The Samsung Moment, known as SPH-M900, is a smartphone manufactured by Samsung that uses the open source Android operating system.
The phone features a 3.2-inch 16M-color AMOLED capacitive touchscreen and a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera. Compared to Sprint's version of the HTC Hero, the device offers a left-sliding QWERTY keyboard with Search Key, four-way navigation with arrow keys, a faster processor, and more available user-accessible memory; however, the Moment has a lower-capacity battery and its touchscreen hardware does not offer multi-touch support. An exclusive custom version with an internal MobileTV antenna and external antenna jack was released in 2010 in the Washington, D.C./Delaware metro area for a public field test of the Mobile ATSC standard.
The base of the Moment's Android 1.5 interface is identical to the unmodified Android install in T-Mobile's G1 phone; built-in software includes Mobile Google services such as Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Calendar, and Google Talk. Building from that, Samsung added Moxier Mail (POP/IMAP Support, Microsoft Exchange access) and Nuance VoiceControl, while Sprint installed NFL Mobile, NASCAR Sprint Cup, Sprint Navigation, and Sprint TV.
In May 2010, Sprint made an update to Android 2.1 (Eclair) available on its website, then announced in June via Twitter that the Moment and HTC Hero would not be upgraded to Android 2.2 (Froyo). A third-party upgrade to Android 2.2.2 was later released in February 2011 by enthusiasts at The Haxung Development Group.
As of the latest Android 2.1 build DJ07, the Samsung Moment, the Samsung Intercept, and the Samsung Transform (all based on the same SoC) do not include support for OpenGL ES 1.1 or 2.0 (in Android 2.2) despite hardware support for it. A community led complete rewrite of the g3d drivers is in development. Samsung Moment and Intercept users have also been reporting issues of data and airplane mode lock up over the CDMA network while using various browsers, streaming software such as YouTube and Pandora, and even randomly for seemingly no reason. The data/airplane mode lock up also prevents making voice calls and forces user to restart the phone to have connections restored. Enabling wifi radio while using CDMA network makes the issue more frequent. GPS has also been a "hit or miss" feature on the Samsung Moment, as some devices have perfectly working GPS, others have semi-working GPS, and yet others have completely dead GPS altogether.
