Because its in Beta the channel selection was extremely limited (2 channels) but [...]

The Samsung Moment was used yesterday to demonstrate a new mobile TV chip that allows the phone to pick up local broadcast stations, “including prime-time network programs, local news and sports and emergency alerts.”

An excerpt from the press release:

Usually when a mobile carrier/manufacturer needs to “clarify” something in terms of dates or updates its about delaying, pushing back, or doing something else you don’t want them to do. For once, Sprint and HTC have made us very happy by doing what we DIDN’T expect them to do: they scratched the Sprint HTC Hero [...]

Well load up the freezer and stock your basement with emergency disaster supplies because Sprint just tweeted that the update is coming “roughly 1H [...]

Well it seems Samsung has released the Moment’s open source zip files. Samsung has been quiet about the Moment as well as Sprint. Wonder why?

Usually we would be jealous to see another site unboxing something we really want. But in this case its a bit different – you’ve already seen that we played with Sprint’s 2nd Android Phone in our Samsung Moment Video/Pictures post from CTIA. But Engadget got to take one directly out of the cradle and took [...]

The Samsung Moment is headed to Sprint on November 1st and I’m a little surprised other sites haven’t covered it much so far. It was on display at CTIA and I took a little video and snapped some pictures, included below for your viewing pleasure.
