Just to let you know the samsung moment is not that great currently owned both devices. I will return the moment its battery life really sucks is mostly because it can't pick up a good signal and is not on evdo all the time. I know is the phone cause th pre is on evdo 100 percent of the time. Now to the software android is buggy and I am always getting the message android needs to force close.
Multitasking on android can't even compete in that category with the pre. Not to mention most apps suck for example the pandora really sucks big time on the moment you hear garble sound all the time specially when a text message comes in and no is while it had a good 3g signal and it still does that when connected with wifi. The moment has great hardware like the qwerty keyboard and big screen but the os is definitely not that great when i have to open and close it reminds me of windows mobile it lags to put the screen in landscape mode.
All to all if the moment had web os it would be perfect but it doesn't. Maybe an update will fix it but how long is going to be for that. Now everybody has different opinions but that's what i have experience with the moment so far in 3 weeks of use. Of all the devices the pre is by far the best because of its software. Hardware wise it has some flaws like the keyboard but once you get used to it is alright and for the people that bring the cheap material excuse that's why i have the insurance with sprint i can easily swap it out unlike cough cough iphone.
To me is just funny that att even bothers on replying, their 3g network sucks plain and simple they are just making themselves look stupid. They are the second biggest wireless carrier but in terms of data their 3g can't even compete with sprint (third largest carrier) which has twice as much 3g network coverage than ATT.
Real world test have shown Sprint as the better one for data with vzw right behind them by a small marging. Sprint 3g has proven more reliable than vzw and att but not by much from vzw such as the latest real world test by pc world. It would be funny and a big blow to att if sprint came out with a similar add like verizon stating att weak 3g network.
Maybe verizon should point out in a new commercial that at least they get better signal (cdma) inside buildings and they're signal doesn't get disconnected on the elevator such as crappy gsm signal does
Scott I don't know what part of phoneix are u located but att 3g signal sucks here in the north, south, west and eastside of town I have witnessed that with my brothers htc touch pro friends iphones. Most of the time those handsets are on edge. Now edge may be faster than 1x cdma but is still slow an that sure doesn't justify the $30 dollars u have to pay for data with att. If u get a constant 3g signal here in phoenix, az I gueess u are lucky.
lol att 3g network has always sucked about time vzw actually proved it to the public. I mean who the F$@k pays $30 dollars for iphone data or any smartphone when you live in a city that either A. Doesn't have 3g coverage or B. their 3g coverage sucks so bad you only have access to 3g for about 20 percent of the time before switching back and forth between Edge and 3g.
lol what the hell??? is so easy to get a droid which i taught it was gonna be hard? Damn why did I have such a hard time buying a Samsung Moment here in Phoenix, AZ i had to buy it all the way in Chandler, AZ until two days after it came out cause they were sold out in the stores I called.
Hell yeah att is so full of caca. Thats the way this company will try to rape you my brother just canceled his service with att after 4 months with them. He was paying $75 after taxes with the minimum minutes 450 with 5,000 night an weekend minutes plus the text messaging and the insurance. Now he got a pre pays about same amount but enjoys the any mobile anytime deal with unlimited 450 and unlimited everything else. He has constant 3g signal and has the unlimited nights that start at 7:00pm. ATT will be the #3 carrier in the future with is overpriced plans, cheap network, most unreliable 3g, an soon to expire iphone exclusivity.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
