I cannot wait until February to get my upgrade. I can be touching the screen and it turns off, battery life is very small, freezes, turns itself off mid application, force close all the time...I could go on and on....I am in the Sprint Store at least once a month, which is rediculous. I could see once or twice in a year, but once or twice a month is not acceptable. My mom has the moment also and we experience the same problems. Do not buy the Moment...I like the Epic but it scares me to get another Samsung, so I will have to read reviews between the Epic and Evo or maybe there will be something else in February.

I bought it right when it came out. I am VERY impatient when it comes to phones, I like to do multiple things on it at once. This phone WILL NEVER let me answer an incoming call. I am on my 4th Moment, and every one is the same. I just tell everybody my phone is a POS email or text only. I have tried a lot of different task killers and kill it frequently. My battery lasts 4 hours max!! I have to carry a charger wherever I go (that is NO JOKE). It also freezes randomly and shuts off... then takes 10 minutes to reboot! Also, it RANDOMLY calls people!! Not on my call log, just random in my phone book! People I have not talked to in YEARS have received calls from me and it has called people at midnight on a work night. The camera takes nice photos (once you hold the button forever and people quit smiling). I have HIDEOUS service with this phone too... everybody else can have full bars and I can have 1. SIGH...

Sampled various phones. Favorite was my Treo 655 and 755P. Replaced TREO with the Moment. MISTAKE!!! I had the 800W treo all of 27 days and returned it due to bad battery life. Not because it was running the windows OS as it was great, but the battery.. I need a phone to last longer when it's not in use. My Moment is the F450 superduty of phones. It gets 3mpg just sitting in the drive way. Other then the unexplained shutdowns, lagging when it tries to do 2 things a once (gets confused I guess) and the REALLY BAD battery life, it love it's great screen and camera. Did I mention I've had it replaced once due to the shutdowns? So, it's not really a phone if it can't stay up under it's own power without having to remove the battery to reboot it. So, I guess I have earned the right after had worked for the company for 10 years is THIS PHONE SUCKS!!! I'm going back for my 2nd replacement, I'll go back for a 3rd, 4th, 5th till they offer me a replacement with something that's reliable. I'll even settle for a crack berry. Or, they can refund my money (past 90 days here) and I'll go back to my treo. Rant off. Worked for Sprint for 10 years. Sampled various phones. Favorite was my Treo 655 and 755P.

No love or hate, it's a phone, can deal with the qwirks. Just wish the phone numbers in the contacts were larger font. Would also like to have seperate call logs for incoming, out going. At one point it stopped charging and I was given a new one, but it took 9 days to get it and no loaner phone. There should be a back plan in place for something that we rely on so much.

I usually run my GPS and Bluetooth, but doing this my phone barely makes it 5 hours without the battery going completely dead. Turning the GPS, Bluetooth off, and getting rid of my weather app helps a little. It's like I have to carry a second battery just to make it through the day!

Obviously they will have their issues..... I work at Radioshack and sell sprint, att and t-mobile. I have customers return phones because of ignorance more often than phone issues. I had one customer return 3 different touch screen phones, one htc, one samsung and one lg. All for different touch screen issues,and complaining that they hate sprint and will never use sprint again because the phones suck......Last time i checked the touch screen is made by the cell phone manufacturer, not the carrier. This brings me back to ignorance. Buy a damn flip phone if you will complain about every other phone out there.... Can all of you please just stop expecting cell phones to be perfect?

The worst part is that after my 2nd I called sprint and he told me to try all of this upgrade crap and if that didnt work in a few days to go to my sprint store for service and when i did that I had the phone 33 days so they gave me a reconditioned phone which still sucked and it was scratched up and looked like crap. The phone still freezes, forces close, drops calls or calls on its own and after about 3 hours of it sitting on my desk not even in use I pick it up and it says I only have 15% battery left. It is the worst phone I have ever had and sprint has my money so they dont care. I have had my moment since 12/22 and I an on my fourth phone and it is not getting any better.

Sprint has just released a software update from android 1.5 to android 1.6. The update has addressed issues to the Moment including: Battery Life ( shutting down background running apps and rendering of battery draw ), GPS ( fixed the problem of no reception or off target reception indoors ), among a few others. I find the new update has rounded off an overall well performing phone. My only complaint is video playback ( from on-phone mpg's or youtube ) is never full screen like on my friend's palm pre ) and the keys on the physical keypad need to be raised a bit..

I used to have the Blackberry Curve, and really liked the phone, but I broke the screen. Cheaper to renew my contract and get a new phone. The Hero was more money than the Moment, and I thought it would be a good upgrade. Needless to say, it was one of the worst phones I have ever seen. The android operating system was super slow. I missed calls because to took the phone too long to respond. I pulled the battery, and reset the phone several times. (Who wants to do that all the time?) I've only had my Moment for 4 hours, but WOW what a huge difference. It is very fast to respond, the touch screen is actually accurate, (Hero was horrible). I'm very pleased with what I have seen so far! The battery life can't possibly be worse than the Hero. The phone is a bit bigger, but is actually easier to handle because of the larger size.

I did condition the battery, download advanced task killer, keep my GPS,Bluetooth, and WIFI off at all times and the phone after a few text messages was down to 15% battery... Within minutes of that my phone battery died. The phone had only been off the charger for literally 4 hours. I know my unit is defective, however Sprint is in denial that the moment has serious issues and didn't offer to help, instead they gave me excuse after excuse and made it seem as though I was an idiot. When I have a degree in Computer Science and understand how "computers" work. I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS PHONE... PERIOD!

I have had it for three months and it calls people without me touching it, freezes up when trying to answer a call (Have to remove battery to get it back to normal) Constant application issues (force closes) and the best part of all is I have hardly any apps keep wifi and GPS and bluetooth off and my battery dies within 4 hours?! WTF?! I went to the sprint store where I bought it and they are rude to me and say that the phone is a pocket computer and to expect the battery to die quickly... Ummm I need a phone first and a damn computer second! This is thw worst android phone I have ever had (I Have had 3; Mytouch t-mobile,Hero-Sprint & Moment-Sprint) I just bought an Iphone and I am leaving sprint due to dis-satisfaction!

I had the g1 before and the only things I could really complain about is that I don't have the led notifyer for texts and that I wish the keyboard light stayed on longer but other then that the battery life is twice as long, sound is better, screen is so clear, touch screen is super responsive and never freezes... I love this phone and I guess there's a couple apps that'll make the notification light blink so problem solved! Plus this is by far the best looking android out right now and the camera is rediculously clear. My moment is a dream.

What ByteEnable said is true. You don't have WPA2 Enterprise at home. Nobody has. You're using WPA2 Personal at home. It works with Moment no question. But Moment doesn't hook up to WPA2 Enterprise, which is used in companies or schools, just like my campus network. It actually is an Android problem, not restricted to Moment. At least that's what the IT guy told me. WPA2 Ent can't even be detected by Android phones. But Sprint has good EVDO coverage at my school. So not a big deal for me. @Rich: You have to read carefully. What ByteEnable said is true. You don’t have WPA2 Enterprise at home. Nobody has. You’re using WPA2 Personal at home.
