The Moments slide-out QWERTY keyboard makes it the superior choice for texters over the solid HTC Hero.


Highs: Google Android OS; slide-out four-line QWERTY keyboard; quick 800 MHz processor; excellent 3.2MP camera with flash

Lows: Green/grey tinted AMOLED screen; only 3 home screen panels; bulky and heavy; microSD card slot buried behind battery

Introduction

If you are a Sprint subscriber seeking an Android smartphone, or are looking to switch from another cell phone carrier, you suddenly have two Android handset options to choose from: The HTC Hero and, now, the Samsung Moment. Even though both run Google's open-source operating system, however, the two phones are quite different. Happily, the Moment includes three features to recommend it over the Hero: A slide-out QWERTY keyboard, an AMOLED display and a speedy 800 MHz processor. The big question, though – just how much does this trio of handy additions give the Moment an edge over the Hero?
