Any tips on where I could get a resonible deal on a Samsung Moment phone? I just renewed with Sprint the other night, have the Everything Data Package, and really like the looks of the Moment. However, I do not like the price, $179.99, for existing Sprint customers of course ($99.99 for new customers). Anyone know of a better “deal” than the $179.99 price?

I’m pretty sure I saw in a Sprint tour on YouTube that it does have the visual voicemail. Might have been:

Some specs on the memory etc are available here:

Does it have Visual Voicemail (like Instinct and iPhone) or do you have to call in to check your voicemail?

Has anyone found out how much internal storage the Moment has? If it’s significantly more than my Hero’s available ~140mb I may have to switch.

This will be a really nice fallback if the droid pricing is unreasonable and the calgary can’t fill the gap in a timely manner. I’d rather go with sprint anyways considering all carriers have solid coverage in my metro area…and what you can get for the money.

See, now this is the phone that I want to see on T-mobile.

I’ve got a G1, and it’s good enough. It also cost a fortune and I’m not upgrading it without a good jump in specs (processor/memory/screen size/battery life). I also really really like the keyboard (and dislike the onscreen one), so the slide out keyboard is a must.

The CLIQ just doesn’t do it for me. Nicer battery, sure, and it’s a prettier phone, but the rest of it is just nominally better if at all.

The droid looks like a much better phone, obviously, but I’ve never liked Motorola hardware. Numerous phone failures, bugs, bad builds, etc. I’m optimistic about it, though.

But this? This one? This is the phone that I want. If this were on T-Mobile, I’d be strongly inclined to upgrade my G1 immediately. As is, I’ll continue to wait and see.

it looks decent, but I’m still trying to determine if the screen is glass like the hero or soft like the g1 / mytouch
