I didn't believe it, so I called Samsung support. Samsung says the Moment comes with Android 1.5. However, an Android software update came out Friday, 1/15/10. This update is available through the Sprint stores: Go into sprint store and ask for upgrade of the phone OS. Samsung could not tell me if the update was 1.6 or 2.0, but she said the store would know. I plan to check this out tomorrow in person. If the info is accurate, I plan to buy the Moment. For me, Android 1.6 or 2.0 is the deciding factor, because I need Google Maps Navigation. I spoke with Sprint today and they told me the Samsung Moment now comes with Android 2.0.

My moment is always on either 3G or EVOD and I never have a problem. Maybe it's just location... I passed up a Pre, G1, Droid, and IPod for my moment and I love it. Can't wait to get Android 2.0, but whatever, the things I'm missing certainly aren't killing me and definitely aren't dealbreakers. @ Rosenbaur

The moment is what I call a vanilla android. You can get a true android for the same price. Sprint has a1lot of guts selling the moment for $179. They should give the thing away. The moment calls itself a Google phone, yet you can not get all the Google apps.Shame on you sprint. Maybe things will change when sprint up-grade to 2.0 when ever that is. Why not go for broke and give us 5.0??? Have you heard of fales advertising? My Moment is running 2G. Where is the 3G net work?? Can some one answer my questions? This will not be the last time you hear from me. I just got the sprint moment and I am very disappointed to find it runs,1.5. I went from the G1 to this? The moment is what I call a vanilla android.

Which the camera is really too bad because I really wanted to test Google goggles. 2.1 will be here in a working order soon thanks to XDA for the kinds of people that read these threads, so long as they feel like doing the work to root and install. And for everyone else I doubt they know the difference really anyway. Thanks to XDA though they've kept me happy with my phones for years now.

If Sprint waits till after the real gphones come out they will loose one premium customer as I jump to a real gphone that gets updates in real time not Sprint time.

Although I love my Hero and my Sprint service, if the Passion Dragon Bravo comes out in January on Verizon, I'm definitely switching. Watch this mug drop in May. Hell, they could've at least given us 1.6 in the meantime.

You can get a task killer and kill the Sprint apps that pop up, but there are about four apps that automatically start themselves after you kill them. Currently, the only way to stop these apps from appearing (as far as I know) is to log on as root and remove them. @iHEART_android — The apps that goodntru was referring to are the Sprint apps that are built into the Moment.

I'm 90% certain my next phone will be based on Android because I can't wait to get rid of my current WinMo device and I would never switch to AT&T, even for an iPhone. After researching the current Android offerings, I think the Hero would be a good fit...but I'm waiting for two things: 1) offer existing customers the same $100 price tag (via BestBuy) as it does for new customers (after all Sprint is bleeding customers and I would be upgrading my service plan) 2) Android 2.0+. The longer the wait...the increased chance that I find another Android device, possibly with another carrier, and reevaluate the purchase entirely. Hint, hint: HTC Dragon/Passion/Bravo or HTC Legend. Come on Sprint...you are FINALLY getting back into the game with competitive devices but the other carriers are still holding the lead with more advanced offerings and better promotions.
