Motorola Photon 4G

Now here’s a phone with a more practical (and useful) gimmick. Motorola’s Photon 4G is one of the first phones that actually support WiMAX, powered by a 1 GHz dual-core Tegra 2 chipset. The display for this thing comes at a 4.3-inch qHD capacitive screen at 540 x 960 resolution. From the get go, it is clear that this phone is built for connectivity with its 8 radios — WiMAX, CDMA / EV-DO, GSM / EDGE (quadband), UMTS / HSPA (tri-band 850/1,900/2,100MHz), WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, GPS / AGPS and FM. You can then use those connection options (don’t know about the FM though) to send pictures captured by its 8 MP camera which can record 720p videos with 1080p output capability with its built-in HDMI output. All of these coupled with an impressive battery life, this is one phone you’d want to consider getting your hands with.
