I got the Photon. It's supposed to arrive Oct 8.

My reasoning is that I can use it for my iPad, my PS Vita, and my iPhone if I need faster data when the hated AT&T is throttling me.

Even if you don't use much data this isn't a good deal IMO. Problem is with iPhone you already are forced to pay for a data plan so you end up paying twice unless you unlock and go with a different carrier in which case you might as well do Straight Talk for $45, voice/txt/data

Hope it works, but history hasn't been kind to these types of ventures. Plus, if I heard correctly, they're using Sprint's 4G network and that might not work well enough for a lot of people.

I'd like to try it if it would firmly register as an extended middle finger to the Big Two carriers.
