Not a big Samsung fan here. I did stop and consider it for a moment, the 800mhz processor wasn't enough to sway me.
It's running basic Android so you only get 3 home screens.
I'm sticking with my plans to pick up the Hero Friday morning. The HTC Sense UI makes up for the smaller processor. Just my opinion.
Assuming by "proximity sensor" they meant "digital compass"
2. The Hero is more than a basic Goggle phone - it can handle my Exchange account without the expense of a 3rd part mail app.
The proximity sensor prevents the screen from being active while the phone is help up to your ear when on a call.
Hmm, then they don't mention that it has a digital compass. For the Hero they did mention it in the same type of spec sheet. So.. does that mean it doesn't have one? If it doesn't that's very bad.
The specs that Sprint released say that it will support Exchange mail.
Will it support Exchange contacts and calendars too?
The biggest concern I would have with the Moment would be upgrade support from Samsung.
Im under the impression that Samsung has decided not to do OTA updates for the Galaxy. Im pretty sure I read that here, so if Im wrong, please, someone correct me.
HTC is still on the fence with the OTA update although they stated they were leaning toward a PC update.
EDaze I swear I remember reading that we would get the update upon release and activation that it would be OTA
Sprint ADP
This was the forum that stated as much. Though reading it again Sprint says.
HTC Hero will ship with 1.5 but we will work on plans to support 1.6 when available from HTC for the Hero
Switch to Moment? Here's my personal tally...
Pro
800 Mhz
LED Flash
AMOLED Screen
Keyboard
5.5 hours talk versus 4.0
Con
Stock Android UI
No Sense UI or HTC Widgets
3 Home screen panels versus 7+
1.17 ounces heavier
Early hands on reports call it bulky
.14 x .12 x .09 larger
3.2mp camera
No Flash / Multi-touch until eclair
im sticking with the hero even though the amoled screen is tempting
I'm sticking with my plans to get the Sprint Hero on Friday for the following reasons:
1. The Hero is does not have a physical keyboard - I like all touch phones.
