    Should I go with VZW / Samsung Charge, or Sprint / Motorola Photon?

    I read mixed reviews about the photon and it has that same cheapass hunk-o-plastic look like the charge does... the evo looks and feels much better. Why do you say the photon is better than the evo? also, is there anyone that HAS the photon?
