Ouch for the Hero. Sprint is really killing it when it comes to handset selection right now. I mean, absolutely killing it. Their lineup is pretty damn great.

At least the early Hero buyers will still be in their 30 day window when this comes out. It's good to have keyboard/non-keyboard alternatives. Especially at the same price. Although I think Hero out-specs the Moment.

At least in terms of processor it is the other way around. The Moment is an 800mhz chip vs the Hero's 600 (IIRC).

Gizmodo also says it has a SDHC slot. If true I am happy to see the return of full size SD to a smartphone! Not only are huge cards available, it greatly simplifies sending pics. Take the SD card from a point and shoot or consumer SLR and pop it right into the moment, then email away.

There is a video that shows it with a microSD card in it, it's located in a weird position above the battery.

I want to know ram and rom size of this thing and if it has the digital compass for the star gazing apps and sightseeing apps.
