Welllll I just got my Touch the other day. Here is my two cents.

I love the size of the Touch (SOOOO small) but I actually miss the heft of the Mogul.

The screen viewing angle issues were WAY annoying at first, but you'll get used to them very quickly. I believe it has mostly to do with to with the flush cover set over the screen. If you have seen the new little 12 inch HP touchscreen laptops, you'll see this too. I think the iphones use glass? or some sort of advanced plastic which is why they dont have that issue.

I do miss wifi. I actually hardly used it, but I just liked knowing it was there, and I used to use it when at school in a panel or speakers forum and wanted to watch tv. lol

I DEFINITELY miss the keyboard. But actually, dont be scared to try xt9, if you have never used it, ASK someone who has to tell you a little bit about how it works, i actually had no idea! But essentially, you have no double tapping! and you'll just get used to tapping the completed word instead of the space bar! its pretty great. Oh and then I use Spb FullScreen Keyboard when I know I am writing a long email or something, its awesome!

TouchFlo is pretty shitty considering. I mean PocketPlus smart scrolling is way better developed and as soon as Spb gets the kinks out of pplus with the touch, I will be turning off touchflo and using smart scrolling. HTC really needs to advance the TouchFlo, no kinetic scrolling???? WTF?

I also miss all the buttons. I think HTC could have added a few more chrome buttons (like the Sprint one) without losing the minimalistic style of the phone. But I will be trying out AE Button plus soon.

BOTH are fantastic phones. I have no idea which I will make my main phone. I am leaning towards the touch right now. ALTHOUGH, I should say all of the quams and little complaints I have with the touch (except for TouchFlo) will never be changed because they arent software related. All of the problems everyone has with the Mogul (except for 64mb which isnt all that bad) are likely to be fixed, so keep that in mind.

Happy phoning.
