They also kinda dicked over Moment<?> buyers too. Originally, they promised up upgrade to Android 2.x, but later reneged and said 1.5 would be the only update. I gather from various sources and comments that this is a common practice for them.
My experiences with Samsung have been lackluster to the point where I'll never buy one of their phones again. Absolute junk phone brand IMO.
Your mileage may vary of course.

I had an Incredible before this--I've now made the Droid X my primary personal phone (yes, I get to keep it!) I mentioned to someone in a PM that I also have a Droid2, and it's sitting in a desk when I leave work. I really like the big screen on the Droid X, and with Swype I don't think I need a keyboard (yes, it's that good!) At first I really missed HTC's Sense interface, but I got used to Blur. Now I'm only missing Flash in the browser--again Froyo can't get here soon enough!UNCjigga, thanks for taking the time to post. My question is this:
What is your overall impression of this phone based on other phones you have tested/used? Thanks in advance.

In an earlier post I gave specs from the System Info app (something I found in the Market.) It very specifically states GPU is a PowerVR SGX 530. That pretty much negates Snapdragon imo, as Qualcomm uses AMD Adreno-based GPU cores. TI uses PowerVR with OMAP.Maybe UNCjigga can use an app to verify what processor the phone really has? I'm not sure what app would work best though.
I hope it isn't a Snapdragon.
Just wanted to apologize on the lack of updates--I'm on business travel over the past 2 weeks and don't have the bandwidth to upload 720p videos to Youtube or a whole host of pics. I will try again later this afternoon.
The Moment (and Hero) can be updated to 2.1. Sprint released the updates over a month ago.Yep. My friend got a Moment. She is super pissed. F Samsung.
oh, cool. were these updated OTA? Or does she need to download it? I haven't spoke to her in a while.The Moment (and Hero) can be updated to 2.1. Sprint released the updates over a month ago.
@verizonwireless says they are posting live tweets and I think cnet
So what's the concensus on this vs. Evo?
Giving up the front facing camera and 4G for longer battery life (due to 45nm) and much faster CPU and GPU and more reliable network?
After using my Garmin GPS with a 4.3" screen I can't see using a smaller screen...ever. This will be my first smartphone. I've put it off till now because of the screen sizes being too small till now. As for this vs. EVO, in my area there are too many "holes" in Sprint's coverage, especially in spots where I spend a lot of time. Verizon has it covered.
It's a manual download that you can do yourself or at a Sprint store.oh, cool. were these updated OTA? Or does she need to download it? I haven't spoke to her in a while.
Can't wait for the X to get rooted and custom ROMs to proliferate, should be amazing once that happens.
