Going to be getting a new phone for my birthday this week. This will be my first ever smart phone. I have sprint and was wondering what the recommended phone was. The Sprint store has both the Hero and the Moment. The only diff. seems to be the full slide keyboard. From a total noob perspective can both be rooted and have hacked apps put on them. I didnt see a guide or section for the Samsung Moment thats why I ask. Anyways any help would be most welcome thanks again in advance for all your help
Wait 3 weeks and get the EVO. If you're impatient, get the Hero. Anything is better than a Samsung.

Also, please dont ever discuss "hacked" apps here. Its illegal and Xda and the community does not condone "Warez" here.

agreed. close the thread end of discussion.
If you can afford the EVO then you should wait. Otherwise, if you really can't put that extra $100 into the EVO then I say the Hero but I am biased. What I feel it really comes down to with these types of phones is what you state... the keyboard. Some people really need a physical keyboard and some don't care. That is the biggest factor in my opinion and one of personal preference.
Just remember you can bring the phone back in 30 days and get a different one if you don't like it.
Get the Hero and you will be able to go for the EVO when it comes out with Sprints 30 trade in policy. This way you can get used to an Android phone to start.
Do you want a keyboard or not??
also you might not want the evo because if you are in a 4g area there is a mandatory $10 a month charge.
Keep that in mind if you are considering that option. Supposedly if you are not in a 4g area then they don't charge you.

I was in a corporate store yesterday, asking that very question. I was told you pay the $10 whether or not your area has 4g. On the upside, I did put my name on the waiting list. You better believe I'll be there at 8am on 6/4 to pick mine up!
I went from having a blackberry to the Hero and I definitely miss having a physical keyboard. There are better keyboard apps you can get on the market that work better than the one installed on the Hero. Add a screen protector and it'll help your typing accuracy as well.
But, if you don't mind the bulkiness of the Moment then go with that.
Both phones can be rooted. You can find a lot of info on XDA if you put in some time.

I think I will try the Hero out and see if the not having the keyboard will be an issue. if it isnt that bad then with the evo and its larger screen then I think i will def be able to get used to it. the $10 a month isnt that big of a deal if it really is sooo much faster like they claim. I just want to say thanks again to all those who took the time to reply
hero vs moment
the difference is not just the KB..
Moment is Samsung and they do not support the product well once they release the next phone.
It does not have the HTC sense, I really like sense. some say they prefer plain android.
Moment has higher hardware specs, but some say the Hero runs better and more responsive.
Moment does not have the same amount of support from forums like XDA.
also.. I am bais!!!!
Ive seen a ton of threads everywhere and it seems most users and devs are making the move to the almighty EVO. So who plans to stick it out with the hero for awhile? Im more concerned with devs of course.
Just got the hero as a birthday gift in January. I'll be keeping it for at least another year. It's still great, even if the EVO comes out. I do hope some devs stay..
I'm hoping to learn all the stuff involved with Android. It would be kind of a step backwards for me to move to a new phone. Besides I've only had my Hero for a few months anyways.
this would make a great poll........
I had the hero since January, I'll be keeping it for another year as well. My dad will be getting the evo when it comes out.

Another who just barely got it in January. I paid the out-of-contract fee for the phone, so I have absolutely no intention of upgrading any time soon. The Hero is still a fantastic phone.
I only got mine a few months ago when Verizon (who I had been with for 8 years) would not get me into an Android device for less than $300. I wish I could have waited, but I could not be without Android any longer. As such, I'll be on this handset for a while and even when I move on I can see it being a great little test device.
I use Linux daily and from what I've seen of the ROM breakdowns, the way it's packaged, filesystem layout, etc - I'm definitely going to be tinkering quite a bit. This is a capable handset that has brought me much happiness already. Can't wait to really start cooking.
I thimk I got mine in june. Payed like $500 for it coming from an instint I dropped in a lake
...but im just now unlocking, r I should say the devs here have tripled what I thought this phone was about. Although ill b sad the day I say goodbye to my hero..ill get over it with my Evo! like girlfriends, u always miss them the hour it takes to have a new one..

