Motorola aiming to upgrade all possible devices to Jelly Bean, promises to give you $100 credit if it can't - Engadget
I was just going to edit that post to say that would be great if they were coming out w/ new phones for Sprint. Unfortunately all we're hearing from Sprint's end of things is crickets!From what I understand, that's only if you buy one of the three new phones they announced today, which are all Verizon exclusives. It doesn't do much for us.

So... Does anybody here think that we might get bumped all the way to JB instead of just ICS?
The Photon was scheduled to get its ICS update in Q4. Are they going directly to JB? That would be awesome, but I'm honestly not holding my breath at this point. Taking a year to release the next version of the OS is ridiculous, and even more so when that version isn't even the latest one. I love my Photon too, and plan on keeping it even after I upgrade (whenever that is), but I've come to accept that it will be a GB phone only unless I unlock its bootloader.
My next phone will almost certainly *not* be a Motorola. They've just broken my heart one too many times (lack of push for the Photon, the laughable successor to the Photon, new phones all Verizon exclusive, terrible update schedule, etc.)
I would think now that Google is in control, the carrier scope would widen..... Let's hope. Photon Q looked great until that slider peeked out.....
Maybe I'll come back to Moto once the Google influence is strong enough to show, but for now I just can't see myself buying another one. A shame, too, because the Photon really is a fantastic phone.

As much as I have enjoyed my MoPho, as soon as Miami gets LTE, my MoPho days are over so whether I get IC or JB is mostly irrelevent at this point. As far as exclusives are concerned its all about money and who is willing to pay for it. If you want sprint to keep being the less expensive option then you have to be patient and get the phones after the exclusivity runs out. I hate to wait too but I don't want to pay an extra $100 a month just to be the first. That razr maxx hd looks sweet though!

with a little bit of work, a decent internet connection, and about 12 hours time i was able to get a photon 4g from sprint onto verizons network... wouldnt the reverse be possible as well? Id buy the one from verizon and program it onto sprints network. >.<
