  • I want to buy this phone guys but do you recomend ebay ???!!! please andswer thank you :-D

  • Hate this phone!!! The text msgs do not work right. Like if I get an animate txt msg the has movement~it does not move. This phones battery life is horrible. I am very frusterated with this phone for many reasons.

  • i loveee this phone(: dosent have great battery life but it lasts me the whole day and i just charge it at night

  • i have that phone : }

  • Horrible phone. Don't get it unless if you want to carry your charger everywhere you go.

  • @R0ck0fL0v3 A MEN i have this phone also its okay i like it but it dies so fast!

  • Nice phone I fin to get dis

  • should i get the moment or Intercept?

  • Does anyone know how easy this phone breaks? And how is the texting? And is the battery life? Also is the touchscreen sensitive?

  • @ 430BobCat no sprint will not let you buy it with out getting a data plan plus it is a really cool phone considering all the apps on the droid market totally sweet phone

  • U and joni blecher have the best reviews

  • great fone battery life is good if you get the advanced task killer app which will kill all your apps and save battery. i can use phone all day and play with apps all day amd imternet and it will not need charging.

  • Ive had it like 1 week and I love this machine

  • does it support multi-tasking?

  • I love that phone...I have one lol

  • i feel that samsng fones are really laggy like how you would slide it out and you would have to wait a second for it to change positions or screens

  • its a good phone. there is just a few things i would like to change.

    a. if i want a custom ringtone that i download for my text messages(notifications) i would like to be able to turn the sound off if i press a button not let it sit and keep playing till its done.

    b. i would like to find out if there is a vibrate mode for students who are in class and cant have sound on.

    other than that so far i love this phone.

  • I'm wanting this phone. we might switch to Sprint. It's a good chance we will but imma get this phone if I can.

  • I love this phone, the battery life of mine is awesome.... like donomar said get the app task killer.... it really does help the battery

  • i was going to get the droid at bestbuy but verizon wanted 400 dollars for a deposit, so instead i got the moment. i think it's just as good as the droid...just not as cool looking though. It works though. feels nice.

  • dude the droid is on verizon the moment is on sprint u couldnt of got the droid

  • other than this is about 3x slower with 3x less pixels/less screen space

  • LoL I have the Touch Pro 2 and was going to trade it for the Moment and like 100 bucks.... Is it worth it for me? Im just tired of the TP2 and sprint is NEVER gonna release 6.5

  • is this better than the hero?im not sure what to order?

  • i just bought this phone and its great. for everyone that says the battery life "sucks" its because u need to download an app called "task killer". this app stops all the items running in the background whick drains your battery life. overall great phone

  • GREAT REVIEW!!! If i get this phone and do not get the monthly internet will it be a bad phone? I really just want it for texting.... I guess... is it a good phone for that? Thanks and really nice review

  • It's a great phone indeed. Don't know if Sprint will let you buy it at the contract price without a data plan though. The phone has Wi-Fi which you can use to access the Web.

  • Oh ok thank so much! So if i want to go to the android store i can get apps with out the internet plan? Yes i know i would buy it with a calling and texting plan. Thanks so much! i have ask tons of people and you are the only one who has answered! THANKS SO MUCH

  • @430BobCat I have this phone. Sprint won't let you buy it at the contract price without a data plan. But if you only want to text, this phone would be overkill.

  • @herbertportillo1 thanks but i got this phone like 2 months ago! LOL but yea i got it and love it! i love being able to Google search when ever i want!! I think the internet is well worth it!! thanks anyway!

  • you have to get the monthly internet it is required

  • @430BobCat you should get internet it makes the phone better.. trust me it may cost extra but its worth it

  • phone sucks battery drains quick

  • I was going to say scew print until this phone came out good job

  • just got it!  luv it!

  • @jkzj2000 do u recommend it??

  • @ jkzj2000 lucky! i want this phone soooo bad but i have to wait til my birthday :(

  • Damn thats my baby lol im gettin mines this month a soon as my birthday hit

  • i am want this phone!!!!!

  • can you update this phone to android 2.1?

  • How Much Is this With an upgrade ?

  • $179

  • i said with an upgrade like you know how they give you a discountwhen you have an upgrade

  • @jeremiah1333 And thats what I said the price of. Didn't you listen to the end of the video? With the discounts when you upgrade, its $179. Don't believe me, get your lazy ass off youtube and look it up for yourself.

  • Listen Bitch i never said anything rude to you all i did was Ask you and you dont know shit about me, do you know how many times i looked that shit up ; i just was not sure that it was 179 So Really calm Your Hoe ass Down .

