This won't be my last Samsung or my last Android. I mean every phone has it's problems but to call the probs with this phone a "Experience" is very naive.
And here's the thing I'm laughing about with all you posting negative, you may be complaining about Samsung and not getting your update now and whatever else, I can only read so many whines before it gets dull, but you still bought the phone. I might recommend you do some real research before you go buy a shiny new toy next time. The 52 to 14 vote kinda proves the point that this is not a bad phone it's considered a positive for Samsung and Android....or the high user ratings on nearly every phone review site.....or common sense......or the fact that you're the minority on your own poll.
Anyway all my phones have been from Samsung and they've all been plenty reliable to me so I've got no reason to jump ship, my next phone will probably be a Samsung. As for Android, I really like it, but seeing as it's not much over a year old I'm not surprised by the bugs in the system, it'll get better and be beating the Iphone OS in the future though. 1.5 is what drags down the Moment cause all the hardware is more then powerful enough to make it a great phone. I've got exactly what I expected from Samy and The Moment, and I'm happy to wait for the upgrade to 2.1.
Here's the deal.
-If you had bothered to read, you would understand that nearly all of us can agree that the phone is great. The hardware is wonderful, and the software, as a smartphone, has bugs that were always expected.
-If you had bothered to read, you would understand that this poll has to do with Samsung's maintenance of the phone, and the other elements in the OP... if you had gotten that far.
-If you had bothered to read, you might understand that this is not a contest, but rather an attempt to judge where the Moment users stand. And throughout most of the vote, about 1 in 4 had been dissatisfied with Samsung's maintenance of the Moment's software.
-If you had bothered to read, you would understand that more than half of the defensive posts written have nothing to do with Samsung's maintenance of this phone, but rather, like you, went off topic and based their opinion on how all smart phones have bugs. No one disagrees with you. So why are you pointing out the painfully obvious like it's supposed to be a striking revelation?
moving on...
-Now if you account for the (approx) 50% of defensive posts being made the grounds of a total miscomprehension of the poll's purpose, and you apply that to the percentages of the voting poll, you will see that it's actually about a 50/50 split between informed voters.
Though of course, you would have picked up on this IF you had bothered to read.
-In your above post, I went ahead and italicized everything that had to do with the phone's hardware and software bugs. As I said before, that is not what this is about. Everything that is remaining in normal font is almost on topic. However by looking at it alone, no conclusions can be drawn about your opinion because it was taken completely out of context, as if you had bothered to read.
ANYWAYS. Next time you want to laugh about one side of a discussion, I suggest you read and catch up (and understand what the discussion is about) before you jump in and end up with everyone laughing at you. This is a serious discussion about Samsung's treatment of this phone. Don't try to change the discussion, keep it on topic, and stop trying to belittle others that have a different opinion.
You are more than welcome to join in on the discussion if you would like to make points on topic. In fact, I will make an outline for you.
*How long have you had your Moment handset?
*What has your experience been like in getting the update or dealing with Samsung?
*Do you believe that 3+ months is an appropriate waiting time before making the very first software patch available to the market as a whole?
*If yes, then where do you stand on the issue of other manufactures introducing their first software patches by the end of the month, or even a couple weeks after release?
*What is your opinion about Samsung's disclosure about the intended updates? Is the fact that they wouldn't even release any information about the CL14 update for months on end acceptable?
*Most of Samsung Moment owners want to get the 2.1 upgrade sooner or later, but WE ALL wanted to get the battery patched
ASAP. Do you believe that Samsung dragging their heels to fix a key issue with the phone is a completely acceptable business practice that should romance consumers into sticking around?
*Should Samsung Moment owners completely ignore those issues and continue to purchase from a deadbeat (IMO) manufacturer? Or should they make their next purchase from another company?
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Sorry.
