Review thread for Moment

[prot0type]

In anticipation of the next Sprint entry into the world of Android and considering I'm somewhat on the fence of keeping my Hero or going to a Moment instead, I'll post any reviews that I may come across. Feel free to contribute as well.

Here is Mobile Burn's review of the Moment

I find it funny that if it just runs vanilla Android they consider it plain and boring. Isn't the point of this OS to be able to customize the look and feel to your own needs? God forbid it doesn't have Sense, Wiz or what not.

Though the Moment doesn't have Multi Touch, and I'm not sure how important that really is as I don't really use it on my Hero. Knowing that there's a third Droid phone on the horizon I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Thankfully we have multiple lines and some with dumbphones they'll use for a few years so I can upgrade one of them to get it. So I'm not sure what I'll do come Nov 1. Would live to have a hard keyboard though. And coming from vertical qwerty thumb boards, even if the keys are too rubbery, it'll still be a blessing.

Someone needs to tell me how to make the links nice and neat. Thought it was something universal amongst forum sites, but apparently it's not. I put the link in quotes and it still doesn't work.

Use the following format with spaces removed before and after the url below:

Cover flaps on the headphone jack and the USB port? Sometimes the space button doesn't register if you hit it directly in the middle? Wow. That's all I needed to hear. Keeping the Hero for sure unless webOS 5.0 comes out in the next 2 weeks with a drastically improved calendar.

Engadget review is up.

So far, at least until I get to try one out, I may hold out for another qwerty pad Android device. I should be eligible for a full upgrade in march so we'll see what's released between now and then.

SlashGear review is up. More of the same really, however they have a nice gallery which also includes a side by side with the Hero.
