Help Video Teardown of Photon 4G

[PyroSporker]

Came across a video teardown of the Photon and I thought I would share it with all you MoPhos
I love seeing the inner workings of expensive technology, and I'm sure alot of you do too.

Do yourself a huge favor and mute the audio right after you start the video. Unless of course you like bad dance music, in that case then have a ball.
MUTE ME PLEASE

Atrix Teardown by iFixit - day after launch
Droid Bionic teardown by iFixit - day after launch
Photon 4G teardown by iFixit - still not up

Why is there no iFixit teardown yet? Is there something hidden inside the Photon?

Interesting. Does iFixit have a history of withholding teardowns at the manufacturer's request?

I'm sure it's all about phones with hype/popularity associated with them. I'm sure the Galaxy S2 will get a teardown within 24 hours of it's release if not sooner. With the google money machine behind them now I'm sure moto's future phone releases will get the appropriate amount of publicity.

Droid X and Droid X2 teardowns still aren't up.

Can someone point me or upload the link to the Atrix, Bionic ones? i went to the ifixit website and for the life of me can't find them.

Edlex hit the nail on the head. They seem to only teardown and do a detailed guide for the hottest phones of the season. Usually the ones with the most publicity and media buzz behind them.

I had hoped for a long while for an Evo 3D teardown from them (they did the EVO 4G when it released) but much to my dismay I found a link to their forum where one of the employees stated that they probably wouldn't do a teardown for the 3D. Maybe someone can ask if they will do the Photon 4G and get a definitive answer? Although, since they haven't done one right out of the gate near release I'm gonna guess they probably won't do one.
