That could mean new productions of the current Mogul will have 128MB OR the Moguls replacement.

Either way I'll be getting either one for free.

I'll meet you by a Sprint store at 1am when they get the new batch and a whole bunch of us will get the Mogul II for free!

Well, now we know why it's been so hard for people to get replacements recently.

We appreciate the feedback and I have shared it with our team that is
responsible for our handsets and products.

Way to snitch on everybody, dude.

[papped]

So the "next" generation will have the ram that current gen phones already have....

[Vertigo]

Like Bill (Sprint employee Commack, NY corp store) said to a desperate customer... If you don't like to wait you are in the wrong place....

oops sorry Bill I put you in the spot!

A mogul with these software issues resolved and 128mb of RAM would be the perfect phone for me.

The more I think about the the touch, the less I like it

I tried installing mGMAPS on my Touch, but get a 910 authorization error. Searched, but could not find any references on this forum. Any suggestions?

Just to see if it would work any better with an Alltel 6800, I gave it a try. I'm stuck at the *.jar install with the message "The suite Mobile GMaps cannot be installed because the permission com.qualcomm.qjae.gps.Gps is not available on this device -58". I assume that this is the error relating to the locked API since it doesn't have root access. Is this the same issue that you ran into on the Mogul?

Exactly.

So what's happening here is that either the API is locked down... or it doesn't exist at all (yet). Sometimes error messages can be deceiving, the permission issue could also be there's nothing there to access. The fact that Sprint themselves are not charging for location based services on the phone themselves leads me to believe that it's just not possible (yet).

Thanks to everyone that tried this out, you folks are the best At least I can take a rest from trying to crack this nut until Sprint/HTC release the next ROM.
