The truest thing I've seen today. Sprint had discontinued many, many phones in the past and not just PPC's. I don't think there will be a recall because that just doesn't make business sense especially with Sprint suffering lower earnings like never before.
We kind of have to realize that that there is a HUGE business sector out there that relies on PPC's like the Mogul. Although personal users here report fine performance, I think some of the business users are finding that they're Moguls are inconsistently performing. From the get go, the Mogul was released with serious bugs, and from I've read I think they're finding ROM upgrades may never fully address those issues (Rev A). So I anticipate the Mogul being phased out much quicker than the 6700 was. I think by this time next year maybe they'll not be selling Moguls anymore. Instead there will be a great deal of money and effort to market the new Vogue and another phone (6900?) maybe?
You never know though, the mogul could pull through just like the 6700 and they'll keep selling it for years to come.
