Hi,
While browsing this morning I found the following article:

Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE to arrive on Sprint soon
by Lucian Armasu on Jul 27, 2012 with 2 Comments
We haven’t seen many phones with QWERTY keyboards lately, and I know a
lot of people still want them, provided they offer some decent specs and
the latest version of Android. Motorola is trying to aim for that here
with the Photon Q, a LTE phone with a QWERTY keyboard and Android 4.0,
which is not exactly the latest version of Android, but close enough.
The phone comes with a dual core 1.5 Ghz processor (most likely the S4),
an 8MP camera, NFC, a 4.3″ “Color Boost” display, which I assume has an
HD resolution, although at this 4.3″ size it’s possible Motorola went
with qHD. The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is supposed to be a “world
phone”, so even though it’s on Sprint, and it uses its LTE network, it
should work with GSM carriers from other countries without problems.
The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is obviously the successor to last year’s
Photon 4G, and even the shape seems similar. The main difference is that
it will have a physical QWERTY keyboard, while the Photon 4G didn’t have
one. One other big advantage of the new Photon is that Motorola has
apparently figured out the locked bootloaders mess, and it has
supposedly found a much better way to lock its bootloader, while also
making it easy for developers to unlock it.
This might be the second time I notice a big influence from Google, the
first one being after Moto started using a very stock-like Android user
interface. Hopefully, we’ll see more such positive news in the future.
Maybe in the future we won’t even have to use “4G LTE” after every
single phone’s name. Anything is possible.
Pricing and availability of this phone will be announced “in the next
few weeks”.
