Bravia, 13MP camera, 1.5Ghz Krait.........it is a tough choice when i consider the build quality of both manifactures.......
