Full FeedAndroid’s attack: Sprint’s hot Samsung Moment
Android is finally getting the attention a major mobile phone OS deserves. Today, named among the ranks of Android phones is Samsung Moment, a slider form factor that is due to hit the Sprint network at just $149 due November 1. The phone adds to the argument that users don’t want skinned Android phones.
The Moment (formerly the InstinctQ) packs “an 800MHz processor, a 3.2-inch AMOLED screen, optical trackpad and a 3.2 megapixel camera.” Sprint dropped both the Instinct brand as well as any kind of skin over the OS instead deciding to go with a Google-on-board message. This is Samsung’s first Android offering in the US.
The InstinctQ was rumored to be a high end offering of the Instinct and the Moment doesn’t disappoint in features: Android apps, GPS, bright screen, accelerometer and WiFi. Memory can go up to 32GB via SD slot.
The $179 price is after $100 mail in rebate and $50 instant savings.

The on-screen keyboard is sluggish, it has fewer apps some of which are bugged (!) and it is hard to find reviews of them. Also, Androids’ music app is damn lousy (solvable, yet annoying). I’m very discontent with Android!
The Android is a loser. As with all of these new gen touch phones (damn you Apple for starting this ########), the magic 8 ball works great, the star wars saber works great, the phart app works great even the traffic works great. too bad the phone and the contact list and the keyboard and the exchange sych and the voice activation app and the processor speed - in short, everything you want and need a ####### phone for - doesn’t work. Bought it Thursday. Returning it tomorrow. Why won’t Blackberry abandon it’s proprietary OS/server and work with exchange? It’s the best phone in the world - and so many of us are forced to piss around with toy touch screen phones instead. Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
