Samsung Moment vs DROID

I am currently looking at these two phones. The DROID uses Verizon and the Samsung Moment uses Sprint. Sprint seems to have a cheaper cost per month but only slightly. Anyone have any thoughts on this.

Both are excellent phones, though all my personal experience is with the Droid. The Moment has a better keyboard, but all accounts, than the Droid though. However, the Droid seems to have a more active ROM development community. There's little reason to run stock on the Droid, on the Moment, you may have no choice.

head on over to sdx-developers if you get a moment. not as big of a group as the droid or HTC phones but there is a comunity developing for it. also they just released a 2.1 rom for the moment. I went moment because sprint is so much cheaper then verizon for essentially the same network. (after discounts I"m paying 85 a month for two phones with 1500min, data and text)

$30/mo is "only slightly"? That's $360/year. Pays for your phone.

If I were you I'd wait for the HTC EVO.
 
I'd rather have a Droid than the Moment that I currently have, but the lower cost of the Sprint network is worth more to me than a somewhat better phone. You can always get a better phone (well, the Moment/Hero are the best Sprint has for now, but they'll get more good phones in the future), but you can't always get a lower price.

I had (and still have for another month) the $30/month SERO but you can't get a Droid phone on SERO (or any good smartphone), so you're stuck with the $69.99 plan at minimum.

I got a Droid on Verizon and pay $39.99 + $30/month for basically the same features. I don't get VZ Navigator (or Sprint Nav), but who needs it when you have Google Nav. I do miss some texts here and there but I prefer email anyway.
 
droid > moment in every way...minus the physical keyboard.

however, the htc evo 4G looks really good, but im pretty sure you'll have to pay a little extra to use 4G per month.

With Sprint you can get EPRP which is $60/mo instead of $70 for basically the same thing (actually it's 50 extra minutes, 500 vs. 450). Then again, there are numerous corporate discounts you can get with either one. But even if you don't qualify for a corporate discount, you can get EPRP. With Sprint you can even get a discount if you're a credit union member.

And like you mentioned Sprint includes text messages for the same price as the Verizon plan without them. That's important for me; not for everyone though. And Sprint's plans get a lot cheaper when you look at family plans.

Actually, I can understand why. For my BlackBerry, my data usage was super low. I've only had my Droid for a week and my data usage has skyrocketed. I mean, something simple like Pandora or full page websites just adds up like crazy.
 
I have a Droid and I love it. You'd have to do something phenomenal to get me to give it up. Also, Sprint has fucked me over multiple times in the past. I dont seem myself using them for a LONG time. Verizon might be the most expensive, but they seem to also have the best customer service and network coverage. Not saying they are awesome, just better than the other guys.

And supposedly Verizon is the only service usable in the DC Metro, which makes no sense because they're both CDMA, but whatever.

I have no problems with Sprint, loved them when I was on my BlackBerry.

If Droid was available on Sprint, I'd stay with them. Verizon and Sprint have basically the same network as they roam on each other when the other doesn't have a tower nearby.
