From what I've seen you lose:
- smart dialing
- built in IOTA
- icons and taskbars, not as graphically pretty
- MS office, but it's not that hard to find the cabs for it
From what I've heard you lose:
- a2dp, while working, doesn't sound as good
- the 6gb sdhc card shows as 2gb, but my 4gb card shows as 4gb
What you gain:
- memory, nearly 30mb after a hard reset
- no memory leak
- STABILITY, no forced soft resets since I've installed it
- I haven't had to hard reset my phone either (which was a common occurrence)
- battery life, more of my belief, but I can't say for sure
- bluetooth functionality, it's louder and no complaints from the person on the other end
What I've heard:
- it's faster, although I never had a problem with WM6's speed
I'm hoping that at some point the community gets a good WM6 rom put together, I don't trust sprint/htc to do that. Until then I'm sticking with WM5.
I don't have an opinion on what the Mogul was designed for WM5 or WM6, but at the moment with the current ROMs it works better with WM5. I think WM6 is an insignificant upgrade and to use it and refuse to use WM5 just because it's a newer release is ridiculous.
