May I ask how your girlfriend and pals learned about the Mogul? I mean, throwing a couple of hundred dollars down on something you are HOPING to figure out, just doesn't make sense. Surely the Mogul must DO something that their previous phone did not and that's why they chose it. No?
Besides, I think the term "tech savy" is being blown out of perportion here. No one is born with knowledge about new gadgets, so there's always a time when tech-lovers like myself might refer to a message board for an answer. I've built computers and worked with aircraft navigation equipment for the last 18 years, yet up until this year I had no idea what ##778 did.
Outside of this message board, I have NEVER had a conversation about the look of a PDA phone. I'm serious. I and EVERY SINGLE PERSON I KNOW who owns a PDA phone, buys based on features. So to say that most dont, just isn't true where I'm from.
To hear others infer the opposite, forces me to compromise and suggest that maybe it's a demographic thing. Or even an age thing. Or a wealth thing.
Something to consider I guess...
In the end, I really hope the PDA market doesn't shift too heavily toward people who consider style over substance. If it does, I'll be forced to buy a tablet pc, with an air card, Vonage adapter, bluetooth earpice and mic, and huge pocketed pants to hold it. Anything is better than caving in and buying an iPhone!

You apparently misread my post. I didn't say anything about buying the phone based on how it looks. The only looks thing I talked about was people's perceptions of the owner of a high-end phone. She bought it because she seen me playing with mine. Same as the rest of my friends. None of them bought it because the are tech-savvy. 5 out 6 can't be wrong.
No one I know who has a PDA/Smart phone knows jack about gadgets. This is why the iPhone sells so well. The HTC devices could probably be marketed to this too. My friends buying them up is a perfect example.
