I just had a chance to play with both phones side-by-side, and here’s my take:
I was dead set on buying the Moment because of the faster processor, hardware keyboard, and AMOLED screen. I’m not so certain anymore.
The keyboard was nice, but not fantastic. Coming from a Q9h, the layout is slightly different. Dedicated function key for smilies? Really? The slide mechanism seemed decent, but already a bit loose. Having used a Samsung slider before, I’m baised against them.
The error correction on the Hero seems much better than vanilla Android, at least on a “quick brown fox” test.
I was expecting the screen to blow me away, and it really didn’t. I played a couple videos on both phones and honestly much of the time I preferred the Hero. The colors seemed more vivid.
Processing power: 800MHz… that’s 2 times the power of the first computer that I had. And the phone still lagged. What?!
Call quality: I called home and my dad said both were equally ok. The earpiece on the Moment is signifincantly louder.
LED alerts… I can’t believe the Moment doesn’t have them! What good is a battery-saving screen if I have to turn the phone on whenever I am away.
