the samsung moment and the motorola droid are kinda hard to compare but i’ll give it a try. the samsung moment has a 800 mghz arm 11(old style) processor.the droid has a 550 mghz cortex 8 processor(newer faster technology) cortex 8 processors are about 40 percent faster than an arm 11 at the same clock speed. this all means that probably the processors are about the same speed except the droid processor is probably better on battery life. the moment has a 3.2inch AMOLED displaym at 320X480 resolution which will be better on the battery than the droids 3.7 inch TFT display at 480 x 854 resolution but will probably be alot less viewable in direct sunlight and has alot less resolution.the droid has more ram which may come in handy when android adds flash 10.1. the keyboard on the moment is way better (personal opinion)but the droid is thinner and the slider mechanism feels more sturdy (although the moment feels like a well built phone as well).the moment call clarity and volume are fantastic i won’t talk about call quality because thats carrier specific.the interface on the drid seems alot faster but alot of that is due to optimizations made to android 2.the moment runs android 1.5 or 1.6 and the droid runs android 2 but the moment will be getting an upgrade to android 2.1 after which i expect the speed and responsiveness of both devices to be very similar.
so which is better? it’s all a matter of opinion

Right the Moment does not have 2.0 it ships with 1.5 But I do understand after the OTA update is out 5 days for the Hero the Moment is to be Next. But do not think is 2.0 Understand its 1.6 But this is second had ifo .

Kevin,

The guy at the Sprint store is wrong, but that’s par for the course with most of the store employees.

Hey folks,
I was at the Sprint store last night, and the guy told me that the Moment does in fact have 2.0.

I just bought my Moment last Saturday and was falling in love with it till this Monday morning. I had a full over night charge and everything was fine. I got onto the internet once, made two 5 minute phone calls and have just been adjusting my personal settings. By mid day I was down to 15% battery life. Very disappointing. Am I doing something wrong or could I just have a bad battery? Someone please help before I trade my phone back for a different one. Is there a better way to shut down the applications?

LOL… I think it’s funny how Brad says the Droid smokes the Moment in every conceivable way… Let’s see… Droid has a 550 Mhz processor and the Moment has 800 Mhz (To put it in perspective, the iPhone 3GS runs 600 Mhz). Droid has a TFT screen and the Moment has an AMOLED screen. Not saying the Droid doesn’t have better features in its own right, but to say that it smokes a device that runs 250 Mhz faster is a bit of an exaggeration. And like others have said, wait until the Moment gets 2.0, then compare them. I don’t care about camera MPs. I have seen a 1.3 MP camera phone beat the pants off a 3.2 MP camera phone, so that number doesn’t always mean better. Anyway, just my 2 cents

I held the Hero from day one of the Hero to day one of the Moment. The hard keyboard makes a
difference. I believe the Moment is slightly faster. Also I believe the operating system upgrades should appear on the Moment prior to appearing on the Hero.

A word (or two) to Sprint. Thanks for getting off the Android fence in time. Thanks
for beating all your competition to better pricing. And thanks in advance for your future
Droid smasher. You deserve some amens from all of us.

A couple of more thoughts on the Hero. I enjoy the 7 screens and am not sure I want to go down to 3 on the Moment. The extra HTC widgets are neat, but can certainly I could live without them. The idea of getting OS updates faster on the vanilla OS is very appealing. I also can live without the social network integration. I don’t have a need to go find out what a specific person is saying on Facebook at a given moment.

I have had the Sprint Hero since it’s Best Buy release on Oct. 11th. The Sense UI is really nice, but the camera is not very good. 5-megapixels is great but having a blurry photo in 5mp is not very useful. I am also afraid the 528MHz processor is going to become too slow very quickly. I am considering taking back the Hero (30 day return policy) and getting the faster 800mhz processor Moment so my phone can better handle the new versions of Android in the near future. The amoled screen on the Moment is appealing as well.

One other comment. I really wish HTC and Samsung would upgrade the screen size to the same dimensions as the iPhone. The .5cm larger width and height does make a difference when using the touchscreen.
