I ve done a ton of research on the moment and the hero. Hero is a good phone but I think the moment is better. Got the phone for 99.99 but had to pay about 50 dollars in tax, they said that they have to charge the tax for the full price of the phone(bout $650.00).. dont know if thats just a law in Cali.. Anybody know of this?" Cheeto this is indeed a law in Cali because just yesterday me and my family switched from tmobile to sprint and charged us 220 dollars in tax for 1 hero, 2 bb tours, and 2 bb pearls put together. When we asked them about this they too said that California charges tax based on the full price of the phone “I just got the moment last week at Best Buy and dont know why a lot of reviews on this phone are bad.

I also did research on Hero and Moment and by far...Moment is better. The cons of Moment...its a bit bulkier than the Hero, but the processor is faster and it doesn't FC apps as with the Hero. I previously had the Palm Treo and loved it! I tried out the Palm Pre for about two weeks and it totally sucks. I went back to my Treo. But now that i purchased the Moment....i wouldn't change it for anything! It's simply the best! As Taylor #7 post, i ABSOLUTELY love my Moment!!

Just like Wal-Mart offering the new Palm Pixi for $30. These three retailers are taking a big loss on the phone to make money off your new plan.
