Coming Soon To A Sprint Dealer Near You…
That’s right. Another new phone from Sprint and Samsung, called the Moment and is the replacement for the Instinct Q. And it is just as bold and beautiful as the Intrepid, if not even more. It is a nice little slider style smartphone due in stores November 1st for a nice (not so) little price of $179 and that is with the $100 instant savings and after the mail-in rebate, according to the Sprint website.

Why Another Smartphone So Soon?
Why are Sprint and Samsung both releasing two new phones back to back? Officially, I don’t know. But in my opinion it was probably a good idea. The Intrepid is loaded with Windows Mobile 6.5, the first ever Sprint phone with Windows Mobile OS. So I believe that they weren’t sure how that would go over, so they are releasing another phone to make up for it. The Moment is packing the Android OS. The Android OS has a proven track record and the customers all seem to like it, so I think that since the customers are being given a choice between two new phones, they might just choose the Moment over the Intrepid. And I think that with all the bad press WinMo is getting lately, Moment will probably take the flag in this race.

So What Does Is the Moment Packing Under the Hood?
The Moment is sporting an 800mhz processor, 3.2 megapixel camera, optical trackpad, and a 3.2″ AMOLED display. And, so as far as I know, its QWERTY keyboard is a little better than CLIQ’s, making texting snappy and accurate. The only downfalls this phone seems to have is what it doesn’t have. And that would be intelligent social media integration. What a bummer. With the amazing popularity of social networks today, it might just be enough to cause a problem for the Moment…(pun intended). But maybe the restrictive touchscreen (making it more accurate) will make up for it, although I doubt it.

So What’s The Verdict?
Well, I think that if you haven’t yet sprung for Samsung’s Intrepid, than good for you. Go for the Moment instead. It seems to be a better phone all around, and isn’t that what having a smartphone is all about? Mine is bigger than yours mentality seems to really be taking over in the world of mobile phones, and the Moment seems to be bigger than the Intrepid, and definitely worth it.
