I'm at a bit of a crossroads.

I had finally given up on the Mogul, so I e-mail Sprint and got them to agree to send me a Touch as a replacement. Then i happened to try Sampson's WM5 ROM on the Mogul, and it has been working great. So when the Touch arrives, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Two things the Touch doesn't have that I think I would miss:

- variety of programmable hard buttons
- camera flash / flashlight

I don't see myself using Touchflo at all. Seems like a gimmick that is actually less efficient than the interfaces that it is trying to replace.

I don't use the hard keyboard much on the Mogul. I use SPB Fullscreen Keyboard in portrait, mapped to a hard button. (It works very well.) Thus, ironically, the Touch's dearth of hard buttons would make it harder for me to launch my preferred on-screen keyboard on the device that absolutely needs an on-screen keyboard.

You mentioned the lack of an OK button. What about the other buttons? Do you miss them also?
