Unfortunately this is the "best" QWERTY offering by Sprint (and there are many other sliders on the market).
PROS - best QWERTY Keyboard of all sliders, decent CPU/GPU, easily unlockable bootloader
CONS - display not 720p, not greatest vidcam/camera, non-removable power cell (battery), inadequate HDD (internal storage), locked-in SIM (world phone modem), may have network stack glitch (Net 67 Auth IP Error), ICS 4.04 (yet to be upgraded to current version)
This isn't a top-end device as it should have been yet is a good decent qwerty slider smartphone. The CPU and GPU are topnotch for 2012 U.S. market device and once unlocked performs well. Just wish Moto would have given it a 720p display, 32gig HDD and better photographic capabilities. Sprint qwerty users waited and waited for topend device and got the Photon Q.
Overall a 6-7 out of 10. If. Motorola would produce an upgraded version for 2013 to include non-U.S. models they'd have a great selling niche device. "Niche" in that OEMs and carriers seemed to have decided the virtual keyboard was "best" for all. Mobile Warriors still await an OEM to market a true. Cutting edge top-end QWERTY Kb smartphone.

Lj, 07 Dec 2012Plssss let me know if this will accept other sim cardsfrom what I know this phone doesn't have a sim cards slot. It has only embedded sim card. On XDA there is a tutorial on how to unsolder it.

"Non-removable battery"; no reason for it and no bueno. Liking this phone more than the "Samsung Galaxy S Relay" but the non-removable battery is a deal-breaker. I need the option to pop in a spare battery. I'm going with samsung!

Any ideas where I can buy this and if it will work in the UK? Tried Panamoz, Play, Amazon and eBay and nothing, don't want to get it from a US site incase there's a massive import charge. Is there a way of finding out if it'll be released in Europe?
