I gotta agree with some of the issues being pretty severe, but aren't alot of the problems due to 1.5 in general and the patchwork they used to make it run on CDMA?
Battery - Given the lower signal strength, the phone searches much harder for a CDMA network, which drains the battery something fierce. I get between 4 & 6 hours of pretty heavy use on a charge. This is similar to my Verizon Touch Pro 2 and Verizon BlackBerry Storm.
CDMA Lockup - Again, this has to be a 1.5 being jimmy-rigged thing... Right? Please tell me that's right... lol
Lack of Accessories - Ok, besides a hard protector case, what is there? I think Sprint forgot that they sell this phone or something - a bluetooth headset is not a 'Samsung Moment Accessory' I'm sorry. This probably isn't due to 1.5, but I thought I'd throw in some humor...
But now to the real problem: What do the new devices do that the Moment doesn't?
Consistent connections: We have no idea how the Evo will do, nor the N1, or any other device that is in the pipeline. The Moment did great in testing, but as you can see, it's not doing so hot in real life.
Processor speed: Come on, switching from portrait to landscape makes Slacker or Rhapsody skip? Seriously? I thought this was faster than the Droid? Guess not...
AMOLED Screen: Blue, what the heck? Is the Evo going to be better? Looks like it in the video, but how bad does that battery get chewed up running HQ Youtube for 4 hours a day...
Battery: They've already stated that WiMAX takes less power to run than EVDO. Issue - it doesn't work indoors... Rut roh! Does that mean endless searching or a quick reset down to 1xRTT?
Now it's easy for us to sit back and beat the Moment to a pulp, but it's really not as bad as it seems. My Moto Q underperformed 1000x worse than this thing (45 minute battery life, poor screen, bad keyboard, etc...) and the BlackBerry Storm barely made phone calls some days.
By the time the Evo hits (Juneish?) we should hear about new Sammy devices, HTC devices and possibly a few others - LG? I bet the Evo will look good right up until someone announces the 1.2/1.5 Snapdragon chip in their new device coming in November. Then the early 2011 upgraders will have a great choice on their hands!
