Sprint CEO Dan Hesse already confirmed that the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE was coming "very soon," but now we're able to affirm even more details surrounding the launch. With Sprint's LTE network finally live in select cities, employees are now undergoing training regarding the device -- something that typically means that a launch onto store shelves is imminent. Thanks to our source and the photos seen here, we've been able to confirm that the 4.3-inch superphone will ship with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1,785mAh battery (non-removable), WiFi, GPS, 3G / 4G LTE radios, 8GB of internal storage space and built-in NFC. Perhaps the most prominent feature is the five-row QWERTY keyboard, alongside the adjustable LED edge lighting. Other specs include an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera, an "HD" front-facing camera and perhaps most curiously, a skinned version of Ice Cream Sandwich that fails to mention the word "Motoblur." We're still trying to lock down an exact price and release date, and will update this post if and when those tidbits roll in.
