No logo here, I got it from BB. I've still haven't driven to the next town over to see if I have it. I was in Boston on Saturday, but never thought I needed to check if REV.A was on. I haven't needed to worry about that since the early days on the Vogue. One thing I did notice pictures were taking awhile to upload compared to my TP

So, if you need the physical keyboard (the spelling suggestions on the hero are fantastic, and I rarely make typos...), you may want to wait for the Samsung Moment. Android is awesome, and in many ways, better than WM. I was very familiar with WM, so finding things in Android has been a challenge. Also, getting used to a capacitive screen took a few days. When you are used to pinpoint precision, you need to adjust to a screen that only accepts finger input. But now, I don't think I could ever use a phone with a resistive screen again. And the screen resolution is not an issue for me. Granted, I upgraded from a QVGA to a HVGA device, but with the pinch to zoom feature in photos and the browser, it makes reading anything very easy.

For me to switch back to WM after using Android for the weekend, MS better come back with something ground breaking. I know it's early in my Android usage, but so far, I'm sold.

Couldn't have put it any better. I didn't like my brothers Diamond as I felt it to be too sensitive and it FELT like a capacitive screen as it seemed as though you had to use more of your finger for typing then my nail as I was used to with my mogul. I too at first didn't like the Hero's keyboard and took some getting use to but now i'm getting pretty fast and the predictive text and suggestions rule!

I'm running 1.5.

And to quiqnezz's point, I do notice some slowness when loading pages sometimes.

Was there a way to tell if you were on Rev A, or Rev 0 with WM?

i went to 2 sprint stores and they are not in stock for up to two more weeks yet. they don't even have all of the info ready.

[jbearamus]

i'll see if theres a discrepancy tomorrow when i pick mine up from a sprint corporate store, what on the phone are we checking exactly to see which Rev we're running?

nevermind, ask quiqnezz i guess

i know this is 2 different phones but would this be a upgrade from the diamond or touch pro? my usb on my touch pro and since this is my 4th phone this year maybe its time to move off of windows mobile
