If this sounds good then whats wrong with droid 4 it is similar to this phone and it has the best qwerty keyboard i have ever used but i havent seen many users in our forum.

DROID 4 is excellent phone, with removable sim, it's far better

One important plus point, you have missed CID saab... It comes with UnLockable Bootloader (similar to HTC solution in near future)...

@nikme

The advantage of Photon Q over Droid4 is Dual-S4 (like US S-III == better performance + better battery life), ICS preloaded (will get official & unofficial JB for sure), OnScreen navi-keys (disadvantage for few), UnLockable Bootloader... But that non-removable SIM spoils all the other benefits, imho...

The embedded sim might be lte sim and not gsm one. Like thhe evo lte

[kshah 452]

It seems from LTE SIM of verizon that GSM is provisioned on LTE SIM only. I may be wrong but my observation while reading LTE SIM's data looks so.

[kshah 452]

Ideally, Motorola has proved that with right engineering, 4.3" phone can go upto 3300 mAH in less than 150 grams and if it follows the routine specs then in less than 175 grams, 4.3" screen phone can accommodate upto 5000 mAH battery.

For this phone (I am qwerty lover - but battery life now is my prime concern) If they follow RAZR / RAZZR MAXX engineering - then with same weight they can provide upto 3300 mAH battery and this could make this phone instant hit. IMHO
