Just wondering if the current 2.2 software is out for the samsung moment... if so how do I get it?
No. Sprint / Samsung will most likely never release 2.2 officially for it, as it is near end of life.
Too bad it's not near it's end life cheaper price. If they can still charge max MSRP for it, they should be supporting it up and beyound it's shelf life. No wonder so many people are ROOTING these things.
The development community for this phone is incredible and amazes me everyday in one way or another but sometimes I think people give it too much credit. At this point in time imo you should be looking towards the epic or the evo. The early adopters to the moment are passing time with the amazing updates from the dev community, but it's a game of catchup. The moment will never be an epic or an evo. You can only do so much with tweaks and a few lines of code.
honestly, i'm kind of disappointed by development for the moment.i still have my g1 that tmobile decided to leave in the dust but even then, its still capable of running FROYO. im sure devs can make updated roms for this beautiful device. correct me if im over-reaching here but we just need a newer android phone with similar characteristics to the moment in order to get a dump of that phone and mod it to be capable of being a rom for our phone. (sorry if that was confusing)

You really need to do some more research before you bad mouth the new gen phones. It's about a lot more than battery life and "who cares about" 4g. Do some reading and then come back.

seems every android phone out there has froyo in one form or another (and even many windows mobile phones!)
that said, i do see your side of things... but the moment has been a problem child since release and i think they more or less put up their hands and slowly backed away from it.
The moment came out in 2005?
Seriously...
Why? Because it's 4G? And it can do what that our moments can't do? I'm sure they can suck battery life as fast as the other phone. I'm sure it can run the apps I'm running now. *Snip*
I think it was right after the Detroit Lions won their last superbowl..or was it after the Cubs last world series?

lmaoooooooooooooo wtf??? c'mon people. t-mobile came out with the first android phone called: G1. and that was in 2008. the moment i believe was sprints first android phone. where do u guys get your facts from lol. good stuff. made my day
Just to answer the couple questions here:
What can it do that our moments cant?
1. Use wi-fi and then switch back to 3g without locking up the data connection
2. Be in use for an entire day without rebooting
3. Get a GPS signal to stay locked for more than 5 minutes (my problems with this have been intermittent)
4. Run 3D games. (not really important to me, but could be a cool feature)
5. Run JIT without rebooting several times a day
6. Have a slimmer design that would fit in my pocket more easily.
7. Hold a constant, strong cell signal...mine oscillates between full bars and 1 bar constantly.
8. Have a significantly bigger screen...easier typing, better multimedia viewing
9. Better screen
10. Better camera(s)
11. Pinch zoom and other multi-touch features
Also, on the battery: It's still pretty early, but the reports I've seen make it seem like the battery on the Epic is a huge improvement over the moment. The battery on this phone has never been a selling point. I'm happy to get 12 hours out of it, if I use it very, very sparingly. That's pathetic.
I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting. Am I going to run out and spend my money on one right away? No. Would I rather have a faster phone with, from what I can tell so far, fewer bugs and more features? Yes. Would I ever recommend the moment to anyone? Hell no. I will be quite happy to finally get rid of this buggy piece of crap.
1. i dont have that problem. i dony use wifi much, but when i do it goes back to 3g with no lockup.
2. my phone is on weeks at a time with no reboots.
3. i have only ever lost GPS signal once. in the middle of the lincoln tunnel. (but i still had 3g hahaha)
4. no input. dont game on my phone.
5.i have a jit rom. (amstel 2.0) have had one reboot 20 mins after first putting this rom on and NEVER again.
6. stop wearing tight hipster jeans?
7.is just your coverage area.. i almost always have full bars
8. you want a bigger screen on THIS battery?
9. i have no problem with the AMOLED screen. is pretty.
Again, the camera isn't terrible, but there are better ones out there now.10. my pics come out fine enough. then again im no professional.
11. multi touch WOULD be nice... then i could play psdroid roms...
