is it true that it has a faster cpu? i like the moment because the roms do not have sense by default. plus the screen is awesome looking to me.

Take a moment and jump on the Moment. You'll love the Amoled screen. there are some home theme apps, like aHome, Open Home, Panda Home and DX Home. I think another one too.

Keyboard is good, and has more internal storage than the Hero with it's HTC bloatware on the Hero. teH Moment is a great phone and I have no issues with it....

Nothing comes to mind other than Ebay and Craigs list. You run a risk of getting screwed when buying from a previous owner. You could do like I did last December, I dumped my interesting, but Gomer Pyle Pre for the Moment and paid cash for it. Walked out the door with my Moment and was happy. Still real happy with it.

yeah i have an offer off of craigslist but im weighing my options tbh. i mean there is not a ton of development for the moment and from what i hear the moment2 will be coming out soon, so i may just wait. the only reason im not fond of the hero is the design and i hate sense.

yes, the CPU is faster. and if you root, you can get rid of some bloatware and further speed it up

there are like 23040293479 home apps. I used Taghome for a minute which wasn't too bad. Caulkins 2.1 comes with Helix launcher, which is pretty sweet, shortcut softkeys at the bottom, and double tap to bring up each of your screens.
