sanju_barc 51 Report post Posted August 24, 2012 I have both with me. Specs wise photon is better. But camera of design is far ahead from photon. In compare to 5mp of design, photon with 8 mp stands nowhere. Screen of design is amoled which is much better than pentile screen of photon. The areas where design lags is screen size and processor. But if u consider camera and screen is more imp go for design for sure. If u ask me, personally I will opt design. Rest is ur choice.

In this case specs of photon is very tempting.. Dual core and 1gb ram.... thanks guys for your input... I M going for photon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meaning checking balances through short codes like *123# etc etc won't work 2. Bootloader is locked. So if you're someone who likes to experiment with different ROMs then this is not the phone for you. Yes, you can unlock the bootloader but still other phones come with unlocked bootloaders thereby minimising chances of bricking your phone while unlocking.

Yes, it is OK for postpaid connections only (I used Photon last year)... If your number is prepaid, please forgot Photon... 2. Latest firmware version (which makes recording 1080p videos on Photon's camera) makes Photon's bootloader UnLockable... If the phone comes with old firmware (or 1080p video recording option is absent), unlocking BL is still possible... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted August 25, 2012 USSD is working good in Droid Razr.. I am using one.. Since you are not too keen on custom ROM and such activities, its locked bootloader will not be an issue for you, imho Further Parin ji has like new Razr in your budget. My suggestion is go for Razr and you will never regret it. Sent from my MB612 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
