KEEP MOGUL or buy Treo 800 or wait for Touch Pro

I got the treo 800 about three weeks ago. It was much faster and did not have to worry about memory issues. Besides that it was exactly like the mogul. I had issues with mine and returned it to the store and they said they were out of stock, so I went back to my mogul. Here is my question: Should I go to another store and get the treo800w OR keep the mogul for now and wait for the touch pro to come out? Can you guys advise me and provide info on why I should wait or just get another Treo?? Thanks in advance.

Depends, do you prefer the form factor and square screen?

If you like the mogul's form factor better then wait for the touch pro. If you like the treo's form factor better get one of those.

There's really no wrong answer as long as you're happy.

I guess my real question is, is there a really big upgrade from the treoo 800w to the touch pro that it is worth the wait?

True VGA screen would make me wait for the Pro. Plus, for me, the Treo screen is too small.

With the next crop of HTC phones on the way and Android close behind, I can't see upgrading right now.

Re: KEEP MOGUL or buy Treo 800 or wait for Touch Pro

I was in your same shoes. I bought the Treo 800 recently and played around with it. Never activated the phone but used wifi to connect to the net. I've had the Mogul for a yr now. Prior I had the treo 700p, before that 650, and 600. So I thought I would love the 800w. Turns out after being accustomed to a larger screen and having Touchpal for on screen keyboard, I found the Treo actually harder to use. Screen wise, generally when surfing, the fonts are just too small. You can change the font size but then you still have a smaller screen. Same thing with using Opera, or other 3rd party browser. Watching videos landscape mode on the Mogul is so much easier on the eyes. Google Maps, Live search has more realstate compared to viewing them on the Treo obviously. Although...these might not bother some. Regarding the keyboard, Touchpal makes it so easy to type compared to the hard keyboard on the Treo using one hand. Atleast for me. But if you're still using the slide out keyboard then obviously you would prefer the Treo keyboard. Again it's all preferences. Unfortunately with my everyday use, I find the Mogul is the device for me. So I'm sticking with it until the Touch Pro comes out.
