uhhhhh, hi there!
i didnt feel like wasting time making an introductory thread or whatever, so hi! i'm new here! glad we got that out of the way.
to make a very long story short, i'm one of the last 17 people on Helio getting effected by this: Virgin Mobile USA To Kill Their Postpaid Service (Helio) On May 25th
so, if I'm moving to Sprint, by God, I'm going to get something SLIGHTLY better than the Pantech Ocean i've been rocking 2+ years. obviously, the idea of an android device has been on my mind for quite sometime, and since I'm never ever going to own a phone that DOESNT* have physical QWERTY keyboard, it would appear rather rapidly that the Moment would be my choice (especially since I get $50 on top of that current $99 price point, so yes, a $49 dollar 800 mhz android QWERTY smartphone interests the HELL out of me)
here's where it gets tough. that * was a placemarker for one phone and one phone only: the HTC Supersonic. I just dont know if its worth my time to hold out to May because I really hate this Ocean now. Clearly, the Supersonic is pretty much as tangible as the smoke monster from LOST at this point, but still: 1ghz snapdragon, WiMax......... ugh
now here's my big second question and I might be asking it in the wrong area since it has to deal with root and re-flashing, but i think i'll ask anyway:
Say I get the Moment in a month or so. I've seen that the phone which can be rooted, which then begs my immediate next question: can I put 2.1/Sense UI on it?
i know I've read reports that 2.1 is supposed to be coming to the Moment early in Q2, but I'm just trying to get answers in case it gets massively delayed (lol like the Driod 2.1 update)
anyway, hope to be posting alot more on the forums here real soon with my 1st Green Machine
thanks for all comments!