  • @Chingirl94 $179 after mail-in rebate

  • PLZ HELP!!! My moment keeps cuttinq off and I have 2 take the battery out and put it back in just to power it back on..Ive takin back 1 already and now my new 1 is doinq the same thing..wats wronq? Is it the apps or the phone?

  • I heard that the battery has been draining fast, but I found out a way to reduce it. If you haven't, download "Quick Settings" from Android market to manage any un used apps and lower the brightness. From end of the day my batt life is at 80%. Give it a try.

  • so ifr ur upgrading from a rant to that phone, would it be $179.99 with a 2yr contract?

  • haha im with verizon and switching because they still want me to pay 60$ a line to cancel the contract and its up in a fucking day lol i want the intrepid but probably going to get this phone

  • I wonder if there is any way to break the contract that I currently have to get this phone earlier. I doubt it but if anyone knows anything I'd appreciate the help.

  • Comment removed

  • @niagrakrud2 easily... if u got around a month or less, just ask them if you can get a new phone early. if they say no, just pretend like you are about 2 cancell your account n get them 2 send u 2 the cancel service ppl. then tell them if you dont get your new phone (however many days/weeks/months) early, then you want 2 cancel your service... hell give you the phone... i do that every 2 years lol

  • lol my friend thinks im stuck up... hes a dumbass.... he says that the HTC Hero is waaaay better than this phone....

  • Haha you should teach him the difference between a 528Mhz processor and an 800Mhz processor.

    Not to mention the Moment has Flash for it's camera and a Proximity Sensor.... the Hero missed these basic features. Oh and Moment's AMOLED screen is far superior.

    The only thing the Hero has going for it over the Moment is it's Sense UI.... but that's over-rated.

  • they both work the same my dad has the htc and i have this one i like both

  • It still sucks.

    Processor isn't a significant reason for how fast a phone runs.

    Its the software optimizations.

  • I'll be getting this phone in tomorrow (they were out at the store) the first thing I'm going to try is to teather this... so samuraishinobi, I'll msg you how it goes.

  • Does anyone know if you can teather this phone? Like To use it like a router to connect to internet in case there are no hot spots..

  • its a smartphone............... u should have paid for internet............. me, my sis, and my mom got the moment with access to everything: nav, internet, apps, and other crap like that...

  • ok like im getting this phone tomorrow and im totally siked, and im a major texter. would this be a good phone for me or not?

  • hell yea

  • so whats bad about it, other than battery life?

  • i got the droid this phone dont have a chance to even compare to the droid

  • so far so good, then?

  • I have this phone myself its pretty dope, but does have issues with the battery. It seems everyone that has this phone has the same issues just google it, Seems like you have to turn off a lot of things to keep the battery life going

  • can you rearrange or delete shortcuts on the main display screen?

  • I'm just dragging and dropping them into the recycling bin from the main screen, but I'm still trying to figure out how to delete it permanently.

  • okaaay thankss. and another thing is that.. does the google menu bar have to be on the display screen too at all times or is that a setting too.??

  • Yeah it's just a setting too. You can drag and drop that into the garbage bin. If you need to search just use the search button on the Keyboard on the top left. I took it off because it was blocking the background pic. That and it just takes up a lot of space.

  • thanks;;

  • okaay i have a question;; you know how on the main screeen- there are shortcutss. can you rearrange the shortcut or even delete some?? im debating between this phone and the instinct hd. i can't decide!

  • I just bought this phone and so far so good. Pretty fast when surfing the net. I've been hearing a lot about the battery being to low. Well when you think about it, with a lot of applications going and the web surfing, of course the battery is going to drain out quick. Again it's fast so I just check my email and myspace or anything on the we quick and then screen save it to save the battery. It''ll last you the whole day. Keyboards kinda award but you'll get use to it.

  • The battery is a big concern for people, me included. So I did some research and was able to find some relief. The first major thing was to make sure bluetooth, wifi, and GPS was turned off if not in use. if you are a smartphone/android novice like me, then you can go into Android marketplace and download "quick settings" . This makes it super easy to turn these things off/on with one click.

  • The second, most helpful tip I found was to totally deplete your phone's battery. To the point where it will no longer stay on. Then charge it fully. I did this twice and saw a MAJOR difference in the battery life. Something about calibrating the battery so that 0%=0%. I hope this helps you guys and enjoy your kick ass phone!! ;-)

  • I've been experimenting with it just to see how long it can last. I am happy to say that it will last you the whole day. Like you said, just be sure to turn off all applications and screen save your phone. My concern was that I would would have to constantly charge it through out the day, but luckily I don't have to.

