I look online and find no way to hard reset, so I return to the store and replace it with an entirely new phone. Later that day, I was curious if the same problem would happen again, and lo and behold. Stuck on the Android start up screen.

Due to my frustrations i figured this would be a horrible investment, especially since i am supposed to own this phone for two years, and gave in returning it for the hero.

HOWEVER, I still want the Moment, I liked the interface more and liked the keyboard. Was wondering if someone could explain to me why this happened TWICE with different phones. And if there was any way to avoid it. I am still in the 30 day grace period to replace it, so i need to make a decision soon.

The only thing i can think of is that I consistently downloaded apps that did not work with the moment and bricked it.

The only ones I had both times was

PandaHome,

along with some sort of task killer/manager.

Advanced Task Manager with the first phone,

and an assortment of task killers with the second phone. (I was exploring them to see which one i liked)

Is there a way around this? I thoroughly loved the moment, and want to switch back, but don't want to be concerned that its going to brick a month from now and i won't be able to return it.

Sorry for diatribe, PLEASE HELP.
