Ready to live in the Moment? Sprint certainly is, and Samsung is helping them do so by making the Moment official. The Samsung Moment for Sprint is equipped with the following features:

• 3.2″ AMOLED touchscreen
• physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard
• 3.2 megapixel camera
• Wi-Fi and GPS
• 800MHz processor – wow, speedy!

In spite of the fact that the design of the Moment is nothing to write home about, it should be very snappy with an 800MHz processor and it’s price isn’t too bad at $179.99 with a two-year agreement. Are you considering living in the Moment?

Verizon will finally have an Android-powered phone and Motorola will be diving into the ‘droid pool. We couldn’t be happier about this bit of rumor, and hopefully it will be confirmed as legit.

The Android Dog, a ‘Droid’s best friend, has been missing from in front of the GooglePlex since this past summer. Affectionately named “Alex” by Android engineers, he was the faithful companion of “Mike”, or “Droid”, but was stolen and there is no sign of him.

If you happen to spot Alex (hard to miss, don’t you think?), let us know. However, it’s likely this little ‘droid doggie is sitting in a frat house somewhere.
