Its actually running a hax0red 1.5 that includes CDMA cooked in by HTC/Sprint.

It probably is the root cause for the delay.

well the AMOLED display on the Moment looks pretty nice...hard call.

I will still have 15 days after the Moment comes out to see if I want to change..

Nice screen and 800mhz proc.. but stock andriod and thicker...

I have had my sprint hero for about 1.5 week. I am really happy with it. The SenseUI is a beautiful UI for the Android. Makes it seems like an Iphone but better. Very easy to use and intuitive. Screen is sharp and the 5MP camera with auto focus take great photos. The integration and cosolidation of the apps (facebook, sms, flickr, etc.) which ties to individual contacts is super intuitive and a really good idea.

There are a few issues (mostly software) and those are easily fixable and I am sure HTC and or Sprint will come up with a fix soon enough. In the meantime, there are work arounds and forums like this one really help. I saw video of samsung UI and I am not impressed. HTC SenseUI all the way!!

Tuffgong4, I don't blame you on the AMOLED display. I was seriously tempted by that too. Unfortunately, I just prefer on screen keyboards over the physical ones. And HTC did such a nice job putting a pretty face on top of Android with Sense (just like they did with WM and Touchflo3d) that it is hard to not want one (HTC Hero). Very nice phone by the way.

Just want to add a little. I have had phones with keyboards and without. The best on screen kb as far as prediction I have used is the hero's. My tp's slider caused problems all the time and died twice. While i love the hero I can say that I hope HTC and Sprint don't drag their feet on an update like every other phone. last I saw tp1 was still awaiting an official update! But the hero is sweet and no probs for me that there isn't a workaround for so far!

the moment is still slower though right? I read a rumor about the HTC Dragon coming to sprint......1 ghz Snapdragon......and eclair!

I heard the same if that's true I'll have to find some way to upgrade. Sounds like the dragon will be a super Hero lol.

I was never considering The Moment. But if I was, the rubber covers on the usb and headphone jack are deal breakers for me.
