A few questions before I buy

[rcs8104]

I currently have an epic but am considering purchasing the photon. I have a couple of questions.
1. For those that have an exchange account on there phone what has the experience been like. I have a problem with my epic that when I reply to an email on exchange it has garbage inbeded in the message and it makes it hard to read the message. Does this seem to happen with the photon.
2. I noticed some have had audio problems when making or receiving phone calls and are forced to do a reboot. Is this happening to everyone or just a select few.
3. I also notice there has been bluetooth connection issues again is this just a few phones or is everyone having this problem.

I appreciate any feedback to my questions as I really want to get this phone but I can't afford to not receive calls as I am dependent on the phone for my work.

I had an epic, and while not an exchange user, it has a corporate account you can set up....in fact go to sprint.com and watch the video on it....all the accts you can add with 1 click (instead of tracking the crap down) is awesome...


I love this phone TONS better then the epic....only issue i have found is the WIFI seems weaker...and the volume on streaming music through my bluetooth, is a bit weird..

other then that fannnntastic

There is a leaked Maintenance Release that addresses this - there's a thread elsewhere that mentions this and gives a link. Hopefully Moto will publicly release it soon.

I have both of the issues but they seem to be sporadic and do not effect all of the phones. I'll probably exchange it for a new one over the weekend and hopefully that will take care of it. Other than those annoying issues it's a great phone.

I have an exchange account and the Photon performs flawlessly. The setup is easy - works like a charm.

I have no audio issues.

I've had no audio issues after my first full day.

No audio issues here at all either. Haven't tried everything yet, but so far really good with the audio quality.

1. The exchange client seems to work fine. However, I still think it's worth paying the $20 to get Touchdown instead because of all the extra settings, widgets and interface. I also tried Moxier but couldn't live with their awkward and convoluted method of multiple-selecting messages. Haven't tried Roadsync or EnhancedEmail.

2. Haven't experienced that personally.

3. Haven't tried messing with bluetooth yet.
