Brand New and Looks Great March 9, 2010 Gail Penn (Cliffside Park, NJ, US) I only had this phone for one day but am enjoying it immensely...but then anything would be better than the Instinct.
Great phone February 17, 2010 Koala Bear (St. Paul, MN) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Moment is an all around great phone. It is highly customizable, loads apps quickly and runs them smoothly. The touchscreen is very responsive even with a screenguard on it (I have used 2 types a cheaper one by Fellowes, and a more expensive one from Zagg). Bonus is it has a 3.5mm headphone jack (standard size) so you don't have to buy an adapter.
It may not be a perfect phone for some, I have read about battery indicator issues and other problems. I haven't had any trouble with the indicator and my phone hasn't had troubles picking up a gps signal. I haven't had any troubles where I've had to restart it (had it about 2 weeks). Also, the camera isn't great- but it's very good for a phone. I've taken several pictures in low light and had surprising results (even without flash).
Web browsing is speedier than I had expected (3g or Wifi). The speakerphone is pretty clear even when turned up, and the reception is very good even in my basement. The onscreen keyboard is much better than I had expected as well, and I find myself using it quite a bit for short messages. The pull out keyboard is better for long messages and I haven't had any troubles adjusting to it. The contacts list is efficient and you can separate your favorite/most called contacts to a separate list as well.
The only thing I wish I could change is when on a call the screen goes blank and you have to tap it twice to get back to the dialpad. It's not a big deal but I wish I could change it to delay longer for times when I need to type in codes.
Overall, I've had a very good experience with the phone and I haven't noticed any of the shortfalls. Highly recommended.
Battery life on Samsung Moment is terrible February 16, 2010 Robert R. Garcia (Anaheim, CA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The battery life to me seems to be horrible. Using the internet and stuff. Do I have a faulty battery and have to by another battery, or is this it? Nice cell phone otherwise. Anyone else notice this? I had to buy and charger for my work and car, besides my home..
Wait on it..... February 12, 2010 rdh1079 (cincinnati, oh United States) 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I snatched this phone up pretty early, against my better judgement. I like how it feels in my hand, and apps run smoothly and quickly. Internet is pretty fast as well. The screen is nice and bright, and responds well to touch input. Physically the phone is well built,especially the keyborad (dont let the people who are complaining about the placing of the space bar scare you, the keyboard is great and you get used the keys quickly) but there are some MAJOR problems.
-First and foremost of my gripes is the crappy GPS. I cannot use my 180$ cell phone to acces Sprint Nav or Google maps unless I am outside. Not in the car, not next to a window, I must be outside. This is because Samsung, unlike HTC with the Hero, did not take the time to work around the fact that Android does not support CMDA AGPS. So most of the time my phone thinks I am in some far off place, like Brazil, or Spain. This is incredibly frustrating since I use Google maps A LOT, or used to. This is supposedly going to be fixed by the Android 2.1 update, but a)who knows if it is true b)when that update is going to happen. This is a known issue with the Moment, not a problem with my unit.
-The battery, yeah I dont expect to go for days on one charge, thats not my issue. My issue is that randomly my battery will insist I only have 5% or 15% left, even if I have charged the phone for hours. The phone will stay on all day, but keep nagging me to charge it, and the screen will dim to conserve power. This is a known issue with this phone, also supposedly will be fixed with the Android update.
-The voice command key takes about 30 seconds to actually prompt me to say something, and then is slow to respond to commands. However, when it does it is pretty accurate.
-The camera SUCKS! the colors are always off, the autofocus is slow, and takes FOREVER for the camera to actually start once you have pushed the button.
-Speaker phone is nice and loud, but no one can hear me because the mic sucks.
I have owned this phone for about three months, I had to take the first one back because if i tried to turn on the camera it froze the phone. I have had a lot of time to use it and make my decisions. I would not buy this phone again. The apps are great, and generally work well, the internet is good, the phone is pretty solid. But the lack of attention to some details in very important features in this type of phone makes me feel like this thing was thrown together and pushed out the door. If i could go back I would buy the Hero.
don't waste your money February 9, 2010 speeddmn43 (Altus, OK) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Don't waste your money!! I got this phone about 3 months ago when my blackberry quit working. I thought "hey cool I can have a phone with that new droid operating system!" Boy was I taken. In all fairness when the apps work they're really cool. However, quite often I get the "program isn't working" pop up and have to hit the force close option. I miss a lot of calls due to the phone not even ringing. All of a sudden I'll just have a new voicemail. As for battery life, well just forget it. I'm not a person that is talking on the phone 20 hours out of the day or sending 500 texts a day but i still can't even make it thru a shift at work without having to plug it in on the way home and then charge it some more once i get home. I've had it phantom dial someone when i set it down on the desk and I have no idea why it did that. The idea of this phone is really cool. I liked the thought of everything on it. But since I've had it, I've had nothing but problems out of it and from what I've read, I'm not the only person experiencing the same things. All in all, there are a lot better phones out there. As for me, I'm gonna go get another blackberry.
