This is a great phone for its size and price. The physical QWERTY keyboard on a Smart Phone without sacrificing screen size is nice. The battery life is OK but could be better or at least give a removable battery to be able to have multiple batteries. It takes great pictures and the front facing camera is really nice when trying to take self shots or get a picture of a 2 year old that wants to see the screen. This is a great phone for what you pay. Motorola has done a wonderful job again

I got this phone to replace my evo shift when it died. Main reason I got it is because I'm one of those people who MUST have the keyboard. Texting is the main thing I use the phone for. With that being said, the keyboard feel is great. The phone is faster than my evo shift. Two biggest flaws: inability to remove the battery (and the stock battery life isn't the greatest) and inability to move apps to external memore card. So if you use a lot of large apps, this may be something to consider. I don't use a lot of apps.

I loved previous Photon, but occasionally missed the keyboard I'd had on my prior phone. Photon Q is faster and able to handle more apps easily, plus has physical keyboard for the occasional technical work where that's a blessing. Nice that it upgraded to Jelly Bean, too.

Got a great deal on this phone online at Bestbuy.com. Lightweight, easy to use, quick response time, love the 4G service. Does seem to use the battery quickly I would list that as the only Con I have seen so far so I always keep the charger close by. Definitely would recommend this phone especially to those that need the keyboard!

I've had one instance the phone's screen froze but it's probably because it was 5degrees outside. Other than that it's great. I love the keyboard the picture options and how fast it is. Its almost as fast as my new Dell laptop on my wifi.

I actually got this phone for free. Best Buy had it offered at 49.99 with 2 year Sprint agreement. BUT the catalog had it as FREE! So of course Best Buy being as awesome as they are gave it for FREE! Later I went to the Sprint store and saw it for 99.99. Woohoo! I got two of these by the way. The phone is pretty big for what we are used to now. It does get hot quickly but probably because of all the functions. It really is a smartphone with many abilities. Battery life is decent. I found an otter case for them so that was good. Love the qwerty board.

QuestionDoes Best Buy still sell the Motorola Photon Q 4G, if so where?I have noticed Best Buy web pages with Motorola Photon Q 4G. I am an ATT wireless service user. Would unlocked versions of Motorola Photon Q 4G from you work for me on ATT? Yes it's 2012 equipment, but it meets all my needs.

Questionwhat does broom mean own display.What does the broom mean w3hen it show up like at the top. I know the block with smile face mean message, but trying to figure out the brrom. Does that mean when I erase a message.
