When it came time to replace my aging LG Rumor I decided to move up to a “smart phone” with a larger screen which would allow me to post to my WordPress blog while away from my PC. After doing a bit of shopping around I decided to give the Samsung Moment a try.
The Moment comes with a large 3″, high contrast LCD display, a very nice slide-out keyboard and support for both Sprint 3G and WI-FI Internet connections. A 2GB micro-SD flash memory card came pre-installed as well.
The Moment’s Google Android operating system took a bit of getting used to, but by and large the learning curve was short and painless thanks to the great series of icons and menus it offers. In no time at all I was surfing the web, texting and talking to my heart’s content.
The one problem I did run into was a big one however. Since my primary reason for buying the Moment was for posting on my WordPress blogs, I was quite disappointed to discover that the post creation page was almost impossible to use efficiently on even the larger 3″ screen due to the layout of the page. But a quick Google search led me to a wonderful free app entitled WordPress for Android. I downloaded and installed it, and let me tell you it is fantastic (I’ll be posting about the app later).
So far I’m delighted with my shiny new Samsung Moment, and after I’ve used it for a while I’ll post a follow-up review.
