Sprint and Motorola have come togetherfor a promising partnership and just yesterday everyone could look atthe first fruit it bore – the dual-core Motorola PHOTON 4G. ThePHOTON 4G is a 4.3-inch handset with qHD resolution, a dual-coreTegra 2 processor and the latest of Gingerbread spiced up withMotoblur, but it could also be used on a GSM network and featuresSprint's 4G WiMAX network.
Sprint has traditionally offered astrong Android portfolio, and the company's VP of product developmentand operations, Fared Adib, confirmed that with hard numbers: half ofSprint's phone sales are smartphones, while 70% of those smartphonesare running Android. The Photon 4G brings Sprint on par with whatother carriers have to offer in the dual-core space. One can't helpbut notice the similarity between AT&T's Motorola Atrix 4G andthe PHOTON 4G. But the latter differs with some neat littleadditions.
