Great phone Review by Jonno

Bought the Photon through Mobicity who were excellent. Phone arrived on a Thursday after being ordered on the Monday night.

The Photon is a great phone that has a lot of features. The dual processor means that it's a lot smoother than the Defy. The only gripe I might have is that whenever there's an upgrade or you take the battery out you will have to go back to square one for some of the settings as the phone will revert back to CDMA. This will be once every blue moon though so I wouldn't worry.

You'll also need to source the HD Dock from overseas somewhere if you want to use the 'Webtop' element of the phone, but this would appear to be well worth it - especially if you travel regularly. (Posted on 10/09/11)
