@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. 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.

I got the moment the day it came out. The only real issue I had was with Pandora. Apparently (as per the tech support guy) Pandora does not work too well with the Moment. The only thing I am irritated about is my signal in my house. Its garbage, and my battery life sucks as well. I talk for 30 minutes and I am down to 30%. However, seeing as how I don’t have any money for a new phone I just have to make due. Just one question here. Is there anyway to get a UMA app or something so I can synch it to my wireless router?

I purchased my first monent in mid november. I’m sorry to say phone has been a problem. In fact this is my second phone, first one was replaced after three weeks because of os freezing, could not shut down without removing battery twice.
Other issues are gps rarely works even outdoors,even more rarely inside car or bus.
Missed calls due to phone going into either airplane or silent mode by itself.
Not being able to turn off silent mode, when I do in settings it turns on in start up, really frustrating, have to reboot phone.
Battery life is about 4 hours, will try draining ’till it shuts down and then recharge.
It’s a shame I like the phone setup, this is my first pda phone, screen is excellent, also like full keyboard, but so far the moment had been more of a monster.

ByteEnable – not sure where you got your information (perhaps you’re having these problems with your phone?) but I have a moment and have none of the issues in your list. WPA2 DOES work – that is what my network at home is and I connect fine to it. I haven’t had it long enough to see the battery problem – mine lasts all day and I don’t worry about what the indicator says mainly because everyone else is saying it’s inaccurate. I have not had it power off on me yet. I wish they would do an update to 2.0, but it stands worlds above my last phone which was an HTC Titan!

I transitioned from the Droid to the Moment solely on the Verizon plan being near double what I’m paying now.I’m pleased to say I enjoy the moment and when it gets the android 2.0 it will beat the Droid processor wise.I seemed unaffected by the screen clarity. Does anyone remember having a razor? I have a feeling that the Droid will suffer from the hardware going to shit like most Motorola phones… Not that I hate the Droid I just don’t trust motorola…

My Moment lasts approx 18 hours with fairly heavy usage (and GPS on) before it needs a charge. I downloaded a task killer and kill things like NFL mobile to help. You definitely want to drain the battery completely until the phone shuts off and re-charge a couple times.

David – Open Home does allow for 7 screens. I set mine to 5 though. I have Open Home on my Moment, but I do not let it be the default. When I hit the home screen button, I choose between Home or Open Home. I have heard stories of Open Home not loading correctly, then basically bricking your phone because it keeps rebooting. Not setting it as the default keeps that from ever happening (it may not ever happen anyways). Open Home works great on my Moment, and I would recommend it.

I love my moment and will surely keep it but I am having battery issues also, it drains down really fast, I have not let it drain down until it shuts off but when it gives the warning LOW BATTER, the screen goes dim, and will not return to full brightness until it is recharged. Does anyone know how long it stays on when the screen goes dim and you get the warning??? Also you can have up to 7 home screens or extentions by downloading Open Home from the market!

I like my Moment, get good battery life (except when I play Robo Defense half the day which ends up having the screen on for 30-40 minutes a play). I’ll second the battery quirks. It will rapidly go from say 100% to 70% or 80%, sit there for an hour or two of use, then do a quick drain down by 20-30%, then sit at that number for 2 hours or more. When I did the first drain down to condition my battery, it was at 15% power for like 90 minutes despite my running a flashlight app most of that time.

The Droid sold wayyyy more units the the Moment which is why your hearing about more issues. Pretty much any phone that sells over 100k in the first week will have a good amount of “lemons”. Also the Droid was marketed a lot better then the Moment so you have users who are new to Android and don’t really know how to use it, most people who bought the Moment are upgrading from another Android phone, or some other smartphone.

I purchased a moment on November 2. loved the fact that is very sturdy. Until I started having glitches with it last week, the moment will turn off by it self, volume will increase & decrease as i listen to the mp3 player and to make it more worst it wouldnt foward my msgs, text, ring, the reception sucks. I was waiting for this phone for so long and got dissapointed. May be samsung will fix the small problems that some moments are having to improve for their next android. Now I own the HTC Hero until now no problems.

@Fred – wow, a Droid fanboy? The Samsung Moment hardware size is much more ergonomic than the Droid. And the Droid doesn’t blow it away at all. The Droid has far more issues on its release than the Samsung Moment.

Check yourself before you write clueless comments like that.
