For those that are looking to move on, good deal on photon q

[gTen]

I found this awesome deal on the photon q for those that are interested in a newer phone with a keyboard.

rewardzonemobile.com

It is owned by Best Buy. Has the photon q for $100. Then they have $100 worth of rewards points.

Which makes the phone virtually free.

I am still thinking to get it or not, in comparison to the epic the pros are:

1 ) Qualcomm S4 dual core processor (same as galaxy s3)
2 ) 1gb ram
3 ) 1750mah battery
4 ) qHD resolution (though not 720p)
5 ) some people say better signal strength
6 ) LTE if your city has it
7 ) 4.3" screen
8 ) 8mp pictures & 1080p video recording (though camera isn't as good as gs3)

negatives are:
1 ) battery is not removable
2 ) no AMOLED
3 ) development is not there yet and most likely will never be as big as the epic was :/
4 ) No wimax if your city has that but no LTE

other notes:
1 ) Bootloader is un-lockable via HTC style registration.

Personally I am considering it simply because I don't think we will ever see a top end keyboard phone like the epic again

(I will keep this in the epic section for 2 days then move it out elsewhere)
