Samsung's second Android phone -- the Moment -- brought a decent keyboard but otherwise underpowered hardware, despite the processor being clocked at 800MHz. It has been updated to Android 2.1, and there it shall (officially) remain.

Moment, the company behind the detachable lenses for your phone, has a new camera app, but is it any good?
Moment, the company best-known for crafting camera lenses for popular smartphones, just launched a new camera app with tons of manual and pro controls.
Moment's quickly become one of the biggest names in mobile photography accessories, and now it's stepping into the world of videography with its Filmmaker Collection.
Samsung Mobile, in its response to U.S. Sen. Al Franken over the Carrier IQ saga, says that it's sold some 25 million cell phones preloaded with Carrier IQ software, which it's been using since 2007. Many of these phones are non-Android feature phones, and Samsung repeats the response we've already heard from HTC in that it's not a customer of Carrier IQ, therefore it doesn't see the...
There was another Samsung slider on Sprint, long before anyone ever heard of the Epic 4G -- the Samsung Moment. It had pretty good hardware for it's day, with an AMOLED screen and an 800 MHz CPU, but the software left a little to be desired. Officially, it was updated to Android 2.1 and Sprint and Samsung were done with it. But not everyone gave up on the Moment, and despite some...
Two days, seven device updates pushed or announced. If that doesn't overload your systems and make you giddier than a schoolgirl, what will?!? From GPS fine-tuning to pulling the training wheels off a figurative muscle car of a phone and letting it's FPS rate run free, we can agree without a doubt that its been a day chock-full of updates. Join us after the jump to check the round up!...
Phil, Jerry and Mickey wade their way through nearly a dozen Android OS updates, a bunch of apps, your voicemails and e-mails, and bless a happy Android couple. (Seriously. Listen to the end.)
The Samsung Moment is set to receive a minor OTA maintenance update that actually started yesterday and will be rolled out over the coming weeks. The update will bring three improvements: Fixes the airplane mode issues Fixes the Skyfire browser power cycle issue Adds a Select All option to Bulk Bluetooth contact push So be on the lookout for the OTA, Moment users. Here is the newest...
If you've ever had a Sprint SERO plan, you know how damn hard it is to let it go. The old Sprint Employee Referral Offer was pretty easy to come by back in the day and brought super-low-price contract plans. But as higher-end (and more data-hungry) device launched, Sprint began to move people off of SERO. Looks as though these cries have been heard, and Sprint has decided that as of Oct...
Sprint has again updated its Sprint Football Live application, and it wants to remind everyone that the services are free to every Sprint data subscriber. Back in April, Verizon wrangled the official NFL blessing away from Sprint, and many thought that would be the end of football on Sprint, but they have been working and improving their Football Live app and it seems to offer some...
Consumer Reports' latest smartphone ratings are in September's issue of the magazine (you know, those things made out of wood pulp), and eight Android phones made the "Recommended" list. And Android made the top two phone for three of the four major U.S. carriers. The winners are (in order): Verizon: Motorola Droid (1), HTC Droid Incredible (2), HTC Droid Eris (5) T-Mobile: HTC ...
We imagine there are quite a few pitchforks being raised right about now. Sprint dropped the bad news on Twitter that while the new Evo 4G will be getting Android 2.2 (which was already announced anyway), the Samsung Moment and HTC Hero will not. Sorry, folks. That's just the way it is. But the good news is you can head over to your favorite forums -- ahem -- and get instructions for...
We pretty much spilled all the beans yesterday, but the Samsung Moment's Android 2.1 update is officially official today, right now, as in currently, and you can go get it here and be rid of that old OS you see above. And when you're done with that, head into the forums to get all the ins and outs on your renewed device. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
Above, you’ll see the official release notes from Sprint about the Android 2.1 update for the Samsung Moment. The update's supposed to be official tomorrow (though it briefly leaked out this afternoon). The document shows all the updates and improvements that Android 2.1 will be providing the Moment which are definitely welcomed with a smile – especially those pesky Bluetooth problems...
Well, folks, it’s official. Sort of. Android 2.1 for the Samsung Moment has been released as DE03. This new release was not supposed to roll out until tomorrow (the 14th), however, it seems someone down at Sprint goofed and posted it early. A couple of the bugs that were in the Moment 2.1 leaks have been squashed, and it seems to be running great so far. The DE03 .tar file is hidden...
