Talking about the best and most intuitive Android phone coming with sliding QWERTY keyboard, Motorola Photon Q 4G is the best product so far. The phone comes equipped with custom Motorola Android 4.0 ICS UI, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 LE + EDR and of course 4.3″ qHD (960 x 540) non-PenTile TFT toucscreen display plus side-sliding keypad.
