HTC TP2 VS Samsung Moment

xx8josh9xx · #1 (**permalink**) 11-03-2009, 05:20 AM

I currently have the Sprint HTC TP2

Only paid $99 for it (HTC), The Samsung Moment cost [me] more $199 (though overal the htc is more expensive)
the HTC has many bugs and errors, though i am somewhat used to it, and have it somewhat customized to my likings...
i dont know much about the samsung, but heard bat. life is major plus

i have until nov 10th to change in my phone, so any feedback on this would be helpful thanks

-Screen is too blue
-Keyboard layout is weird & causes problems
-Optical trackpad makes you want to throw the phone

I just recieved a moment to replace my mothers hero....

Initial impressions;

plain android 1.6 is ugly, I miss sense ui
gps is weaker and much slower then tp2/hero
BRIGHT screen, but still not as nice as hero/tp2 in color reproduction
looks/feels cheap, as in plasticy
it's light and somewhat thin
its FAST, and responsive compared to hero.. mostly cuz its stock android
the speakers/speakerphone sucks... muffled, quiet
the keyboard is laid out weird

We ditched the hero cuz no physical kb. It's her phone so it'll be her choice, but if it were me, especially if I was accustom to wm the extra money for the tp2 is well worth it.

we have one of each and both have their advantages like the tp2 I can flash but the hero is smoking fast and feels good. The screen is awesome as well. Both have batery life issues though

Really, my battery life on the tp2 is great! I think it might be because I'm using mighty rom though. By 11pm, I usually have 50% left.

I'm shocked Android is 1.6 on the Moment!

The moment so far has been nothing but amazing. Blows the socks off my old WinMo devices. It is so much faster. Optical trackpad does take time to get used to. But no bugs! Out of the box it works as it should. keyboard like all keyboards also take some adjusting, but after 24 hours with it im doing just fine. The market place has apps galore. I think Microsoft better step up thier game for WinMo 7 big time. I love WinMo but Andriod is here to stay, and with all the free cloud apps and whatnot, man.... I can even download songs as if i was using Limewire. For FREE. I have an audio editor that creates custom ringtones, and lots more. This is just in the first 24 hours. And from what I read Andriod is just as customizable and tweakable as WinMo is.... So this is definately going to be interesting. I'd like to see blackberry disappear!

I'm a little skeptical of your opinion on this. LCD backscreen + Resistive Screen combo has the TP2 limited to 65k colors, where the Capacitive + AMOLED screen opens the door to 16 mil colors on the Moment.

QVGA on the moment. That is a deal breaker for me. I had low resolution on my Mogul, two phones ago, I want a big screen and high resolution for clarity. I would wait for a Android phone with some resolution, or jump to Verizon for the Droid.
