Okay, WTF is going on here...

Clearly, the Photon should be the device to pioneer it especially since it's highlighted in the damn ZumoCast page. Instead, the Droid 3 and Bionic are the ones who get first crack at it.

See here: Motorola - ZumoCast

Now I don't really care for the app itself, but damn, show the Photon some love Motorola...

Where did you see that at? According to the link you provided, ZumoCast gets installed on the phone & PC- there's nothing here which makes it Droid 3/Bionic specific.

My point is, in the site, the Photon is featured. Not the Droid 3 or the Bionic, and yet when it launched, it wasn't highlighted as a selling-point like it was in the Bionic. It didn't even come pre-loaded like it was in the Droid 3.

In fact, there's little to no marketing for the Photon unlike the Droid phones, which is why not a lot of people are running out to buy it...

Thank you for clarifying.
As far as little to no marketing of the Photon, it almost seems that it's the phone they don't want you to buy. I don't understand this. If other carriers can promote their badass "Droids", why not Sprint with the Photon? I'm inclined to think Sprint was just determined not to allow a different model overshadow the EVO line.

Every sprint store I went to the guys there recommended the photon over the 3vo despite all the advertising.

Exactly! Not to mention that this is also the only Motorola "flagship" without "flagship" accessories. The Atrix and the Bionic had a ****load when they were released, but the Photon got none of the goodies...

Sad really...

I think sprint has a contract with htc as their "top dog" supplier for android phones. If they didn't I do think they would be advertising a lot more for the photon. My two cents

I installed motoprint and it seemed to work but I had to manualy add my printer. When I did it told me it was not compatible and to use motohost. I found that online at motorla and installed that to my pc. Its supposed to let your phone connect to the host server on your pc and print that way. I than went to advanced search hit motohost search but it never connected to my pc to print. I will keep messing with it to see if I can get it to work.
