Trip report - mogul with latest stock sprint rom

So, annual trip back east, but first trip with latest sprint rom...

RevA usb tethering under linux - great - noticeably better speed.

GPS nav using Windows Live Search (standalone) - great but still needs a soft reset if it doesn't get a lock within 20 seconds (usually means gps is in that weird 'never get a lock' state...)

Overall battery life, great - am able to talk 30-60 minutes, and use gps/nav for 20-40 minutes, along with normal internet use, with plenty to spare in a day.

Two thumbs up. Will be interesting to see if a custom wm6.1 rom is noticeably better.

I used mine on a 700 Mile trip from FL to GA last weekend with TOMTOM running constantly. The battery drained within a few hours. I had a car charger but the phone would start to get hot when it was on the charger and the orange light would start flashing. A few minutes in front of the AC vent would cool it down.

Now everyone in my family wants one.
