PhoneDog Moment video from CTIA

As the man says, it’s available on November 1st, and you can signup for pre-registration here (that’s a forward slash, not backslash.)

So, the million dollar question for Android junkies looking to Sprint: “Do I grab Hero now or wait for Moment?” I don’t know. How important it the hardware QWERTY to you? I can live without it. That is, as long as I have the virtual Sense keyboard, running as it was meant to on Hero. Do you need the AMOLED display and 800 MHz processor? Only you can answer that question.

My real issue with the Hero, aside from the processor, is the look. I hate how it's black and then silverish at the bottom for all of those buttons and I hate that it has so many hard buttons. It looks ugly and I don't understand why I need so many buttons of a touchscreen phone. I really like how the moment has touch buttons right under the screen, and I have an iPhone and soft keyboards are something you never really master, sometimes you do perfectly well and the next second you can do horribly, it's definitely bot the ideal solution and I constantly question why people willingly put themselves through this. Stock Android is still awesome. The AMOLED screen rocks. The Moment has a great design and looks nicer than the Hero IMO. I wish the screen was bigger, I wish the keyboard didn't combine letters and space at on one row, but it still wins compared to the Hero. Just like the Magic, I hate the look of all those buttons and I hate that they have to even be there

I'm interested to see how the Samsung moment's camera compares to the hero's camera. Alot of people seem to think that the hero's camera should be better than it really is. How important do you think multi-touch is when it comes to browsing or playing games?

Hi John, Is an 800mhz processor absolutely necessary for a smart phone? Especially a phone that runs a polished UI like Sense. It didn't sound like anyone had any issues except for BGR. They complained it was slow, but no one else had anything bad to say regarding lag.

Necessary? No. Would it be nice? Yes. And I have read quite a few complaints about speed, but I'm not sure what their reference was. iPhone runs one app at a time basically. Run a Hero like that and it's fine. But no one wants to run just one app on a Hero. I really like the Hero, but I'm excited for some faster chips in the Android line-up.

Yes. The processor in the Hero is not enough. Try pinching to zoom in the browser, it just can't keep up.
