Think about this. Google, Sprint & Samsung combining efforts to create one super product the Google Android Sprint Samsung Moment. Wow that is a mouthful.

I finally broke down and got a new cell phone, a Samsung Moment. I stuck with Sprint. I did so for several reasons. First they really do provide great customer service both on the phone and in person. Second they offer decent pricing, I checked with AT&T on the iPhone and they wanted what seemed like a lot more money for less service. Third it seemed like Android was and is going to eclipse iPhones in the very near future. Forth, Sprint rewarded me with an “upgrade” phone which is something that the carrier will do when you have been a long time customer. (So I am thinking that customer loyalty does have its privileges.).

I first got the HTC hero from Sprint and I was unable to plug in my Google ID and password. Maybe it was me but it sure seemed difficult for the on screen keyboard to work. So I reluctantly sent it back. I then got the Samsung Moment. A phone I never heard of. But it was an Android phone and it had a keyboard. I’m on day 4 and so far so good. There is a lot to these little devices and it seems like there is a lot to learn which is kind of fun when you are waiting for a plane or a train you have something to challenge yourself with.

What I found more interesting was the ability of my 10 year old son and his ease of use to use the phone and basically tell me how to use it without ever using the printed manual. I think what will be even more interesting is the cell phone advances in the next 12 months since they seem to be moving so rapidly. At the end of they day I use a cell phone for texting and calling. I do minimal surfing on the web, but it is nice to know it is there when it is needed. As for my son he likes to play games on the phone and it keeps him entertained when we drive to our hockey games and practices.