The Hero took my virginity. I would never leave it. Like ever.
Thinking of sticking to the hero because I'd like to see more markus posts. I mean, he seems to be a smart spender. Yeah, the evo sucks because he wears footie pajama pants.
I just got mine a couple months ago, so I'll be sticking with it at least until I get another upgrade from Sprint. Can't afford the retail price on smartphones right now.
We got ours in Feb, 2 for $99 and we love love them. mine is rooted, wifes is not, although she did just get the official update to 2.1. So we'll be sticking with these until at least upgrade time...probably longer...
It all depends on a few things. #1 being how fast the EVO gets root, #2 being how good the OC roms turn out for the hero with the new eris kernel. If the hero gets OC'd enough, ill hold out and see how the EVO plays out.
I am sticking with the Hero for a while, contract etc...Plus $10/month extra WTH!??
Also the Evo's form factor seems too large, I loved my Vogue and was hesitant to get the Hero. I keep my phone in my pocket so getting a phone that needs a kick stand is a bit too much for me.
I will ditch the Hero when HTC has a smaller Android model that's same or smaller sized than the Hero.
Damn i should of made this a poll, how can i add one?
I'm sticking with it... can't afford an evo or the extra money each moth for 4g
Sticking with it til at least dec..no upgrade in site.. so i can see paying 450 retail..when my hero does everything i need.. plus i like to take the sit back and wait approach..that way i can watch all the new evo owners complain bout bugs and such..
i dont want to pay for an evo. so im going to stick with my hero and also get a moment to switch every now and then

I think the majority will keep there hero. Out of the thousands of users in this subforum only a couple hundred may actually fork over the money. I will probably keep mine for a year or more as there will be an even better phone around Christmas.

Won't bother with upgrading to the evo. Especially when they are already announcing Tegra2 for end of 2010 releases. It will just never end with android as soon as one super phone is announced they already have another in development waiting to destroy it lol
A friend was looking for a new phone. She was looking to switch to Sprint and I looked through their selection and decided on the Samsung Intercept for her. She wanted something easy and functional with a very short learning curve. She got the phone today and I was playing with it and it really seems like a piece of crap. The screen is horrible (I have an EVO so it may also be the fact that I'm comparing it to that), the phone feels cheap and the buttons are very unresponsive.
She has 30 days to return the phone so I was really just looking to get a general idea, from some Hero users, if the hero is a good buy at $150. I don't know a lot about it's capabilities, I believe that I just read that it was recently updated to 2.1. I was looking around and there seems to be a good root method and some quality roms available including CM6 so I know I can expand it's functionality. I'd appreciate just some general comments on the phone and any issues anyone has had with it, thanks.
Does she like physical keyboards? Then the epic might be worth checking out?
If not, I'm satisfied with my hero, its just a little underpowered but with cm6 and oc its very usable.

I was thinking that it was a bit underpowered. It's been out for a bit as well which is why I suggested the newer Intercept. The physical keyboard thing was my suggestion to make texting easier. I don't have an issue with typing on my screen with my EVO but that's because the screen is huge. I thought about the Epic but I really think it's way too much phone for her. She has 30 days from yesterday and the Epic is supposed to be released on the 20th so I may suggest that if she's unhappy with this one.
I just bought this Hero used after returning my Evo. $125 in near prefect condition. I'm very happy with it. I used to swear by physical keyboards until I got used to Swype, now its all I use. So many custom roms and things to chose from to do to my phone.
You're milage may vary.

