The first thing you will notice about the Photon 4G of Motorola is it seems lighter and thinner than how it looks. It looks like a good build that made use the right materials making this phone handsome for the market.

It comes at just 158 grams and 12.2 mm thick. The styling of the Photon 4G veered away from the squarish Droids by Motorola but instead went for curved lines without the corners and the hard edges. The 4.3 inch touch screen is protected by a two-tone coating similar to that of the Mileston XT720 extending to the housing of the mic and the four buttons below the display.

At the back, you will find the 8 MP camera, the LED flash, and the soft-touch plastic covering the battery. There is also secondary microphones and the Motorola emblem in silver. The camera button and the volume rocker are on the right side of the phone while the headphone jack and power key are on the top. On the left side, you get the micro US and micro HDMI connectors.

Specifications-wise, the Photon 4G comes equipped with the Tera 2 1GHz dual-core from NVIDIA, 1GB of RAM, an internal storage of 1GB and the capability to be used in 8 radios. The last feature makes it a true global phone. The call quality is of high standards.

The Photon 4G makes use of the Gingerbread with a Motorola skin. The overall setup makes everything go smoothly with the phone coming in with apps and widgets from Motorola to help the user link with social media networks.

The performance of this phone in terms of speed is quite impressive. The screen display is awesome. So far, this could be the best Motorola handset in the market today.

Motorola recently released the Milestone XT720 that will be first rolling out in Europe. The Milestone XT720 is expected to turn the heads of those who love to snap pictures and videos with their cellphones at it comes with a sensor of 8 megapixels, 720p, 24 frame per second, and a xenon flash which is first for the popping-everywhere Android phones. The Milestone XT720 comes with Android version 2.1.

Other notable specs include:

• 3.7-inch screen with 480×854 resolution
• A8 CPU with 550MHz AM Cortex
• Talk time – 9 hours
• Standby time – 320 hours

The looks of this new release is pretty much similar to the Motorola’s prowling the scene of the Chinese market. It also looks that Moto is sticking with keyboard-less form handsets for now as they push for their goodies in Europe.

There has not been any update if the Milestone XT720 will head to the US. It might or it might not but we are guessing that they will make the European market as the barometer.

Initial reviews of this phone over the web complain about some shortcomings on the ergonomics department plus a bit of friction when you use the touchscreen. It is pretty much exciting to see a 10.9×13.7mm Android phone without keyboards but we hope it will not disappoint us when we get to feel it in our own hands.

The Sprint brand is one brand that I am definitely not a fan of.  I had Sprint as my first phone carrier and I hated them!  However – I have to say that the phones and phone plans that they are coming out with now is pretty incredible.  Take the Motorola Clutch i465 for example.  This is one of the few phones that I have actually been looking forward to and the reason?  Because it is truly freakin’ cool!  Not only does it have all of the technology of really a lot of the phones on the market now, but it looks interesting and different.

The Motorola Clutch i465 specs – just some of them include: iDEN Nextel Direct Connect handset with a full QWERTY keyboard. The i465 also has group messaging features that allow you to create groups of 20 people.  What you also might not know is that the Clutch is actually the first phone with iDEN technology in it.  Also, this phone meets Military Specifications of about 810F for low pressure, low and high temperature, dust, shock, solar radiation and shock!

So you wanted another phone why again?
