Just switched from evo3d

---

I am a longtime htc fan but am finding myself impressed by this phone where the 3d wasnt giving me that umph. Call quality and signal are far better on this phone which has shown better speeds and battery life. I cant wait to see this unlocked cause im diggin it stock and cant wait to see what some devs would do to it ....

Yes indeed! Huge fan of this keyboard, feels like a cross between TouchInput and Gingerbread keyboard.

I also deactivated my EVO 3D and bought the Photon. It absolutely pulls a much better 3G and 4G signal. I get much better 3G and 4G signal strength and data stays connected unlike my EVO 3D. Phone calls and sound quality is also much better than the EVO 3D. I always get good compliments about the great call quality of this new Photon. I got bad feedback from people when i was using the EVO 3D The build quality is really amazing too. The ONLY thing i miss is HTC Sense. But I need a phone that actually works and the Photon does exactly that.

OK guys, I'm very used to the HTC IME keyboard with it's arrows and I'm having a hard time getting used to the Photon's stock keyboard. My biggest complaint is that it's cumbersome to add punctuation and symbols to my texts/emails. I have to press the number button and/or the punctuation button then search for the qyuestion mark, etc then go back to regular letters... Is there any advice you can give that might make this easier? This is driving me nuts because it takes me too long to type simple sentences. Mabe I'm doing something wrong so that's why I'm asking. I can't see how this keyboard is so good as you both claim... Thanks in advance.

Long press on the . button to open a menu for symbols. Press in the box and a slider will appear to more accurately move your pointer.

Yeah people were constantly complaining about the evo3d call quality .....the ear piece sounded muffled to and the speaker was a joke. Ive gone from a touch pro to a hero to a desire then a g2 and a mytouch 4g then the evo3d. So i am very accustomed to using sense but the photon overlay isnt bad.

I use Thumb Keyboard off the market and like it a lot. I use it on my tablet and phone. It has customizable layouts for portrait and landscape and has programmable keys. It is skinnable and arrow keys are there also. It's not free but worth the purchase.

Launcher pro does run so smooth on it plus its awesome that u can still use motos widgets on it couldnt do that with sense