I actually love my Hero right now, but would LOVE to own an EVO right now
But, I was pretty amazed to see that the Hero CDMA used to be just $49.99 or something from Sprint, and NOW, it's $149.99! Crazy huh?!? Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that crap. Now that they probably got rid of they're massive stock pile they had when it first came out, ppl are probably still wanting to get it. Especially since the EVO is sold out every-freakin'-where.
If she is a new customer Radio Shack has them for 69.99, but it was 49.99 at my local store.
Crazy thing is they want $529 for the Hero unactivated and only $499 for the Evo unactivated
Radio Shack HTC HERO
Radio Shack HTC EVO
I wouldn't mind getting an Evo, but in a couple more months we should have either 2Ghz processors and/or dual-core processors which will blow away the Evo. Once Camera preview and GPS is completely working in CM6 the Hero will be 10X better than it was. I am happy with my Hero.

That RS link doesn't work but that's the same she paid for the Intercept at RS. If that's true I might definitely tell her to switch to the Hero. She was looking for advice on a new phone and she said simple, but me being me, I couldn't bring myself to recommend any of Sprints lower end phones. Consequently I've become the buffer, easing her into learning how to use Android (Not really all that difficult but she couldn't figure out how to use Google, lol) Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it.
On another note: I have an EVO. I was really looking forward to it's release and I can honestly say that it's exceeded all my expectations. My last phone was a Touch Diamond so this was a major upgrade. I've always liked the Hero, thanks for the responses.
I had an intercept.. found that the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen didn't work consistently...
The Hero seems to work pretty well thus far...
i like everything but
call delay
com.htc.bg force closes
on 2.1 official, rooted
other than that, great
i loved my hero and had cm6, it was perfect. Then i got my EVO it makes my hero feel like it belongs in the 90s.

when i switched from my g1 to hero, my hands desperately craved the feeling of a keyboard. over time i got used to soft keyboard especially after swype. I don't think a hardware kb is necessary unless you plan on running EMU's.
i think the HERO is amazing. compared to all the other phones i have owned this blows them all out the water. One amazing thing i like about it is the 5mp camera. there is no negative side to this phone for me.

I have fat thumbs and I have no issues at all with the evo's keyboard. I thought I might be better off with a hardware keyboard and was disappointed theat the evo didn't have one. Since I got it though, I've had no problems with it and I've had it since launch day. The screen is so big that it's much easier to use than most phones physical keyboard.
I have the hero. It is rooted with aospCmod 2.3.3. Should I get to the evo, or wait a bit longer. Im screwed on the upgrade part of it, as it is after aptir for me. Maybe sprint will have something worth waiting for at CTIA?

Games- I don't play much(besides Star Traders), just a couple. I'm all about fast browsing and watching videos like on YouTube etc. Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate your input

now that I'm running AOSP 2.3.3 along w/ Launcher Pro instead of ADW, I feel little need at the moment to move to a Evo. I mean, I still want to, but this thing is so much better than a stock hero, that I think I'll be good for a while.

Dim, I think we should. I'm sick of the hero. Only reason I got it was because I didn't have the cash for a good phone. Now I do, so screw it, I'm tired of trying rom after rom just to tolerate my phone. I'm getting the Evo for sure.

I love my evo to death! I took a cruise through the hero forums today to see if there's any new and cool to do to my moms hero(still a good phone), I noticed a lot of you guys are on the fence trying to decide between the shift and the big one!
A couple things I want to point out. Shift may have slightly better specs but regardless I have never seen a slow down on anything, life is fast and large.
Also on the keyboard side, the on screen keyboard on the evo is much better than the hero due to a improved touch sensor and just having the buttons be larger. Also after you get it you can remove the stupid arrows(they take up too much space).
Go down to a Sprint store and play around with them till you find something that really makes you say yes this is sweet. For me, I have large hands and the evo is a lot easier for me to use because of the big screen(also I use the kick stand at least twice a day.). And they just got hdmi out working too!
Also in no way am I trying to put down the Shift, just pointing out even though papa evo is older its still in no way a slouch.