    Do you know if they have any gears to protect it from scratches? I've been researching, but no luck.

  • ebay just ordered some

  • hey...i'm planning on getting this phone next month for an upgrade or whatever and i've been watching video on it and stuff but i have on question..does this phone have a twitter app like that of the HTC HERO?

  • its an android phone of course it will have one...

  • its an android phone so it should have all the socal network apps pre loaded if not you can go the app in the android market.

  • Well You Choose if you like a full keyboard then the moment but if you want all out touch then go for the hero, i personally traded the hero for the moment because of the keyboard, the pricing is the same but you get more with the moment. but thats just me. the apps are the same and really the only difference if the keyboard, like i said earlier. Hope You Choose The Right Phone ~Joey

  • I Have the same problem!! Moment or Hero??!! It is so hard!!

  • Same Here!!!

  • when is your full review available to watch?

  • We've published a full written review of the Samsung Moment. Head over to MobileTechReview web site to read the full review.

  • this or hero!?

  • haha thats my same problem.

  • this,the hero has no keyboard,and has no amoled screen or super processor,

  • I WNT THIS FONE SO BADD

  • i want this

  • I justt got this phone today :)

    so happy

  • These Android phones are real cool, but the fact that the OS is open source and is distributed for free that you can even load the OS on your own computer makes it pretty, umm, Linux like? Actually, nevermind, this is very beneficial, now that I think of it. My question, to get an Android phone, do you need to get a separate monthly plan for it like the Blackberry and iPhone? Or is it considered a normal phone?

  • yea u do, att just started that shit too. btw android is based on the linux kernel

  • does it give you the option to text with the touchscreen? how long is the battery life?

  • Stay tuned. We have an in-depth review in the coming days.

  • yes besides the keyboard u can text on the screen in landscape or portrait wouldnt recommend it tho unless its a quick text

  • @gamerexpertman2

    crappy battery life for all smartphones becuase it runs applications in the background and the internet

  • Please reply to the Questiion!!!

    Are the keys hard or are they like a rubbery feeling???

  • rubbery but they click

  • Um is this multitask ?It does not appear to be...and what is up with these so called new smart phones not being able to do correct 3 way calling or simple crap like receiving/playing a gif image in a text ?

  • it does multitask. and very well, it has a 800mhz processor

  • android multitasking isz...wack....its not real multitasking like the pre...when the cards are actually still running...android is more like...."last used apps"...to me its more like iphone than pre...you still kinda doing 1 thing at a time

  • Dammit is there a way I can get this.I upgraded to the palm pre on the 31st of September so my 30 days of trying it all will end before the 1st...Thinks to myself.Wonder if i turn in the phone will i still be eligible for a upgrade

  • Is it multi touch?

  • nope

  • Android doest have multi-touch beyond the HTC HERO but the new version 2.0....

    So all android multi touch have since in December:)

  • im throwin my pal pre away and getting this

  • capacitive

  • resistive or capacitive touch

  • 1. Is the screen glass?

    2. Did the sliding feel solid, does it lock when you slide up or just stop eventually when slid up?

  • The sliding keyboard feels solid and locks when it's opened all the way.

  • The one thing I hate about Android phones is how they always have so many buttons under the screen and how you need to use them to get around, but Samsung made them into touch buttons and made them higher when compared to a Hero, who's back button is very low from the screen, which fixes my complaint.

    This is such a beautiful phone. I always said I'd wait to go to Android (3.5 or bigger screen please) but it's so nice!!!!!

  • Which is better to have? This or the Hero??

  • Ugh Should I get the Hero or the Moment?

  • Thats what I am saying. Im so confused and also when we get either one then a newer nicer phone will come out then we will get mad.

  • Samsung has better screen and processor but the Sense UI is a lot better, give me this screen and processor on the HERO and I'm good or I guess put Sense UI on this phone and that could work too.

  • are you stupid? lol get the hero! all that this has that the hero doesn't is camera flash and a hardware keyboard

  • Well I have big hands so I am going to try out the Hero and if I can't get used to the onscreen keyboard I will get the Moment

  • It also has a 24bit amoled display compared to an 18bit. and a 800mh processor compared to a 550mh on the hero. The hero is a good phone, and Sense UI is awesome, but Sense UI is a rescource hog and with a slower processor the moment will always be much faster.

  • no this was code mamed instinct q

  • LMAO ur user name is funny. but thanx

  • like i know its tha moment but like tha motorola cliq, they had it as the motoroal morrison for a while. so i was jwin if this was called the bigfoot b4 the moment

  • it was called instint q

  • Is this the samung bigfoot? mobile tech please reply

  • is it resistive?
