I would be mostly using the phone for email, lots of texting and web browsing.


So basically, which sprint phone would you choose out of all them?]]>Nov 16th 2009 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/
2.0 on the Moment has not been confirmed, but it's likely to happen either officially or via hack. Get the Moment if you want a keyboard, get the Hero if you want something a bit slimmer.]]>Nov 16th 2009 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/Nov 16th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/
Because Verizon is the absolute best network evar? Um no, Sprint gets significantly better coverage in my area. Stop spreading this shit about how Sprint sucks because it doesn't (I've had both Verizon and Sprint). The only way you can knock it is if the coverage in your area sucks, in which case you should've checked to see which carrier had the best service there. Switching from Verizon to Sprint improved my phone, lowered monthly cost, and improved service. Sprint is hella cheap compared to Verizon, which competes in price with AT&T. Long gone are the days when Sprint's service sucked ass everywhere. As far as phones, the Hero/Eris are almost exactly the same, and Droid is not leaps and bounds above the other Android phones from what I've heard, and I wouldn't want a hardware keyboard.

Hero is awesome (and rooted).]]>Nov 16th 2009 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/
The lagginess in the Pixi seems to be from some bug with EVDO as opposed to the phone actually being slow, so you might want to wait and see. It has a nicer keyboard than the Hero, a much better browser than the BBs and better build quality than the Pre.

I'm very picky with my phones and have gone through a lot of them. I just came from a 3GS, which we all know runs very snappy.

The Hero is awesome. Sense UI is amazing. It's a great, great phone. I highly recommend it, it's the best phone Sprint has right now.]]>Nov 17th 2009 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/You can mod the hell out of it, the HTC skin nicely covers most of WM's failings.
Acceptable size screen, good keyboard and Opera browser.

So my contract with AT&T is up and I wanted to switch to Sprint--I liked the Hero, but not enough to spend $179 for the Hero when I could get the Pre for $99 through amazon (I know, I know...this means virtually nothing over the course of a 2 year contract). So I ordered the Pre from Amazon with the Everything 450 plan. And then I saw this story...

Basically, what I need to know is, can I return the phone to Amazon, keep the plan, and still get the subsidized ($99) Hero from Best Buy? ]]>Nov 16th 2009 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/Nov 16th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/htc-hero-samsung-moment-now-100-on-sprint-courtesy-of-best-buy/

Hero is nice but its just a slow as my two year old Sprint touch.
Moment is faster but its chubby and lacks HTC's improvements to android.

Please give me a better phone Sprint.. soon?

Hopefully something like the new Sony Ericcson Experia X10? Or HTC HD2?
Preferably HTC HD2 with Android yes?
BIG SCREEN.. THIN.. NO KEYBOARD?
2010 ish processor not 2008 ish processor... understand????

And no the Palm Pre IS NOT an option.. not...even... remotely...close
