The Motorola PHOTON 4G, the latest dual-core device to hit the Now Network with those fast WiMax speeds is already seeing a price drop at a few local retailers like RadioShack. It has only been out for less than 2 weeks but RadioShack is offering it for half off at just $99.99 with a new contract, nice deal huh?

Although as usual great deals like this are only for new subscribers so upgrades don’t apply to the promotion sadly. For tons of photos and a video you can see plenty more about this sweet device in our PHOTON 4G Review by Chris Burns. He even has the HD dock and car dock shown so don’t forget to click that link.

For a quick reminder the PHOTON 4G is a pretty powerful device. It has a NVIDIA tegra 2 dual-core CPU at 1 Ghz, a 4.3″ qHD high-res display, 1GB RAM, 16GB built in storage and a pretty great 8MP camera on the rear. You can’t forget that 4G WiMax and Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread are both on board too. Overall this is a great phone and at this price it’s pretty hard to beat. It’s either this or the HTC EVO 3D — you decide.
