Sprint has added another Android phone to its lineup, namely the Samsung Moment. It comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a large AMOLED screen, and will be yours for $179.99 after $100 rebate after a 2-year contract. We'd suggest you to wait for the DROID to come out.

BlackBerry Curve 8330 and 8330m owners at Sprint can now get the official OS 4.5.0.175 update for their handsets. The file can be downloaded here. If you’re on another carrier, you’ll need to delete the vendor.xml file (located in c:program files > common files > research in motion > apploader) to install.

Be sure to take all the necesary precautions.
