Motorola Photon 4G Calls And Computes

Online Cellular: Motorola's Photon 4G Calls And Computes - After a period of about two years, during which there were few Motorola phones rolled out for Sprint's mobile network, the two companies are working together with a vengeance. The Android-based Photon 4G smartphone is the first tangible result, but they've announced more than ten mobile devices will be coming before the end of the year.

The first to be shown, the Photon 4G, was announced at a press conference yesterday where I was able to try it out.

The Photon 4G is conceptually similar to Motorola's Atrix 4G: equal parts phone and computing device. When the Photon is placed into its small optional HDMI dock, it's transformed into a rudimentary computer that can drive a large-screen monitor or TV as well as connect with a keyboard and mouse. However, the Photon lacks the Atrix's cool optional laptop dock that turns the phone into a notebook. This one is strictly stationary.
