HTC Hero or Samsung Moment?

[Kunmui]

Finally taking the plunge and getting my first smartphone on sprint. would like to try out android os so i'm kind of torn between the hero and moment.

havent played the any of the phones physically so what i guess it comes down to qwerty keyboard vs touchscreen?

again, my first smartphone so im open to other suggestions as well.

Well, not sure which one is good, but we can do research on internet.

I would get the Hero. HTC's Sense UI is way better than what Samsung offers.

Unless you need the qwerty keyboard, my subjective opinion is the Hero. Better UI, appears to have better support with potential upgrades, fixes, and the anecdote commentary on Twitter and other forums point to the Hero as well.

Though I do like Samsung to succeed in the Android sphere too, but they need to stop the bad habits from their Windows Mobile and Symbian phones (untimely support, questionable UI layering).