I'm glad sprint is sticking with the EVO brand for its flagship android devices. Don't get me wrong, I like choices, but I mean the EVO is almost a year old, and it hasn't been until recently that anything else worth buying has come out (atrix, nexus s, etc.). Now that they're refreshing it, I'm sure the new EVO will be the best thing on the market for a long time.

I'm waiting on the EVO 3D
Here's what I did... may help someone...
I knew my upgrade was going away come this Friday. So, I used my upgrade to get my new Evo (upgraded from old beloved Hero). Got it at Best Buy. Forked over $149 (had a $50 coupon) and paid them the extra $40 for their BuyBack program & BlackTie. Original retail cost of the Evo is listed at $599.
Then, I upgraded my plan to Shared to include my mom (porting her away from TMobile... so, that's an extra $150 service credit promotional from Sprint right there). BestBuy is currently running a new activation promotion and gave her a free LG Optimus S, retailing at $399. I spent an extra $40 for their BuyBack program on this phone also. Then, I gave my mom my old Hero and had Sprint do a free handset swap. So, now I've got this free LG Optimus sitting around in a box, never gonna be used. And I'm canceling the mandatory BlackTie $10/month on the 31st day from purchase.
Still with me here? So... when the new Evo 3D comes out, all I gotta do is take my current Evo back into Best Buy within the next 6months and they give me a $299 gift card for my Evo on BuyBack, and $199 for the never been opened Optimus S.

And your mom gets your ****ty old Hero. LMAO. JK, Sounds as if you worked the system for sure. Question though, Lets say the 3D retail is 599, 699, 799 without the upgrade price. Will they roll back your eligibility to get the phone at the upgrade price? I guess it's better than spending the full retail.
You are getting back 498 for sure but you come up short and then if your.. "Mom's" hero breaks... then you have to get here a new Optimus S on Ebay.
I do hope it works out for you. Sounds like some of the finagling I do.

What happened to the Droid DNA? The DNA has only been out for 3 months and HTC is already forgetting it.

The DNA was released for Verizon only. All other major us carriers are getting the one, except verizon. HTC has already announced that 'the one' will be the only one series device in 2013. I understand everyone's setbacks. But I'm not passing up on a hardware beauty like this one. Not to mention it looks like every major dev team is planning on getting at least one. Check out the thread in the one general section to see who all is on board. Also everyone's favorite dev will have one too lol @jon

I gave HTC a shot and I'm done with them :/ I hate having to unlock the bootloader...and s off - that's just stupid...they honestly make it so hard to customize your phone...heck it be easier to jailbreak an iPhone than get an HTC phone setup for Rom flashing, then you got the crappy source...and extra security measures...(in-call Mic issues for att users) - who's to say they won't do the same on the one....if the s off process is anything like the vivids...well good luck with that as I'm pretty sure the one doesn't have a removable battery /end rant

My one X is s-off a new method recently came out to do it, and it's nothing like the Vivid was cause I owned that to, never bothered to try s-off due to the stupid method.
HTC is doing a stupid move by removing microSD slots from their newer phones. We aren't babies, I'm tired of HTC treating us only a few years older then Apple does their users.
With all that being said, I'm not wasting hundreds and hundreds on a device that can't even include the basics like access to the battery and a MicroSD slot. This is day one **** HTC. I WON'T be getting a one, actually selling my HTC one X right now to switch brands. Sad sad thing.

And no, I won't be getting the One. Nothing could ever convince me to buy another HTC product. I'll probably end up with a Galaxy S4.

Yea im pretty sure that the only difference, but the only issue i see is the non remove able batter, which for me isnt even an issue, i have insurance on all my phones ( just cause i know something goes wrong and i always get them switched out ..always on my 3rd vivid right now) So if the battery starts ****ing up new phone for me XD yeaaaa hahah
I'll get it the day it comes out:laugh:
90% Yes. Still debating getting the SGS4 or the possible Motorola NXT.
