Sprint and Samsung on Wednesday announced the Android-powered Moment, Samsung's second U.S. Android phone after the Behold II. The Moment is a QWERTY slider and features an 800-MHz processor and an AMOLED 3.2-inch touch screen with 320-by-480-pixel resolution. The device also has Wi-Fi, a 3.2-megapixel camera with video capture, GPS, and stereo Bluetooth. For memory, a 2GB microSD card will be included with the unit, and it supports up to a 32GB card.

The device will be available Nov. 1 for $179.99 with a two-year contract after $50 instant savings and a $100 mail-in rebate. Customers can pre-order the device on Sprint's Web site.

The unit is the second Android phone to appear on Sprint, after the HTC Hero, which we consider the best Android phone available at the moment. With their respective specs, it's entirely possible the Behold II or the Moment could take over that crown later this year.
